Scharfer wants to make Khan Katsidis in July

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Khan won't fight Katsidis under any circumstances, if he does he will be fasting well before Ramadan begins, eating through a straw!

Thats a sig bet I would take.

My bet is Khan's people will want nothing to do with Katsidis.

I may even enter a sig bet on Katsidis ko'g Khan.

[Hornfinger]

It's quite obvious that this was going to happen after the respective performances at the weekend. Kats would be a nightmere for khan. I personally think Khan will go for marquez next. Juan is on the slide. He's not getting any younger he's been out the ring for a while and he lost 12 long hard rounds to mayweather. AND he's not a huge puncher.

It's possible for khan to beat Kats. I just don't think he'll be able to stay aay from him and keep him off for 12 rounds.

[Pugilistic]

Katsidis would be a tough fight for Khan. I don't think having to move up weight would make a difference either as he's a big guy.

That being said, Khan would be better off fighting someone like Maidana who is part of the same division.

I personally think Kats is better than Maidana but Kats having to move up will take some credit of Khan's win where Maidana is natural at the weight and he has alot of hype surrounding him just now.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Khan V Katsidis would be enormous financial value for both fighters. Katsidis is known in England and has probably built a following there himself. I also believe Khan has more to lose than the little K man if this fight takes place. My bet is it won't!

[Kirkland Laing]

Katsidis would want a ton of dough to srop his WBO interim slot and move up in weight to fight a bigger faster guy. If it's going to be in England in July much easier to make the Prescott fight, it would sell out an arena and Khan Promotions would only have to pay him buttons compared to a Katsidis purse. The telly would want it too.

I like Kats a lot, but with his inability to deal with quick jabs and his short arms, I give him next to no shot. Can't blame Khan's handlers for doing this, it would be another good name on his resume.

Apart from the hardcore Khan critics on this forum who insist he must avenge this loss I really think most would rather see Khan take on Katsidis.

It's a great fight, Katsidis is 2-0 against British fighters and has already twice fought on HBO. He's a big name and the average fightfan would much rather see Khan vs Kats I imagine.

I actually think Katsidis will be back in the UK soon regardless. If he doesn't fight Amir then John Murray must be an attractive opportunity.

I reckon Kats probably makes more far money fighting overseas than he does in Towoomba which is why he is is always fighting either over her or in the US.

I can see him fighting Khan or Murray before the year is out.

Exactly. Almost nobody, myself included, gives a shit about Khan fighting Prescott. Khan has improved dramatically, while Prescotts has been exposed. I doubt Khan would have any trouble with him at this point. He'd probably knock him out by the halfway point of the fight.

[Gandalf]

A fighter should always try to avenge his losses though, people respect Lewis more for doing that. Prescott has shown himself to be a very limited fighter since, but he still holds that trump card. I think a Katsidis fight would be quite fun too and if it's to happen as soon as July then it's all good.

I agree most people would rather see Khan vs. Katsidis but I don't see it being an easy fight to make and neither guy is going to want a fight like that with six weeks to prepare. I don't think Khan will fight somebody like Katsidis or Maidana at such short notice. Prescott would be cheap, a much easier fight and would sell a lot of tickets to Khan bandwagon fans due to their previous fight. Could be wrong though.

[C-Lo]

Khan will show some real balls if he takes this fight. Katsidis has no quit in him and he stalks HARD! It will be an interesting fight. It will be either the end or coming out party for Khan's career IMO.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I can see Katisidis doing his best Captain Kirk impersonation right now, waking in the middle of the night screaming KHAAAAAAAAAAN

[mickel]

kinda fight that could go either way. could be a barn burner, could be a bore fest with khan just smacking him around, cutting him up..?

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

This is a tough call for me. Khan has some pop and speed... He is a technically well schooled fighter as well... Then you have Katsidis who applies hellacious presure and punches nonstop. That'd be alot for Khan to deal with and it's tough to keep Katsidis at the end of a jab. Khan can bang, though.

I think there's a good chance of either getting KOd but if Khan can weather the early storm I would favor him.

It would be an interesting fight, for sure.

[mattboxingfan]

Kats would eat a lot of shots on the way in but eventually he will land and then we will see how Khans chin holds up! Katsidis 8th round KO.
