Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I May Have To Dig Deep With Zab Judah

[Rome-By-Ko]

Khan wants to fight the best out there and right now Zab is focus right now about scoring an upset. I give Amir credit for wanting to fight the best I am glad that Amir is fighting Zab than Bradley. If he would have fought Tim it would have ended in a head butt .I really don't like to watch a fighter that uses his head when he punches or has like five head butts in his last five fights not good at all.

So you must not like the fighter in ya avi,he is constantly in clashes of heads..

Khan shouldn't have too much trouble dominating Judah, and then should be ready to take a step up in class. Bradley is a boring fighter, but Khan will have a very tough time beating him.

One thing Khan needs to do is stop the David Haye style "I'm going to win everything and retire young!" boasting when he (like Haye) has yet to beat anyone of note.

hats off to hbo for giving us haye/klit pwill/lara and judah/khan all for free!

In my opinion, its won or lost in the first 5 rounds. If Khan can keep on top of Judah in the beginning... Then hes won it. As Judah always seems to go sleep in the closing rounds, like when Matthysse gave him serious problems and had Judah running at the end of the fight.

where have you been? Bradley basically admitted he ducked Khan. . . He wants NOTHING to do with khan. he's not confident he can beat khan, because if he was, he would have NO PROBLEM taking a 50/50 cut against Khan (who will be responsible for 90% of the damn revenue). . . HOWEVER, he has his eyes set on Pacquiao, and he knows that since he can't draw **** to flies, if he loses against Khan, his shot at Pac in the near future is GONE.

There is no getting around it - if Bradley was confident in beating Khan, why wouldn't he pick up that 2-3 million (total with UK revenue - him getting 50/50 revenue split from UK is RIDICULOUSLY generous) FIRST, and then have a GUARANTEED shot at Pac? NO, he would rather take his guaranteed 7 figures against another dude like agbregu, and then just HOPE arum gives him the pac fight. . .

Anyway, Judah is better than Bradley. amir KING KHAN takes the most risks of ANY of the guys who have drawing power like him. He wouldn't have had to fight Maidana, or Judah to make that balling ass ARAB MONEY (busta rhymes feat. p-diddy song)

i am english and i have to say(again) khan is a looooooooooong way off from being anywhere near the top ten fighters in the world.
his dellusions of beating fmj or anybody in the "real elite" class are an absolute joke to put it mildly.
all i have seen since joining the over rated freddie roach is the ability to be patient but, still shows a massive amount of ameteur skill about his work.
the only other thing i have seen since the change in basecamp is his weight gain thanks to mr alex "up my sleeve" ariza.
he had a close shave against maidana and fair play to freddie roach for saying afterwards that he was about to pull him out of the fight because he was finished.
zab judah is far far quicker than maidana and has vicous ko power in either hand.
zab judah will go for him straight away i think and catch him early for an easy nights work.
[piece of piss]
FOR YOUR INFO:::TWO FIGHTERS KHAN NEEDS TO GET PAST HERE IN ENGLAND FIRST BEFORE GAINING EVEN OUR ACKNOLEDGEMENT OF HIS TALENT ARE AS FOLLOWS.....KEVIN MITCHELL AND KELL BROOK.
either of these fighters would ko khan with considerable ease.
lets not forget any time soon that khan was blasted out in 54 seconds and kevin mitchell battered him after that easily.
kell brook on the other hand is a reincarnation of naseem hamed.
maidana is the only name on khans card with any credibilty at all.
whilst i see judah winning by ko, i remain convinced that even id khan wins he will be held in no higher regard as judah has been beaten by sparring partners and journeymen so it will not project him to superstar status.
its really ****** that even the british press hail this **** as some kind of "superstar".....hes a ****.

the gospel!
will u marry me!

Don't really get how you can hate Khan, it's obvious he wants to fight the best out there. The fight with Bradley didn't come off because Bradley was having issues with his promoter or whatever, so Khan goes after Guerrero or Judah. He gets the next best fight at 140 against Judah, still a unification fight.

Regarding whether it's a result of Khan's "boasting" being the reason he gets alot of detractors, I've never viewed it like that. Watching him in interviews, it seems he gets a bit over-excited with what he could potentially achieve in boxing. It dosen't seem like arrogance, it seems like a kid excited about fighting this and that guy, and hoping to beat them.

The fight is genuinely a sit on the fence fight for me. Judah does have a tricky style, and the ability to knock Khan out. However I'm going for Khan by TKO around the 10th.

if u dont think he arrogant......
1)check out his driving conviction history when he was newly pro - kid bought fast cars and drove around like mario andretti believing he was allowed to do what he liked
2) check out how some of his 'team' (a.k.a. hangers on ) give it the big I am ....direct quote from a twitter profile 'lifestyle flasshhhhyyyy' ....yeah...real modest kid.

dude khan is not arrogant in a bad way at all. driving convictions? LOL hell so i guess im an arrogant SOB because I got like 6 tickets back when I had my sooby WRX. . . fast cars are fun - it happens!

his team does seem kinda shady with money grubbing tendencies. . . as long as they are looking out for khan i could CARE LESS what his team does - they aren't the ones i support in that ring. . .

all the criticism and hate he gets from his own countrymen has probably made him feel the need to be a little arrogant. you guys couldn't even support him after that one fluke KO loss. . . seriously, england, you guys don't know what u got in Amir. . .

[UglyPug]

actually i won't generalize all english fans for not giving khan the respect he deserves. . . england has some very very good pugilists right now. . . Maybe im missing something but i don't see khan as some arrogant prick. the dude seems truly GRATEFUL to be where he's at. . .

[F l i c k e r]

Which is why this fight is the best fight made in a very long while.

Since Williams-Martinez, has a fight ever looked this good.

Froch-Ward will look good too but that isn't until later.
