Katsidis vs Guerrero

[milmascaras1]

i'm a big fan of both fighters but i'm leaning more towards guerrero. i think this is a very difficult fight for guerrero because katsidis has no quit in him and i've noticed he's improved his boxing when he fought vicente escobedo. the way he tore escobedo up impressed me alot. but i think guerrero needs to used his boxing skills and get ready for very difficult battle. this fight will tell the boxing world if guerrero can handle swarming fighters like katsidis!

I can't help noticing that Katsidis name never gets mentioned as a possible foe for Amir Khan. Now why is that i wonder?

Probably because a win against Katsidis would net Khan neither

a) a wad load of money

b) credibility for taking on a dangerous opponent

so it would be a pointless fight. The names who've been linked with fighting him offer at least one of those. Katsidis offers neither.

You don't think Katsidis is a dangerous opponent for Khan? I say he KO's Khan inside 5 and they know it! Where does Khan come off demanding wad loads of money anyhow? He has a lot to prove before he gets a wad of anything.

No, he's not, he's an exciting fighter with a lot of heart, but Khan is too good for him & wouldn't fall into his trap of brawling. It would be a one-sided beatdown that would go on too long because of Kats' great heart & most people outside of Australia know it, hence why no one else wants to discuss it as a fight.

Khan demands money because he's a huge star in the UK. It's that simple. The reason HBO want a piece of him is because of how marketable he is, why do you think they don't give a fuck about Bradley, are fairly indifferent about Alexander, but are all over Ortiz & Khan despite their losses? Because they're charismatic, marketable young fighters, the other two aren't.

Khan is over rated mate, he hasnt fought anyone. Katsidis is more proven then what Khan is. Khan should fight Kats because he is dangerous to anyone, he will keep coming no matter what. He will put pressure on him all night and we will see if Khan can handle that risk of being knocked out in any round.

This is an interesting fight in the sense that you don't know what's going to happen when a fighter moves up in weight, especially against a fighter who uses his physicality for all it's worth like Kats.

Still we can all acknowledge that Ghost is a much better fighter, it's just a question of what he brings that night. Not trying to start a thing here but I don't understand why so many posters here are so moist for Kats. Sure he's a pressure fighter and that can be fun to watch. Still in his fight against the light hitting boxer style fighter Escobedo, Kats still had his cheek broke and had to win on guts alone.

Kats' style will catch up with him. Will it happen against Ghost? Not sure but the odds are good.

ummm Khan has actually won a title and is most likely gonna be fighting the guy who whooped that last 2 guys to kick Katsidis ass, so Khan/Katsidis really is a pointless fight, and if you know me you should know damn well im no Khan fan

I don't think Katsitis is more proven. He has proven that when he steps up he loses. If he fought Khan and loss it would just confirm the prior notion and there's be nothing to credit Khan for.

And in boxing it truly doesnt matter who you fight nowadays it matters the name you have and how much money and gate you generate. Khan fighting Marquez is the smartest business decision he can make. Khan could fight 5 hard fights at his weight class no one had heard of and be just no more credited or recognizable, but if he beats Marquez he has Barerra and Marquez on his resume, regardless on how he got it, and thats what the casual fan will look at and it will give them someone to watch stateside. Khan has to accomplish that before he has "hard fights" there's no point in having a hard fight and losing your prime before anyone outside of your country "knows" your name. We've seen it before, a fighter will have a spectacular prime elsewhere and a lot of non casual diehards will get behind them but they will remain relatively unknown to the casual fan, then the moment of truth comes and then when they finally come to national TV they are past it and don't look the same. Khan is doing the smart thing right now.

Since when has Khan ever been charismatic? He comes across as a bit of a dim witted, plonker to be honest. Now someone like Ali had charisma, but Amir Khan? I really don't think so.

Bradley is a fighter people should be taking note of because he's significantly better than all of them. I have a lot of time for Tim Bradley, though he does talk about god a little too much for my liking. He isn't very charismatic, but then I don't many boxers are particularly charismatic. He is very exciting to watch though, much more entertaining than Khan.

[Gandalf]

And I agree with the others that Khan is still relatively untested and that Katsidis would make a very good opponent. He is relentless and packs a punch, everything that Khan is purposely not matched up against. Katsidis likely stops Khan.

It appears to me that boxing fans in UK desperate to replace Hatton and Calzaghe who were true stars have jumped on board the Khan train way to early. I see Katsidis landing heavy punches early, very similar to Prescott with Khan tasting the canvas inside of 5 rounds. They have wanted nothing of Katsidis since his demolition of Earl. A big star in UK? Prove it against all comers, Katsidis is way to dangerous a fight for the Khan camp to consider and that's the truth of it.
I believe Katsidis will beat Guerrero and i hope he challenges Khan, the interest in both the UK and Australia is enormous and Katsidis is actually more well known in the US and respected than Khan is.

ummm completely disagree, Khan has yet to fight on US television and yet his name is brought up more often than Katsidis, and with all due respect dude, you said that Green was "The Man" cause he knocked out a shot old Roy Jones
