Why not? If he puts on a good performance right before one of the biggest fights in a few decades, it could launch him into proper stardom in many nations.
Judah's a much bigger American 'name' than any of those guys. Bigger than anyone else who can reasonably make 140, other than Hatton or Marquez, and both of those guys are off the table.
Khans fought the greatest southpaw amateur of the past 20 years, trading wins, and sparred the P2P greatest fighter, who also happens to be a southpaw. Zab will struggle to get past Khans jab, especially with the Discipline Roach has instilled in him, and will give up after 4 rounds,as he does, and get annihilated for the rest of the fight.
He has sparred Manny only a few times in his build up for his past fights. He does not emulate a style for cotto or a hatton so only used a few times. That won't mean **** and manny has an awkward style rather than using any southpaw skills. Why would Zab 'give up'? He is quicker and is one shot from victory the entire fight. Khan can't handle speed thats why he hasn't fought anyone with speed.
zab judah would be a mistake , salita was plain a simple a hyped up bum , judah for all his antics outside of the ring is 32 /33 years old and when he puts his mind to it can really really fight , i am glad he didnt come down to 140 and fight hatton as i think he would give ricky alot of touble , a dangerous southpaw who would match khans speed
I think that Khan has a good chance of stopping Zab. I remember but not sure Carlos Baldimir had Zab in all sorts of trouble and Baldimir was not a top tier world champ. Zab is a great fighter but I think his best days are behind him now whereas Amir has yet to peak. It would be a great scalp for the lad!
With names such as Castillo and Morales being mentioned, I'd bite your hand off for a Khan-Judah fight. Its actually a match-up I can get excited about, although I do agree that Khan would not get that much credit if he emerged triumphant. Just don't give us another Dmitri Salita, please.:deal
after the malignaggi fight he shud fight bradley, alexander or maybe ortiz after he blitz's nate campbell. not really to fussed about maidana TBH
cud be intresting. if khan can take his shots and weather an early storm i can see him breaking judah down and stopping him in ythe last 3rd of the fight
