Khan's next opponent is likely to be Casaayor/Katsidis

Katsidis looks more wider than Khan
And i'm pretty sure Kats can make 140 with no problem..I doubt he will need to have 7000 calories a day like Pacman!

 

Alexanders team no full well a Bradley fight is not going to happen so they jsut continue to call him out. the money isnt there for that fight.

to be fair Bradley was fighting Maidana

 

What amazes me is the people talking about how Katsidis is too small want him to fight Maidana. How ****ing stupid do you have to be...it don't matter how ****ing big you are if you don't get punches off. It's the guy that can put EFFECTIVE pressure on that is going to trouble Khan. Power...they both have power. People obsess on size, these people are utterly clueless about boxing if they really think Maidana is a tougher test.

 

Obviously I want him to face the likes of Alexander, Bradley and Ortiz but he's not gonna face them in July after having just fought Malignaggi. He will probably face either Maidana, or one of the three guys I mentioned towards the end of this year, most likely Maidana. The July date is more of a keep busy fight he wants to get in before Ramadan so I have no problem if he faces Katsidis. To the people complaining about it look at it like this:

He will probably fight Maidana later on in the year because he's injured now. There's no way he's gonna fight Bradley/Alexander with so little preperation time. Would you rather he fight Katsidis as a keep busy or not fight at all untill he faces either Bradley, Alexander or Maidana? With fighters fighting only a few times a ****ing year I'd rather he fight someone than not fight at all. He could just say **** it and go off on holiday and then fight Maidana in November/December with nothing in between.

 

Katsidis is fine. Great fight and will sell well over here. However, following that up with JMM or Diaz would not (especially Diaz).

I'm a big Khan fan, but his next fight after this stay busy fight needs to be with one of the big 3 or someone just below (Urango, Peterson even Judah). To be honest its slim pickings at 140 after the top 4 guys. The Ring still has Kotelnik and Malignaggi in the top 10 and Khan practically shut out both guys.

 

I hope its Katsidis, it would be a good test of Khan's boxing off the back foot and maybe his chin at 140.
