Amir Kahn v Michael Katsidis

[Radical Rat]

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.

[S.W.F.C]

Not much more than Khan to be honest.

But Katsidis is a big puncher and would be too much for Khan to handle imo.

lol hush ya noise gimp.
Kahn is just starting his career you thick ****, 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 ?

[mgkirkpatrick]

haha the reference to katsidis not being able to put amonsot away is laughable when you consider the brain bleeds he gave him

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...

I dont think they are picking apart Khan only trying to keep it in perspective , your right Khan is a great prospect , but many are talking way above a prospect with 16 fights but calling out everyone , Khan looked great yesterday but Im telling you StClair is a feather with no power and way past his prime and Rocky mauled him like a dog a bone sparring , Khan should have took it to Gairy with the advantages he had , I couldnt believe Gairy was chasing as he is a backfoot defensive fighter , like I said great prospect but my jury is still out on Khan .

[Drunk Punch]

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.

I agree it was a slick performance .

I didnt mean he is calling out I ment his fans , he may turn out a great P4P down the track , I dont think so but he could be anything yet as he has huge potential , Im just saying the fighter he beat yesterday was not what the commentary was making out , he was brought over to loose and Gairy StClair of today should have been stopped by someone of Khans hype and size ,,, but I can also understand the views by many on Khans performance on face value of the fight , Im just going on the information I know about St Clair , I dont believe Khan did not try for a KO he just didnt pursue it , he tested the waters and decided to just box it out if it came it came if not who cares he was in his comfort zone ,, time will tell , my gut feeling is Khans wheels will fall off down the track , but I dont hate on him at all he is real good prospect .

Katsidis by KO. Khan is good but he is bieng over hype right now.

Current time this would be a close one, a KO by either Khan or Katsidis, much more likely Katsidis. Katsidis is open and Khan does have power, the only reason he didn't knock out St Clair is because he had to constantly penetrate the shell defence. Given another 3 progressively difficult opponents, Khan would be more likely to beat Katsidis in mid-2009 by KO.

Amir Kahn would piss himself
