katsidis challenges pac

[mgkirkpatrick]

Dear Boxing Public,

Of late I have had the pleasure of being able to associate myself with that of the Phillipines champions. Since my fight with Amonsot and my affiliation with the Philippines side when I lead them to victory against Mexico in the world cup, I believe it has created a lot of interest, that day in Sacramento I stood in place of Manny Pacquiao who could not be present, the question is then raised, 'who is the greatest'. I am 'the Great' and that is the mark I wish to establish today in the world of boxing. I mean no disrespect and admire Manny Pacquiao, but there can only be one, and time will tell.

Michael Katsidis

Katsidis=overrated

exciting and has power like Gatti. Hes like another Gatti but worse. I love watching him fight tho.

[ßringer]

Katsidis, while entertaining, is not that talented overall. Not as talented as Pacquiao, therefore Pacquiao would steamroll him.

[mgkirkpatrick]

i havent heard anyone over rating him.. most people are saying what you are. great and exciting fighter missing a few skills.

[-AZZA-]

i would like him to beat pac and i think he can, just not yet

[Gato2012]

He could probably beat Pac. He is a lot bigger than Pac. Pac will not be as affective at 35 at all. Katsidis is a big, strong, natural 135 pounder. His style and Pacs style would make a head on collision. I think Katsidis size and power would win him the fight.

[SkillspayBills]

Pac man would smash him, that would have to be FOTY though.

[-AZZA-]

pacman has never had a fighter stand in front of him, willing to take everything he throws, willing to take his best shots just to land a few of his own, none stop attack for 12 rounds. a stronger guy imposing his will on him with no fear ...

[MJ406]

Is pacman even seriously considering moving up to 135? (or all speculation?)

cuz after Barrera (assuming Manny wins)... there's still a possible Marquez rematch, or even taking on the Soto-Guzman winner.

do you see Manny skipping the above and going to 135?

*didn't Juan Diaz show interest in a fight with Pacman as well. Juan does have to take care of business vs Julio in October for the time being.

[mgkirkpatrick]

there's so many great fights just waiting to happen around that weight. id give katsidis a chance against either guzman or pac moving up in weight. the best fight for the spectators would be juan diaz imo.. and im pretty sure they have a tentative agreement to make it happen soon.
