Sure weren't they meant to fight already?...khans camp claimed Katsidis was out-pricing himself, and Katsidis camp said Khan was ducking him and the famous quote from then was "Show us your balls" http://www.fightgameonline.com/news/katsidis-to-khan-16jun10.php could be an ok fight, though Katsidis is coming off a loss and would almost certainly be expected to move up in weight for the fight...i think it'd be better if they met at 137.5
John Murray should call him out it would be a great fight for him seeing as Katsidas is a touch below world class, a win would definitely get him propelled to the big fights.
After the Maidana fight I'd like to see Khan fight the winner of Bradley-Alexander, and failing that fight an opponent who isn't a stylistic nightmare for him for a second fight in a row. I see the appeal of this fight though... :think
ill be honest forget amir , i just dont wanna see katz take a pummleing in a fight he soimply cant win , imo if hes looking to cash out then a fight vs khan in england isnt a bad way to go . for me not an exciting fight but is a very good stop gap if the bradley/alexander winner is next
Most of Khans professional career was at 135...hes had very few fights at 140. Marquez is a much better boxer than Khan, I like Katsidis, hes scared to fight nobody...and I dislike the way khan tries to get people to move up in weight to fight him, as if hes some legendary ATG or Hall Of Famer. Theres other fights I'd rather see for Khan at 140 like Paul McCloskey or a rematch to avenge his humiliating defeat at the hands of Prescott.
Fact is ........... What is the more marketable option ?? Khan Katsidis or Khan Peterson For me its a no brainer , that said as a fan of the sport im not sure Katsidis brings anything to the table after being soundly beaten by a fading Marquez :deal , so why not the big push for Khan Marquez ??? , again it seems like a no brainer , GB were more keen on Khan Marquez than they were Maidana , and if Marquez and Beristain would of accepted the fight it would of been done in a heartbeat ........ Im not sure id like to see the younger Khan outwork and overpower the once great Marquez but its certainly a fight id pay to see Khan Katsidis is also a fight id like to see , and i think in all honesty its a more fan friendly fight than Peterson Its a smart move from team Katsidis
No complaints about khan fighting a lightweight? Both guys should have good homecoming fights. Peterson before the unification fight for amir and katsidis should have a tune up before fighting one of the other mexican belt holders. It would be great to see kats getting some well earned applause from his fellow aussies for a change.
Personally i'd prefer Judah, but out of Peterson/Katsidis, i'd choose Katsidis. Peterson just comes across as a glorified loser, somebody who's just gonna do enough to not embarass himself in a big match, whereas Katsidis is an actual warrior who always puts it on the line.
Peterson is garbage. Katsidis will be right in his face all night, Khan can't fight at close range, look what Maidana did to him there.
