    katsidis seems like he wants a pay day before he bows out, and it got me thinking if katsidis actually landed something substantial on khan like he did on marquez could you see khan getting stopped. i think khan would blow katsidis out of the water at 140, but if khan lands his best shots and katsidis is still there things could start to get interesting, katsidis has the style to really give khan problems.

    It could be, but Khan is too tall and his jab and his speed would be too effective for Katsidis to be effective.

    Plus, Amir keeps his right glove very high now when jabbing and I can't see Katsidis getting the left in. I'd pick Amir by late stoppage or UD.

    I don't see Kats being any better than Maidana, I think Maidana is a more durable and tougher fighter... But Katsidis could cause trouble for Khan; at the moment I'd have Khan as a firm favourite though.

    No way would Khan blow Katsidis out of the water, if Guererro and Marquez couldn't do it then Khan wouldn't do it, no question that Khan could win the fight if he boxed to a crisp game plan (Guererro is the blueprint on how to beat Katsidis) but Khan likes to come forward and fight, he likes to give the fans excitement, that approach would play right into Katsidis' hands, could be one of the fights of the year if it happened, and if Katsidis landed something big, Khan would go.

    :deal

    It's probably more likely that Khan picks him apart easily than it is a good, competitive fight. That said, Katsidis definitely has the style that could cause Amir serious problems.

    Khan hits harder than Gurrerro, IMO.

    It could be? You ****ing serious.

    Everytime a prospective opponents there for khan you hype up the opponent to make a khan victory look/seem breathtaking.

    Yet against folk that would expose khan you say they're ducking and don't want it.

    Seriously get a grip.

    Yes, I'm serious.

    Who have I hyped up? Go on.

    And who did I say they're ducking and don't want it?

    Katsidis in his prime would give Khan problems, infact any pressure fighter with a punch can to an extent.

    katsidis was never really a pressure fighter though, he was just a brawler.

    Saying Katsidis isn't a pressure fighter is like saying your not a homosexual.
