First of all, i am a Khan fan, 100% i love Amir khan and i have rooted for him in every single fight he has had thus far. However, i have also seen katsidis fight on many occasions, and this dude is a monster. Win or lose, katsidis will take you to hell and back before he falls down. Khan is looking to fight katsidis in his home coming fight in April according to skysports.com. If this fight takes place, im just worried that katsidis will stop khan without any problems.
i am not doubting Khands boxing ability, i was impressed with his victory over maindana, but Katsidis is better than maindana, a bigger katsidids (Light welter) is a stronger katsidis. I cant see Khan beating Katsidis if they fight. He will catch khan with a shot that will floor Khan.
Too much of a physical advantage for khan, katsidis is technically as good as maidana, maybe even better. But is way too short, he needs to get inside to get his shots off and doesn't have the type of chin needed to get inside on khan, and when he does he will most likely be hitting arms and then khan will use his legs to move away. Khan is actually pretty physically strong for 140 lber, when it came to pushing, manoeuvring his opponent khan held his own with maidana in that aspect. Like I said just way too much speed and reach for khan, and I think katsidis will struggle with his power way more than maidana did.
lol... Khan is too big , too strong , too fast , and has far better boxing skillz than Katsidis...
It would be a complete mismatch .. Khan ko kat in 4...
Katsidis is not better than Maidana. How has he proved that? Name me one Katsidis performance that's better than Maidana's win over Ortiz or his close loss to Kotelnik? For all his guts and heart, in reality, Katsidis is little more than a b-class operator with decent power. His record just doesn't justify any greater level of opinion for him. Maidana would stop him.
Khan doesnt have a defence for ****, sure is quick and has good reflexes..but katsidis will catch him, HE ALWAYS catches his opponent at least once during the fight. That is all he will need in order for khan to get knocked out.
Good logic because of Khan's China chin and spotty defense and stamina. Khan will most likely get KTFO eventually (again) sooner or later. If it ain't Katsidis who does the honors, it will be some other puncher in the future.
I scoff at the idea of him even mentioning Pac as a possible opponent because of their sparring experience together...lol. In a real fight his china would get smashed to bits. He even mentions Floyd and I think this would be the first KO W for Floyd since Hatton 3 years ago. He's not ready for p4p #1 & 2. Nah he better get that delusional notion out of his head or he'll end up damaged goods in his young prime. That Maidana survival fight should serve as a reality check even if he rose again and got over that demolition he suffered at the heavy hands of Prescott.
If a washed up Barrera, that light fisted loudmouth bum Malignaggi & caveman Maidana are the best victims he's got, it's not enough to make him and his fans think that he could take on anybody. He's far from complete and he would get destroyed.
So I agree that Katsidis would be a very dangerous fight for him but Khan's got balls for sure for taking him on.
No way. He'd get outclassed and stopped. Kats is too one dimensional. JMM is much smaller than Khan. Kats would be at the end of Khan's jab all night and that would open up combos. Just an ugly fight for Kats.

c'mon man. c'mon.
I'm at Kats fan and Khan is way taller, has bigger reach and can/will run for 12.
Kats has abit more than a punchers chance but by a little. Needs to stay at 130-135 and get some titles. Unless he looking for a big pay day before retiring.

At 135 maybe. But not at 140. Khan is too fast for Katsidis.
i dont think katdsidis punches any harder than maidana,and probably doesnt take a shot aswell as maidana does.
he would be going up weight aswell!.
i would how ever love to see maidana vs katsidis.now that would be a good fight!.
ide rather katsidis get soem kind of world title at lightweight though first.
None of this guys knows how to cut off the ring effectively, All they do is follow you about like an egytian mummy, If they can cut off the ring and keep on Khan's moving toes then they would beat Khan.
Oh dear.....Katsidis and especially his team need to start looking out for his health - this man has taken some serious beatings even in victory.
Khan would obliterate him simples.
it'll be a bit like maidana fight, but khan is too big for kats I feel...
it be a good test for khan, but I didn't think he's fancy another chin test after maidana..??
