It seems to me that Amir Khan has a lot more competition from Zab Judah than he really thinks. He has really avoided talking about Zab Judah, completely overlooking him. I am wondering if my man has even had a look at Zab's resume.
Firstly theres the fact that Zab is second choice and that screws with Khan's mentality. He thinks he deserves Bradley and he WAS hungry for Bradley but he does not seem as hungry for Judah as he is for Bradley's head. Khan seems to think that a win over Maidana cemented his status and also his invincibility at 140.
Fight fans will easily tell you that a focussed Zab Judah could outbox Maidana any day of the week. Marcos may be ranked higher than Zab but Zab's only been back at 140 for 3 fights and has already picked up a belt. He knocked Mabuza out in the 7th and has lasted the full twelve: that has to count for some kind of respect but I don't see anything from Khan on those terms.
And then theres the idea that Khan spars with Manny so he must KNOW all southpaws. Which is a complete fallacy because Zab fights in a completely different style to Manny. Zab is a more orthodox southpaw if you will but manny is fast and furious. Zab will use his defense more effectively than Manny would. I would REALLY like to know if Khan has decent sparring partners to prepare for Zab and who they are.
I apologise on behalf of all Amir Khan fans for his ignorance of Judah's resume....even if it turns out Khan is the superior boxer on Saturday night Zab Judah deserves more respect than he got.
Same time Zab should have done that HBO Face Off.
