    I have seen it reported on a few different websites. Now another ESB poster is claiming that they were apparently a the Malignaggi V Khan fight and he got told by Lou DiBella and Max Kellerman that Khan would be fighting Katsidis next. Looks like it will be in the UK too

    What does everyone think of this?

    I think it's a great fight for him! As good as Khan is, he needs a better defence than he's got to avoid Katsidis for more than 3 rounds let alone 12. Khan gets hit enough to know Kat's can catch him and punish him when he does.

    I doubt the fight will happen anyway. Would be great if it did though!

    I think Kats has more than enough power to trouble Khan. Right $$$ I'd jump at the chance if I was Kats. If he losses he can just stick at 135lbs. If he wins $$$$ wow, the opportunities are endless.

    Well if it does come off, it better not be in Cronulla.
    Those ****ing yobbo's that turned up for Paulie's weigh-in would be the undercard.:lol::lol::lol:

    I think Katsidis can stop Khan, I honestly think Paulie stunned him for a split second in one of the rounds in the middle, was probably the only punch he landed in the whole fight aswell. Khan could very well stop Katsidis before he can get to him though. Would be a good fight to see! I think JMM would beat Katsidis without too much of a problem.

    I disagree. His defence has improved but
    it's not so good that he doesn't get hit. I've noticed him take a few that, if thrown by someone like Kats, would at least wear him down or play with his mind. It is definitely better than before tho

    Khan has a very weak chin that if Kats landed on would turn his lights out.

    But Khan has ridiculous speed (top 5?) and at 140, the difference in speed would be huge. Plus he would have a big height and reach advantage.

    I'd stay away from 140 if I was Kats.

    I'd rather watch him go to war with Marquez anyway.

    dont be daft. khan was marked up by the feather fisted malignaggi. i like kats but he boke my heat sat night. im still gutted now. if he was willing to take's khans shot in order to get his own off he stands in a good chance of pulling it off imo. he deserve's a good payday and even if he does fight a marquez he's on the downside i still see him being to much for him:bbb:thumbsup

    Khan will fight Cassamayor.

    He's making a habit of fighting faded guys who can't punch
