    Hard to tell. I think it will depend on his performance.

    I say as a win for Khan with his chin labels Yes Maidana is the best win Khan had to dig deep in the end.

    From a pure boxing stand point i like the Paulie win. :good

    Yes...

    Judah WILL KO Khan.


    I hope Judah becomes a huge underdog so I can put some money on the KO.

    For me, yes. If Khan can beat Judah, this will be his best win.

    Personally, I think Judah has all the tools to beat Khan in this one. He honestly hasn't declined that much in the past few years and at 140, he's looking pretty damn sharp.

    Why would Roach fight someone like Judah. Marquez was the obvious choice for me. Marquez is slipping and is ready for the taking. (see the Katsidis fight)

    I would say MAB is the biggest name on his CV but i think Judah will be the biggest fight.MAB was years past his prime,and although Judah isnt prime he is still very ring savvy and Khan will have to work hard to stay on top of him.

    It could happen, I am thinking there could be an upset also.

    Khan looked awful in his last fight against a defensive southpaw and Judah is a lot better than McCloskey and even more elusive with Whitaker as his trainer.

    Could be worth a bet if the odds are good.

    Def Michael Meyers AKA Maidana who is the only human to ever get up from a liver shot and go the distance.

    Well said, Paulie's a good shout too. :thumbsup

    I think Khan doesn't get enough credit for his resume in general and how he's picked it up these last few years. He's still young and has already faced a good range of opponents from a slick, skilled pure boxer like Paulie, an excellent textbook fighter like Kotelnik, and a dangerous slugger in Maidana. Now he's got a slick, experienced southpaw in front of him with enough pop to make him pay. All of them were former or current beltholders.

    Each of them is so pure in their respective styles of fighting, and that'll help him out tremendously in the future when a guy like Bradley tries to change his tactics up mid-fight. That's something that rarely gets mentioned, but is important for any fighter's development.

    Judah fits in well with the rest of his recent resume and would be in his top tier of wins. I don't think he'll stick out clearly as THE best-frankly an argument can be made for a number of guys on it- but he's certainly one of Khan's most dangerous opponents and is a great test for Khan's development right now.

    Marcos Maidana would batter and stop Zab Judah.

    As a diplay of pure skill it has to be Malignaggi.

    Its really hard to good against a brawler like Maidana. Just look at Zab & Alexander against Matthsye.

    Khan jab was nearly perfect in that fight and his speed and combo accuracy was unbelievable!

    To beat a boxer like Paulie is a great task he may be feather fisted but the lad can box!
