    Personally much as i like Khan i think Zab would do it . He was always the best American fighter in that weight class of his generation before he walk into a big shot from Kostya and had his confidence knocked by the defeat and subsequent mockery . Now back down at 140 he seems like a happier more relaxed guy with nothing to prove .
    Zab Judah is a proper slick (very overused word i know ) african american fighter which is something khan has never faced beforeand i think the older wiser Judah would test khans boxing abilities more than any other guy in the division .
    I'm probably wrong and i'm not hating on khan but i do think Zab Judah is the dark horse of the division which is probably why i doubt he'll be allowed anywhere near Khan< Ortiz , Bradley or Alexander . Lets face it Kotelnick can maul Alexander think what Zab would do .
    Anyhows this is as much of Zab at 140 question as it is a Khan question .

    You mean Zab Judah???
    :rofl

    Khan would box him to bits.

    5-6 years ago might have been a different story, but not now.

    I'm not sure i think Zab may well be entering crafty akward veteran stage and be gearing up for some B-hop/Johnson horrible old maness .

    Judah has not beat anyone for 6 years khan would be to much.

    Possibly, but from what i've seen of Zab lately he is shot to ****.
    Nowhere near as fast as he used to be...I'd take Khan to win by KO anytime from 8 rounds on.

    I'd expect and hope khan would win also but i think if he fights someone to keep in shape before fighting the winner of Bradley vs alexander i think he'd learn more from fighting Judah and face more of a potential banana skin with him than anyone else .
    I dont know if the Peterson fight has been confirmed but thats the fight that would get my pay per view money and intrigue me most .

    Not Prescott?

    Imagine the PPV figures would be a fair bit more than the first fight...

    I'd pay my money to watch that too . The thing about prescott is he's one of the few guys in Khans weight division who can match him for height and reach .
    If you watched Prscott lose to Mitchell and the little mexican dude (i dont use boxrec to to appear like i know more than i do , although i did watch the fight) they were smaller fighters who were able to get inside his guard and fight up close .
    Every one of those big punches that missed Mitchell and had the man from sky pressing the whoosh button on his casio were exactly were khan likes to fight range wise .
    Prescott is too much of a risk for golden boy and not a fight i'd pick if i was his manager .
    Even if he beats Prescott he's already proved he can beat a big punching clumsy oaf against Maidana where as Judah is a hole different kettle of fish .
    If Khan is serious about fighting Mayweather . And if i was his promoter and promoted both of them thats afight i would make . Then Zab is the perfect warm up fighter .

    I agree, I still think Khan whoops Zab though.
    I am a big Khan fan after his performance against Maidana (I know he is clumsy) and personally I would like him to lay to rest the ghost that is Prescott. Until he does that I will not be able to get fully behind him (no homo) ;)

    And if he does ever fight Mayweather I think it will be his last! As much as Floyd gets on my nips I think he is supremely talented and would destroy Khan (or Pac for that matter) but sadly I dont think they will ever fight.

    Personally if i was khans promoter i'd push for khan Maywather and Mayweather would go for it as well . Risk vs reward its the best fight there for both men . Mayweather doesnt hit harder than Maidana which takes it into a technical boxing match and in technical boxing match theres very few fighters in the world that can beat Khan .
    Thats why he needs to fight Zab . When i look at Judah i cant help but think that Mayweather stole his life and i reckon he thinks that too .
    In terms of skill sets there very siimilar if khan can beat him comfortably then he has a chance against mayweather .
    My feeling about Judah and what i think makes him dangerous is he's a young veteran who seems relaxed and would go into the ring with nothing to worry about and nothing to prove .

    I think Zab with a come from behind KO. I can see him landing that 'dragon punch' of his and when he does it will be curtains for Khan.

    Zab buzzed the hell out of Clottey with that shot but he was admiring his work so couldnt follow it up. Khan would definitely fold if it landed

    Judah would shell up once Khan starts to tag him. The perfect style for Khan, a guy who won't fight back

    Probably die on his ass after four rounds, and end up getting stopped late or beaten pretty wide on points.

    It would be an interesting fight for the first four rounds though.

    Same if he fought Khan.
