Lefty I think you are wrong mate. Katsidis is a great opponent for Murray for so many reasons:

- Katisidis is very well known on these shores so any fight with him will sell well = money all round
- Kat has been up and around world level for a while now and has given great value, sometimes coming up slightly short but generally proving he belongs in and around that level with the world level fighters.
- He has absolutely mullered 2 other british fighters, proving he would clearly be a great test for Murray
- I also agree with others that Frank would wangle it for some belt or other and sell it well.

Yeah but murray wants to become a proper world champion,anyway aside from that whats to say that murray wouldnt/couldnt make big money fighting an unbeaten mexican in mexico considering that mexicans make up a large part of the boxing fanbase?

Well we'll have to disagree on this one,as it is katsidis is going to be fighting robert guerrero anyway a guy that beat escobado and casamayor pretty comfortably when kat beat escobado by split decision and got knocked out against casamayor who by the way was about 36/37 when he fought katsidis so he wasnt exactly in his prime.

Sure, he'd take any of the title-holders but if a fight came off against Kat with a stake of the WBO on the line then he'd go for it as you have a guaranteed seller. Kat has a tough one lined up but one 'W' and a win for Murray or Mitchell and you just know that they'll be talk of Michael coming over here again.
good :TU:

Im not saying it wont happen because its boxing and we all knows its a joke the business and regulation side of things.I think katsidis will struggle to beat guerrero anyway to be honest.
