Katsidis is past it and Mitchell wont get much credit for beating him in a rematch..
Mitchell-Katsidis is like Khan-Precott.. Rematch isn't necessary at this stage.
Mitchell-Burns is the fight that should be next..

I think for Mitchell though if he could beats Burns, Katsidis still has the upper hand over Mitchell. It was a big defeat for Mitchell and weather Katsidis is on the slide or not for Mitchell I think mentally it would be a big win if he could stop him. Styles make fights and styliscally Mitchell - Katsidis is a good fight. If Mitchell is actually focused I think Mitchell can take Katsidis especially now that he is on the slide.
I understand your amir khan argument in relation to Mitchell - Burns however i think Khan - prescott should have happened in the short term post Khans victory not after Prescott has lost so many he has lost his credibility. Katsidis however still has the style to haunt Mitchell as proved in the first fight and I think if Mitchell could beat Burns in the immediate next fight he should take on Katsidis. Katsidis still has that winner over Mitchell and I just believe if they could ever fight again it would be a much better fight and Mitchell could nick it. I'm not against this rematch at the moment in time. If Katsidis fights in his next fight and loses badly I more than likely would be against Mitchell - Burns. It's all on Katsidis in his next outing, it's a big ask for him after the Burns loss, that would be a physcoligcal big blow and will take a lot to bounce back from. If he still has the hunger like we have seen in the past we all know he is a true force at 135, we will have to see though.
