Not sure if this is just hype from Katsidis people but wouldn't be shocked to see GBP keeping things in house.

Was just gonna post this myself..!

Interesting to see what the Maidana fight took out of Khan but he should be OK as he's not been in a war so to speak prior to that fight and he's in great shape.

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.

funny

everytime a boxer says he isnt gonna fight someone does that mean he is ducking them?

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.
