Comments Thread For: Khan Wants Revenge For Mitchell, Eyes Katsidis Clash

Fight a 140 Pounder man.

Yep the mention of height in that post more related to his reach advantage, what with taller fighters usually having a longer reach. He has like a 5 inch reach advantage, so the height will help his style. Not necessarily. It all depends whether Katsides has the head movement and timing to counter Khan's jab and get inside. A lot of the ATGs were short for their weight class and had short reach. It just means they have to know how to get inside in order to be effective. Dwight Muhammad Qawi was only 5′ 5½" tall and his reach of 71" was the same as Khan's, but he was an ATG Light Heavyweight, and most of his opponents were far taller than him and had much greater reach than him. Tyson was very short for a Heavyweight but is an ATG. Hatton was far from being an ATG but he still ruled the Jr Welterweight division for nearly four years, despite having a reach of only 65″, which is less than Katsidis' reach of 66".

he needs to fight maidana next or a rematch with prescott those are his only two options

Prediction: AMIR Khan will not be back in the ring within two months to face Kevin Mitchell’s conqueror, Michael Katsidis

@Dave Rado... Khan cannot fight Maidana in July like he wants. Maidana is sidelined due to an injury, so he wants to fight somebody else first. Can't blame him for wanting to make a living...

Really? I thought Kats was a career lightweight? I saw him fight in Sydney about 5 or 6 years ago, and he was a lightweight then. See here. He's had quite a few fights above 135. Yep, Amir looks way taller, and he must have a large reach advantage as well. Boxing has weight classes, not height classes.

Kastidis fights at 135 so he'll have to move UP to 140 to fight Khan. Didn't Khan say he'll fight Maidana? He's already making excuses why he wants to fight someone else? Give me a break. Fight Maidana and shut up already or you're ducking the man. I still don't think he'll fight Maidana. Roach knows that Maidana will KO Khan with one shot.. Khan could be dominating Maidana all fight but there is always that one shot that will KO Khan and Roach knows this. Yet another poster who can't be bothered to read what the article said before posting about it. :wtf: Give me a friggin break! Khan is a big ass LWW....and he's a so called Champion. Its time he fought top fighters in that division. Stop playing games...."I want revenge." Paulie is a true 140lb fighter and he looked small compared to Khan. Fight Bradley, Alexander or Judah....this is the same dude with so called aspirations of fighting the "Mannys and Floyd's" And another one! Is everyone in this forum incapable of reading? Lets see, he's bigger, younger, and Katsidis is not even rated as a Jr, welter. Sounds like a bitch move to me. Whats wrong with Alexander or Bradley? And yet another poster who didn't bother read the article! Incredible.

I would love to see Katsidis knock Khan out it would be funny, If its in the UK i will go and watch would be supporting Katsidis.

If Kats can crowd him and get inside with Tyson like head movement he can fukk him up!

Hey, if Mitchell defeated Prescott and rubbed it in Khans face, then why cant Khan do the same?

Fighting on leas than 3 months rest he isn't going to fight Maidana cuz he's injured Alexander has a July date on HBo set in St Louis and Bradley has July 21 set also. If Khan wants to fight in England before thw holy month of Ramadan in his backyard vs Katsidas or Prescott great. Late in the year he better fight 1 of the top 3 at 140. this. exactly.

Man, a lot of people are seriously underrating Kats. He's a tougher fight than Maidana for me. I have him beating Khan.

rather see Kat in there with the JMM-Diaz winner....those 2 BRAVE MEXICAN warriors and Kat make for a FOTY type fight....while Khan will BOX the undersized Kat ears off while using ALL the real estate the ring has to offer....if you put Kat against a boxer like Khan then you don't get the full value of Mike Katsidas....I like this dude and a fight with Khan wouldn't allow him to be the GLADIATOR he is because Khan will be on the move.....sounds selfish but it is what it is!!...Khan-Presscott sounds better imo

It's not a big difference. All these weight classes are redick. Khan is a big guy at 140 but he isn't even much bigger that Micheal at 135. People put way too much stock into these super/light divisions. A scrap is a scrap and this is far from a bitch move from Khan, it's a good fight. I completely agree. Five pounds carries no weight in the argument. But it won't happen because Katsidis is focused on the lightweight division. I think he's got more opportunities for domination there than at 140. I think much depends on what happens with Marquez-Diaz 2 as far as Kats is concerned. We'll see.

katsidis is strong and tough. but i don't think he has the speed, skills, or reach to beat khan. he might make it entertaining with his determination though. and khan might not be as brave as he was w/ 5KO paulie. he would just hope to land something big. id pick khan all the way. but it would be a decent show.

Con can make me a believer if he fights Katsidis and beats him justly, not by some phony stoppage or headbutt cut.

Khan vs Katsidis and Ortiz vs Guzman on the undercard

I don't like this idea, both these guys have plenty of business to deal with in their own divisions... Khan talks too much

AMIR Khan could be back in the ring within two months to face Kevin Mitchell’s conqueror, Michael Katsidis. Click Here To Read More] Why? Just because he wasted a Brit? He should be looking at his own weight class, besides, Katsidis would KO Khan imo.
