Is Khan Fast Becoming The British Zab Judah?

Lol almost... Another loss and I would definitely put him in

Judah once was the undisputed champ at WW, So it's not like he didn't achieve anything... Khan hasn't come close to that yet.

I doubt Khan ever wins a Ring title.

Since he became a world champ Khan has only lost one fight clearly and that's the Garcia fight. A lot of people had Khan beating Peterson, even with the point deductions and bent referee and judges.. in hindsight we can't even count that as a loss because Peterson admitted he was cheating during that fight. One of the sanctioning bodies gave Khan his title back after that news was uncovered, but the other one (IBF) didn't, which is why that's still recorded as a loss, but no one actually counts it as a loss because of the extenuating circumstances.

It's an interesting comparison with Judah, I can see why you make it and I'd say that Khan is at risk of becoming a similar sort of fighter if he tries to put on too much of a show and act tough instead of behave smart and forget about the crowd. He could go down the same path as Judah, or he could mature and become a totally different sort of fighter. Time will tell.

Also, let's see Khan at 147? That's where 5 of Judah's 7 losses come from.

This was against prime fighters Spinks, Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey, Baldomir. Let's be real, how many active fighters go through those 5 fighters at 147 without a loss or two, at the time Zab fought them? The clowns will make fun of Baldomir of course, but will ignore that he was undefeated from 1999-2006, 8 years, 21-0. Despite that impressive run, Baldomir is the weakest one of the bunch.

I hate to say it but it looks like Khan is following into the footsteps of Zab Judah, I remember once there was a thread very similar to this in which there was a poll and almost everyone said that Khan will achieve more than Judah in his career I think that might now be proven wrong.

Khan has half as many fights as Judah and half as many losses as Judah, He doesnt quit like Judah but he gets wreckless and starts slugging it out when he clearly does not have Marvin Hagler like whiskers.

Judah lost all of his big fights, Khan lost his biggest fight to Garcia which should have been for the WBA/WBC/IBF/RING he might get a rematch, he might even win the rematch. To think that Khan was going to fight Guerrero instead of Judah makes you think considering what Guerrero did to Berto.

So my fear is Khan is just going to end up being a "name" that gets constant world title fights and wins some and looses some (avoidable losses).

Hard Boiled, When a die hard Khan fan like you start writing posts like this you know something is very very wrong with Khan. It was not long ago you compared Khan to Diago Corrales

I saw the flaws in Khan long ago and was not surprised by how things turned out. Personally I think it is all a too late for Hunter to fix him and he will do well against moderate opposition but in the big fights will come up short more often than not.He will beat the Molinas of the world but if he rematches Garcia I see him being KOd again,Bradley will beat him, Ortiz is 50 50 as is Peterson and Brook.

I think that Khan is not going to reach Judah's levels and really will be a poor man's version of him.

Hell no, Garcia was not his biggest fight. That was seen as an easy tuneup at the time. Maidana and Kotelnyk were his biggest fights. Even Kha's Judah fight was bigger than the Garcia fight.
