Woohooo! Khan Beat Judah! Now lets talk about his flaws as a fighter.

I agree with some of your criticsms of Khans technique and style. But what you're asking for is that every boxer needs to fight at the pure scientific level of Mayweather to compete at that level, and that's BS.

Don't get me wrong, I still dont think Khan has what it takes to come close to Mayweather, but you should realise, Khan fights with his style, which you may consider ameturish and poor technichally - but it works for him. Even pacman throws some crazy unorthodox **** with wierd balance and angles, but it works for him. That's why the Mayweathers can't understand why a guy like Pacman is so successful with the way he fights when it's so wrong in so many ways.

Now Khan isnt as talented or as exciting as Pacman, but he does a lot of things similar, with his speed and (unbalanced) movement.

Also, who else can he fight that will exploit his flaws. For me the only guys who could maybe expose the flaws khan makes are
1. Gurrero
2. Bradley

and at 147
1. Mayweather
2. Others who may be able to take a punch and land more on him?

That's not bad, considering he's not top 10 p4p yet.

Having said that, I do agree he could become top 5 p4p if he removes some of his flaws and improves on those areas you mentioned. One thing he will never have what flloyd has is natural ring intelligence and the ability to adapt and make adjustments mid fight. Although his heart might be bigger and his ability to walk through a storm to get where he wants to might allow him to rise to another level mid fight when faced with adversity.

We will have to wait and see who at 140 will challenge him

 

:deal

There are more factors involved in being successful at any sport than just being technically proficient. For example, in tennis, you can't be more technically flawed and inefficient than Rafael Nadal, but he's beaten more times than lost to Roger Federer, the most technically correct and greatest tennis player of all time.

Khan is extremely fast and has long range and reminds me alot of a young De La Hoya. He's not perfect, but few are or close to it. I think it's idiotic to only be a fan of one boxing style when plenty of styles have had success. Floyd is great not only because he is technically proficient, but he has speed and great reflexes. If he didn't have those physical attributes, he'd just be a younger version of Floyd Sr. and Roger Mayweather.

 

If we expected Khan to dominate Judah that thoroughly, then you must hold Khan in the same regard as a Floyd Mayweather. BTW, Khan dominated Judah in much better fashion than Mayweather did. Mayweather had just turned the tide and started winning rounds against Judah in the 5th... Khan stopped him there after a thorough domination.

I personally felt that Khan would win, but I thought Judah was going to give him problems along the way. Khan did much better than I expected.

 

So you managed to pick a heavy favorite to beat Zab Judah of all boxers?

Congratulations, well done sir.

 

Michigan Warrior is talking to himself again:-(

 

Khan's a good fighter, maybe the best at 140 right now. He doesn't look to me anywhere near as badass as a young ODLH, KT or Cotto at the weight, but he's damn good.

 

My next door neighbour is a massive ****.

 

The Judah of 2006 when he fought Floyd have been more dangerous.

 

I didn't say Khan was De La Hoya either. They do have similarities in body type and hand speed.

Even Oscar says Khan reminds him of his younger self.

 

Nobody is doubting that, but Judah also never won a fight of this magnitude, and Khan simply is the better boxer fundamentally, and matches up well with him stylistically.

Khan would've white-washed any version of Judah, and that's not to take away from Floyd, as everyone with the slightest intellect knows Floyd would of smoked Maidanas boots any day of the week.
