how will khan fare against katsidis, if they fought next year?

Too early for Khan, if it happens he probably loses by stoppage.

 

ditto. Katsidis overwhelms him at this point

 

Katsidis would KO him, but it wouldn't be brutal. Quite sympathetic, I suspect; tender, even.

 

I think Khan would get KO'd. His defence and head movment has not improved enough for him to be able to avoid Katsidis's shots.

 

Thats how I see it. Khan seems far more talented with better physical gifts but he's just so vulnerable with that chin of his.

 

I agree that Kats is a far better fighter at the moment due to his experience and Khan's inexperience. However, i'm one of those who thinks that Kats is slightly overrated and there's no way he could've got away with fighting the way he did against Earl against a more talented fighter (Btw, I don't rate Earl and didn't really rate him before the Kats fight).

This is where i think Khan would have a chance. Yes, his defence is weak, i don't think his chin's been REALLY tested so far (I think it's his defense that had faultered in his earlier fights) but there's no way Kats can get away with another Earl show against this guy even tho he's not ready for Kats yet.

Even at this stage i can see a Kats KO or Khan KO. But my bet would be on Kats if a fight took place within a year but not really surprised or shocked abt people banking on Khan.

 

sure, khan could get stopped due to his weak chin.

but you forget, katsidis chin is also grade a china!!!

i´d give him a 40 percent chance. katsidis is favoured only cause he is more experienced.

 

Katsidis by brutal KO against china chinned Khan.

 

I'm glad that at least somebody here noticed it as well. He looked as if he was coming out for the next round of the Katsidis fight, and the way he folded proved that's exactly what he was doing.
The fanboys claim that Khan has improved greatly since the Limond fight. That could be the case, but from what I've seen all that's happened is the level of opponent has dropped.

 

You guys underrating khan. It is not all about power..

Its about Skill.

Khan win by TKO or UD.

 

As Khan found out when he fought Willie Limond.

 

To be fair, in Khan's case it was more about him finding out that it's not just about speed, it's about skill. Khan relies far more on speed than power.

But even that's wrong, anyway -- it's not just about ANY one thing. It's about a total package of various qualities, such as speed, smarts, chin, timing, conditioning, experience, power, defense, etc. And Khan, unfortunately, seems to not only have a bad chin but also have bad defensive skills. I don't see him move his head much at all, he's far too open when he attacks with those flurries, and his guard is normally not high and tight around his chin, which is where it SHOULD be, especially in his case where he doesn't seem to be good at taking quality shots.
