    Khan can make 135 lb

    since rose to 140, have fat in the abdomen. Whether that covers your abs. That means desir which gives the weight of 140 too easy. I believe that removing the fat with training would come to 135 without problems

    What do you think?

    He looks drained as it is, 147 would be ideal for him.

      No he can't, there was pictures from couple of days ago, him looking quite pudgy in training, love handles etc, he obviously had to lose a lot of water weight & dehydrate himself last night to make 140lb's.

        No, he's about ready to move to 147.

          Khan has outgrown the 135lb division, dropping back down would weaken him and really serves no purpose. The best match-ups are at 140, and at that weight he holds physical advantages against most opponents. Tomorrows fight should be a good indication of where Khan currently stands. Zab campaigned at 147lb for a few years with mixed results, before committing himself and dropping back to 140lb. I personally thing Khan is going to easily outpoint Judah, unless Jab sneaks in a KO punch. I think that the way to beat Khan is on the inside using dirty boxing, but its easier said then done.

            You guys don't seem to understand. The dude had love handles. If he tightened his mid section he'd probably make 135. Look at his 135 weigh in photos then his 140 weigh in photos. That "ripped" body he had at 135 is what he should have at 140 if he had really outgrown 135. Apparently he hasn't.

              i agree
              but hes at good shape at 140 too, he has abb definition, cut up arms, serratus etc so hes definetly not fat
              Maybe being that ripped at 135 makes him weaker, im unsure myself.

                Khan's in very good shape, but probably needs to move up to 147 soon. He looks like a guy struggling to lose weight. As for moving back down to 135, that's just a ridiculous proposition. Why was Khan knocked out against Prescott, but not Maidana? Simply because he wasn't having to strip his body to 1-3% body fat just to make weight. A little bit of fat isn't necessarily a bad thing. It shows Khan is comfortable and ready for a higher weight class. A bigger fat percentage may even improve his strength and punch resistance.

                Khan is fine.

                  This. I'd assume that's why he got torched by Presscott. He's looked much sturdier at 140lbs. By all means, he SHOULD cruise to a wide UD against Zab. That being said, I don't WANT him to win.
