If Manny lost to Sergio Martinez, suddenly you would see fans start to tsk tsk the legend of Pacquiao and call him a bum...

As far as Khan is concerned, Judah is all bark and no bite, talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk, and he’ll roll over when the going gets tough…

Judah’s actions explain Judah. He hypes himself up. He talks a great game. But against elite opposition, he falls short every time...

Zab Judah had a lot to prove Saturday night, and he succeeded in proving little. Khan's youth, height and reach were obstacles everyone knew Zab would have to overcome to win the fight. But Judah seemed to have nothing, no competitive spirit, not even, alas, pride. Zab may never have been the best of the best, as his record indicates, but on occasion he flirted with greatness. That, unfortunately, wasn't the case against Amir Khan...

Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah met on April 8, 2006, at the Thomas & Mack Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the IBF welterweight title. Mayweather was undefeated with a record of 35-0.

In his last fight, on July 23, 2011, Amir Khan fought Zab Judah at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas for the WBA/IBF junior welterweight titles. Khan was 25-1 at the time. Judah was 41-6. But both fighters had fought their way back from oblivion and everyone expected a competitive contest. But Khan was too young, too big, too confident, too assertive for Judah to contend with. Zab may have had a bad night. Amir, by contrast, had a very good night...
