Really think Khan would wipe the floor with Katsidis pretty easily and his skills and speed would be way too much.
Can see Khan stopping him mid way or maybe before as it goes.
One thing is nailed on if they do meet......... Katsidis face will look like he's tried shaving with a cheese grater after 5/6 rounds. ;)
Khan TKO.
This would generate a big interest in the US i reckon so well worth Khan going this route.
I agree. I'd heard he was in negotiations to fight Lamont Peterson a few weeks ago. That was the name that Khan has mentioned as an opponent. It's nailed on his next fight is in the UK, Manchester MEN was the last I'd heard. Personally, I think the Katsidis fight will do better business considering he beat Graham Earl and more recently destroyed Kevin Mitchell over here. The fact they were talking about Mitchell being on Khan's trail after he beat Prescott will also be a selling point as Katsidis put a stop to that. There will be criticisms that he is a lightweight but he's a pretty big lightweight. The truth is that the fight would be plenty more exciting than a Peterson fight because Katsidis constantly keeps coming. I can see Khan just moving, creating angles and peppering him with punches for a TKO in around 6.Quote:

Khan posted on his twitter page few days back that he is not and will not be fighting katsidis...
So aswell as ducking Kell Brook, he's also ducking Michael Katsidis. Joker. ;DQuote:

Sorry to rain on the parade as usual, but why should Khan be facing a 135 pound fighter that just got his arse kicked? I would imagine that there are better fights out there. How about a Maidana rematch? Or even a short wait until Bradley wins his next fight?
Katsidis, as much as I like him, is not a step forward right now.
A lot of speculation Lamont Peterson is going to sign up to fight Khan in April in the UK.
That's one fight I won't be paying Sky £15 for.
This fight would have been good if Katasidis did not just lost to JMM.
Khan needs to fight a live opponent at this weight, not a blown up light weight or a welter like Brooks but someone decent Hell why not JMM.
Sky will ignore that Katsidis lost his last fight and talk about how he has defeated out British fighters.
Khan says this fight will not happen and I dont want it to happen, Khan will smoke Katsidis he has just beat a bigger better version of him, Kats no his time at world level is on its last legs now and is looking to cash out.
Khan would KO Kats.
Khan won't go near Katsidis, Khan is not JMM and if he got hit by a similar left hook Amir Khan will end up in row 3! This fight will not happen and it will be Khan's people who will make sure it doesn't. To dangerous a fight for this over rated fighter.
LOL @ The Third Man...
Khan won't go near Katsidis after beating a bigger man, a bigger puncher and arguably one of the biggest punches P4P in the world? People moaned when he fought smaller fighters than himself, so he fights a legit LWW who can really bang but now he's dodging a smaller guy again? This is just ridiculous! When's the guy going to get the credit he deserves? When he starts beating guys twice his size with his shoe laces tied together?
Yep! Khan needs to do what Katsidis has done, get in the ring with A list world champions. In every fight Katsidis has lost against the those guys he was in a position to win, Khan V Katsidis would be a terrific fight, you need to fight the best if you want to be the best. Marquez took on Katsidis to see if he still had what it takes, he proved he did after taking a punch that would have Ko'd just about anybody else! Does Khan have bigger balls than Marquez?Quote:
