    Two talented yet flawed fighters.

    Zab takes it though. Faster, more powerful, better chin, and yes better heart.

    99-2000 Zab knocks out Khan in 6 rounds I say.

    Haven't seen enough of the "new and improved" Amir yet.

    For now you have to go with Juah all the way.

    As of right now...Judah by KO 3....but Amir Khan is still just a puppy in boxing...3 years from now we might be laughing at the thought of Judah beating Khan..

    Judah would be favourite. Judah was about 10x better to watch too. And less unbearable in interviews even after the recent brain damage induced conversion to Jeeeesus.

    come on now... Zab Judah may be the most unlikeable non-rapist, non-murderer, non-pedophile who has ever lived

    Less heart? How the fuck does Khan have less heart than Judah?

    Every single time someone has cracked that china chin, Khan has demonstrated excellent heart. In all but one time he has got back to his feet and come out swinging; the other time he ended up turned turtle because he should have stayed down and didn't.

    Zab, by comparison, is a fucking mental midget with the heart of a gnat. To suggest he has more heart than Khan is ridiculous.

    Exactly. Well said Feebs. When the fuck has Amir ever shown a lack of heart? That is ridiculous

    Zab slices and dices Khan up early with three counter left uppercuts.

    I'd much rather see Zab in with somebody like Simon Brown though, that would make my day

    All you do is blindly back British fighters. As such you have zero credibility where they are concerned.

    Zab displayed PLENTY heart against both Floyd and Cotto. Also, Tszyu knocked him down and Zab tried to continue to the point of fighting the ref when Nady stopped it. So FUCK that little British hero of Pakistanis....

    Pakistani-Brits are the single greatest ethnic group on earth. That he can be Pakistani and still suck that much really testifies to his exceptional suckiness.

    All you do is back African-American fighters. Which is ironic considering you are British yourself. To question my credibility when you are confirmed racist is frankly absurd...:nono:

    Besides which, there are precious few, if any, decent 140lb-ers I'd pick Khan against at this point. This thread happens to pit Khan against one of the most useless, fragile, over-rated fighters of the last ten years as well as casting nonsensical aspertions about the heart of a multi-millionaire who got planted face first into the canvas and, instead of retiring to spend all his cash, moved himself to the US to try and improve and test himself against better fighters and is scheduled to face one of the most dangerous hitters in his weight-class in a couple of weeks time.

    Some heart... :dunno:

    You can call Khan chinny (he is) or say that his style is very robotic (it is) but you cannot possibly say he has no heart. It is his single most redeeming feature IMHO.

    Khan is soft. And when he finds himself in with another puncher, it'll be more apparent.

    Judah at least GOT UP when Tszyu cracked him.

    tszyu is a hall of fame type fighter. Can we say the same about prescott?

    Khoward has the height, reach and amatuer style to stay away and run from Judah.

    Consider it Judah vs Witter II.

    You're talking about chin, not heart. Khan did get up against Prescott.

    You are wasting your time mate. In a few weeks time if Khan wins handsomely, the same people will start talking about how overrated (by them) Maidana was and how Khan hasn't fought anybody good yet...

    Well go on then, explain to me how he has shown a lack of heart in any of his fights. Please go ahead.

    ^^^^Being soft is lacking in mental fortitude.

    The debate in this topic is whether Judah has more heart than Khan, which I say yes, being that he has proven it by hanging in there with guys like Cotto and Clottey. Khan in that situation would be ran out of the ring in his haste to avoid punishment. Hell, Khan probably wouldn't even get in the ring with those guys.

    He'd prefer picking on smaller fighters as he's done.

    I define 'heart' as the ability to come back from adversity & adapt in the ring. That's the only useful way to define it in terms of analysing fighters ability and predicting fights. Taking a beating isn't useful, you might as well quit & wander over the street to an S&M mistress if that's all you're gonna do.

    Judah clearly has ZERO heart. He has physical bravery and a significant ego/street thug wannabe attitude but no real boxing heart. As far as I can remember he's never made any significant adjustments under pressure and turned a really tough fight around.

    Khan showed good heart against Michael Gomez at least, but that's at a low level. Essentially Khan's heart is a '?'. I think it'll turn out to be OK, not great. Great heart includes having the brains to adapt in the ring and he barely has the brains to adapt to automatic doors.

    Getting knocked spark out against some C level guy doesn't tell us shit about his heart, IMO. But allot about his chin.
