Katsidis is Tyson!!

Black Shorts
Black Socks
His Stance
His Viciousness
Digging Hooks and Uppercuts.
The way he literally chased Mitchell across the ring throwing bombs.

He just plain and simple reminds me of Iron Mike in there. Sure he has more holes in his game than Mike had in his prime, but the blueprint is still there. He simply is awesome to watch and I actually think he is still getting better. He is starting to get some head movement going now.

There has to be some more of you that see what I see.

Let's just hope he doesn't get a part in the Hangover 2.

I was thinking the same, I am sure it is no coincidence he wears that attire.

The most famous black trunk fighter is john ruiz

Ruiz is twice the fighter tyson ever was hence the reason iron mike dodged him........TWICE

Yeah but he wore black shoes. Close enough.

More like Gatti with his great connection with the fans.

the way he eats punches means he's also more like Gatti than Tyson....So....when does he fight Khan? :D

Last time I looked Tyson was black and was a heavy weight. I wouldn't mind seeing kats munching on khan's ear though.

I still struggle with the idea that he lost to Juan Diaz. I'd take Katsidis everytime against Diaz.

same here

Put it down to inexperience

He`d own diaz in a rematch

Looking back on the Mitchell fight again, Tyson did not wear a Roamn/greek head gear, or a skirt.

Tyson is a funny looking Greek ,

There is definitely some similarity in the stances,lol, and seems like he's tryin to throw some movement into his game which is a good thing...for the diaz loss I don't know diaz is a tough dude, but kats' corner from what I remember was giving him some insane advice and telling him he was winning, he was much more tame than usual in that fight.

I actually wrote a preview for the first fight when I was writing for another site. I remember thinking Diaz would win but not being able to write Katsidis off. I'd perhaps change my stance on it after the weekend though. I too think Katsidis might just take Diaz now. Then again Diaz is better than Mitchell turned out to be!
