    On his facebook page he's asking fans who they'd like to see him fight, claims that he will be a world champion and that Ricky Burns should "just give him the title and save his jaw the grief"

    How do you guys feel about this? he hasn't fought for nearly 2 years and looked shopworn against Ricky Burns and then completely past it against Albert Mensah in his last fight, losing both fairly wide.

    I think the Marquez and Guerrero fights took a lot out of him, he's a warrior though and I always enjoyed his fights, if he can rekindle some of his past form then he could be a force.

    Thoughts?

    "Ricky Burns should just give him the title and save his jaw the grief"

    I wish that fighters and fans would quit criticizing British fighters chins.

    I agree, plus Ricky Burns beat Katsidis comfortably and never looked troubled once in the fight.

    I hope Kats reconsiders. Hate to one day have to sit through an interview with him where his words are undiscernable.

    Dont do it Kats!

    Last I heard he failed an MRI and couldn't get a license. Has he recovered?

    Most Aussie fighters are bums but Katsidis was good.

    Burns schooled that punching bag. The Hell is the point in a rematch?

    Kat will never be any type of force if he comes back. Wasn't even that good to begin with. The highlight win of his career is stopping glass chinned Kev Mitchell.

    He has taken way too much punishment, he should not fight anymore...........

    Respect to Katsidis, a true warrior. But I really hope he does not fight again. He has taken far too much punishment in his fights, and needs to consider his longterm future.
