Who wins this fight?
With Kahn saying he's ready for a shot at the world title and the WBO being the organisation Frank Warren prefers I can see this fight happening soon.
I say Khan is nowhere near ready and gets brutally KO'd in 4 rounds.
I can see both winning, but it wouldn't suprise me if Katsidis got outboxed.
Actually, maybe it would.
Fuck it, I don't know what my opinion is. Fuck off.
Where have all your points gone? Did you become a BS philanthropist and donate them to your fellow posters?
lets all recognize that the Earl who fought Khan was completely weakened after that all out beating he took from Katsidis. Katsidis/Khan would be a good matchup.

i was at the kahn vs st claire fight and i have to say khan is fast, not extremely fast, but good enough to keep katsidis off him i feel. khan is also not very wasteful. he was accurate as hell, and each fight he seems fitter. i mean katsidis didn't look good agaisnt his last guy who took him to 12 (i forgot his name).
i think katsidis would have to ko khan to win. khan can outbox him i feel in 1 years time if he improves at the rate he has done.
lol hush ya noise gimp.
Kahn is just starting his career you thick cunt, how much more do you want Kahn do to at 21 ? Katsidis is 27, should Kahn have a better resume than him at this stage of his career ?
People are saying Khan is ready for a title fight so I am comparing him against one of the champs albeit an interim champ.
It's not about who's resume is better at 21, it's about who wins the fight and me along with over 50% who posted on this thread believe Katsidids will win.
Oh and, you're obviously a wealth of knowledge and intellect aren't you? using language like that!!!
Khan seems like a good fighter but he is a very young 21 year old.
I mean Tyson at 21 was young but in prime form but Khan should get out of the hype business, stay low in the media and fight some good fighters over the next 2 to 3 years and then hype it up again and go to Las Vegas to show what he is capable of.
Just my opinion but I thought Khan put on a near masterful display against a durable and decent opponent in St Clair. His most impressive performance yet for me. The kid can box.
You are right about perspective though, it just seems some people can't wait to see his career over before it's even started. I think Khan has been careful who he's 'called out'. Yes, he's had a pop at some of the British fighters that want a payday against him, he knows he's already above that level, but I haven't heard him calling out Juan Diaz or Guzman or even Katsidis.
It seems people can't wait to pick apart Khan even though his career is only just begining. 16 fights and 21 years old.
I don't think he's ready for Katsidis yet, but by the end of this year, maybe. Diaz is another matter...
Not much more than Khan to be honest.
But Katsidis is a big puncher and would be too much for Khan to handle imo.

Katsidis would maul Khan IF Amir stood in the pocket which he wouldn't do. Khan's the better fighter with regards to his movement, ring smarts and hand speed. He could stand off him and box his way to a UD, if he gave in to pride and tried to trade he'd get KO'd.
That's how I see it going down as well. If Katsidis traps him, he will punch Khan's face clean off.
Katsidis is the biggest puncher in the division and Khan has a glass jaw.
Katsidis fought Earl when he still had some gas left. Earl punch resistance had been weakend by Katsidis for Khan.
That Phillipino fighter stood right in front of him and avoided a KO, even though he'd been stopped twice. Katsisdis' power is overrated and Khan doesn't necessarily have a glass jaw.

Khan is alot better than Katsidis. He just is.
Katsidis is exciting, but Khan should beat him. That's my honest assessment. Katsidis is pretty crude and easy to hit. Khan holds all the advantages. He could beat him now.
Juan Diaz would ruin Khan if they fought now.
I'd be pleased if Khan fights Romanov next. His career is progressing nicely. I don't see the need to criticise him.
khan is still a little green but he is good enough to KO katsidis. the only fighter he isn't ready for is Juan Diaz. I see Khan and Diaz having epic fights if they ever meet but hopefully Khan waits atleast another 2 years and 6 fights before he faces him.
i'd give khan a shot at beating katsidis in 3 fights time, assuming he continues to step up his level of opposition.
i'll be impressed if Warren puts khan in with romanov next - a full-blown experienced lightweight, who isn't shot and has decent punch
Juan Diaz holds the WBO,WBA and IBF and David Diaz holds the WBC.
Micheal Katsidis holds the WBO interim and Joel Casamoyor holds the WBC interim.
What a mess ;p;.
