    I personally think Judah is a class act!! The guy is a dangerous fighter and a huge underachiver which is very sad in my opinion!! I think he beats Amir so I hope he doesn't take the fight!! Judah is a serious puncher and is also very slick..

    Big NO NO for Amir this fight...:-(

    If Judah wants a big pay day and to finally win a world title again he should face him. Although I have no doubt Khan would take him apart inside the distance.

    He's not that dangerous because he don't have the timing he once had, nor the speed or workrate either. I can't really see him even catching Khan clean and if he does I wouldn't worry.... I think he's punch resistance is alot better up at light welterweight, aswell as he's survival skills too.

    Ben gotta agree mate. Judah was superb 4-5 years ago but he's done nothing of any note since and I like the way Khan has come up. I alwats wondered whether he'd take shots better off a 140lber and I still think he will be able too. Roach has gona back to basics with him which he could afford to do with Khans natural speed.

    I think Khan will face Maidana this Spring and then eventually split with Warren and we;ll see Khan vs Hatton in the summer. I feel for Warren as nobody, NOBODY in the world would have had the nounce to get Khan to where he is now this quick after the Prescott defeat and Khan seems to be ****ing him off now he's got where he wants to.

    For the record I think Khan will seriously hurt Hatton so I hope it doesn't happen. Khan isn't as big'a puncher as Pacquiao so I see Hatton taking a prolonged beating which in his state is the last thing he needs.

    A motivated Judah is a tough fight for anyone!! Just ask Cotto or Clottey. They both had life and death struggles with him I agree he ain't what he was 4-5 years ago BUT he only loses intrest when someone absorbs his best shots ala Cotto,Tyszu,Clottey and Baldamoir etc etc.. He simply wasn't good enough against Mayweather, I think if he hits Amir flush he knocks him out.. Sorry guys just my opinion..;)

    What about Judah's weight? he ain't fought at light welter for about six years! He says he can make it though.

    I can't see Zab getting passed Khan's jab. Oh look I'm poet! :happy

    Tony I know what your saying even though I disagree.

    It wont matter anyway because i'd be very very suprised if it materialises.

    Yeah, the Hatton fight looks more likely than ever. even if he don't face Hatton I reckon he'll go after the winner of Urango-Alexander or Tim Bradley (assuming Hatton don't face one of them instead of course)

    Khan is a bigger name now that Judah.

    Judah is not an underachiver.
    You saw his limitations against Witter and Baldomir.
    He looks good for 4 rounds against great fighters occasionally.
    This is because his basically sprints through those rounds.
    This makes him appear better than he is.

    It is remarkable he managed to KO Spinks.

    He is an overachiver, a better version of Vivian Harris.


    The fight doesn't make sense for Khan, as Judah is dangerous for a fighter with average punch resistance.
