    Hatton requires Micky Vann to win. Vann must have refereed about 10 of his bouts. I remember when he fought Eamon Magee. The fight was nearly scuppered because Magee didn't want Vann as the ref. Vann was brought in deliberately by SN to ref all of Hatton's fight's. Naturally Vann always did a great job for the "home" fighter.

    Hatton had underrated skills. Unfortunately he was his own worst enemy. Had he taken care of himself he'd still be fighting today and doing well at 140.

    This is just soooo tiresome and cliche. Underrated compared to what? He spent a huge chunk of his career fighting WBU tin cans. Was that underrated too?

    Hatton is listed as 5'7 and Khan as 5'10, where did you get them stats from?

    Hatton never dealt well with fast box punchers. Khan isn't a puncher but he has respectable power. And certainly the reach jab and hand speed to deal with Hatton handily.

    If you want to be really pedantic you'll find he is closer to 5ft 6 - Hatton.

    Khan. Too fast, and with roach in his corned would cruise to a decision.

    Ive stood next to both Khan and Hatton and neither are the heights they say they are.

    I dont know if this makes a difference , but when shaking Hatton and Khans hands I noticed that Khan is really quite a small frame , very skinny legs , where as Hatton was just a solid looking fella.

    Hatton's always been a sturdy chap. If you ask me Khan should be back down at 135. Although his performed much better at 140.

    there was nothing wrong with vann in that fight. the only fight that vann reffed hatton that was dodgy was the smith fight iirc...& even then; your trainer can't just storm the ring...

    at the same time vann was a massive twat. what kind of referee has himself announced as "superstar referee micky vann". twat.

    I will go with Hatton based on his greater aggression and body punching.

    Hatton UD12 Khan
