Comments Thread For: Katsidis's Adviser: Michael Will Knock Amir Khan Out!

[Vadrigar.]

In most cases Khan has fought smaller men that suit him down to the ground and there is no question his record is padded with cherry picked smaller walkover type fighters. Katsidis is a lightweight but a big lightweight that can easily fight at LWW. It was very noticeable in the Mitchell fight how much bigger Katsidis was. In this case I feel that despite Katsidis being a lightweight and shorter he brings more than enough to the table to make this a credible fight. In fact IMO this will be the most dangerous fight Khan has taken. That is not saying a lot but this is a far more dangerous fight than Malignaggi

would you give him credit for beating him, if the fight was @ 140?

should khan deserve credit for fighting a lightweight?

This is the wrong question. Khan was a lightweight himself a year ago and five pounds between then and now equates to four fifths of **** all. Should he deserve credit for fighting a tough pressure fighter is the question, and the answer is yes. Should Kats get credit for fighting a super fast albeit fragile boxing prodigy? The answer is yes. It's a great fight.

No question. IMO this will be Khan's FIRST competitive fight . One where it is not a forgone conclusion that Khan would be the winner. Most of Khan's fights if not all have been canned and he deserves contempt for that but this fight does not fall into that category. If he ever gets round to taking on the likes of Ortiz,Maidana,Alexander or Bradley he will need fights like this otherwise he will be slaughtered. The likes of Salita ,Kotelnik and Malignaggi won't prepare him for taking on the best guys.

Dam right he should Katsidis is a beast, and f**ked up mitchell with easy.. Khan has has not long been a jww himself, and katsidis always looks a very stocky lww to me he could easily move up a weight and be fine..

LMAO at the ******s that claim Katsidis is the "smaller" fighter.

The guy has had as many fights at 140lb as Khan. Go look it up on boxrec!

If Khan fought Prescott he would be fighting a Lightweight

So it's not a big deal to me. I just want to see him tested more

From Boxrec
Katsidis height 5′ 7″ / 170cm reach 66″ / 168cm

Khan height 5′ 10″ / 178cm reach 71″ / 180cm

They have both fought at LWW although Katsidis is a lightweight but there is no question Khan has the height and reach advantage.
