Will Khan vs Judah, be a poor mans version of De La Hoya vs Whitaker?

    Correction, it's Floyd and Pacquaio's physical "and mental" game that sets them apart.

      Everytime he fights I hear the same recycled nonsense, and when he loses, it goes away for a while, then comes back up again when he has another fight.

      It's ridiculous.

      Fact of the matter is he really isn't that good.
      Of course, but I think people cling on Zab because they want him to be a good fighter. I was guilty of that aswell. I always looked at Judah like the little kid in the ****** who was really smart, but had problems at home and ended up joining a gang and never lived up to his potential. You can easily tell him apart from the other people in the group. People want to see Zab become a good fighter. I was the same way until around 2005 or so when I realized the kid doesn't want to change.

      Some people haven't lost hope yet I suppose.

        Stamina is a very physical thing,but I agree.

          There's nothing wrong with not losing hope though.

            Who's bothered about that?

            What bothers me is people are out of touch with reality.

            And overrate someone to an extent where they create myths about them when the fact of the matter is Zab Judah simply isn't what you and many others are saying he is.

                  Judah has a chance early on due to how vulnerable Khan is when he opens up on the front foot.

                  Still, the problem there is that Judah basically looks for single, bit shots. He is going to have to severely hurt Khan. Even then, it won't be that easy as I suspect nothing short of Khan laid out completely will get the fight stopped.

                      For Floyd I would say Hatton was the last guy he fought who had good stamina..Cortez just did not let that kid fight his fight(which was to say let him fight dirty)..Pac's was JMM he has some of the best stamina in the game,not to mention his skill level...
