    I think Khan is too fast for the sluggish Katsidis, and has better stamina also. Katsidis would have his moments when he connects on Khan and backs him up, but Khan would knock him out around the 8th

    Err, you have to think Katsidis. Katsidis is like a less shot, harder punching version of Gomez.

    I always previously thought Khan holds too big a stylistic advantage, but with that chin its not enough.

    I don't think Khan would knock Katsidis, but I do think Katsidis would knock Khan out in mid-rounds

    Khan beat Gomez quite handily imo. Gomez had like 1 or 2 good moments

    Exactly, Katsidis even has great heart like Gomez. This would be an early-midround blow out for Katsidis.

    Tough to pick...two great attacking fighters, two weak defences.

    I do feel Katsidis cuts up easier than Khan, that could be the difference.

    Katsidis looked like a god with that Earl fight, but he seems to be having his problems with his own feet of clay since then.

    Not sure about that. Gomez is pretty much shot, got knocked out by Johanesson and a complete journeyman in recent years

    Katsidis took CLEAN shots from Casamayor, not a huge puncher, but when they are that clean they hurt

    Not only does this show up Khan's chin, but also his power is not that great. It took a lot of shots, and I don't think he'll get Katsidis out of there before getting starched.

    Katsidis was winning against Casa until he got stupid now from what i just watched Khan against Gomez well.

    Lets just say

    Katsidis TKO5

    Khan is now by far the most overhyped guy out there in boxing.

    Have you factored in Khan's chin?

    I think Katsidis win KO 7. Khan never step up to championship level yet. Katsidis step up and fought well before getting KO. If Katsidis learn from his mistakes from the last fight he would beat Khan quicker than 7.

    Well I don't know about Gomez' chin, but i know Katsidis doesn't have much of a chin either. I mean some of those shots that put him on ***** street against Casa were not the most powerful of punches. And lets be honest, Casa is shot as hell

    At least Khan is fast enough to avoid Katsidis' punches, while we know Katsidis will be eating alot of leather. Casa got tired at some point in the fight because his legs are old, but Khan is young and fresh.

    And the fact that one of the best chinned guys in Casamayor was well knocked out of the ring by Katsidis's Power.

    Very true. If Khan had took the shots Casamayor took against Katsidis then Khan wouldn't get past the 2nd round.
