    Hatton accomplished more. Hatton was tougher. Hatton would beat Khan's ass.

    There's no point in trying to explain things like this to Ricky hatton fans. They are completely brain dead and they don't know enough about boxing for your points to make sense to them.

    Castillo was an irrelevant win, even so, Khan needs probably 2-3 more big wins before he gets near Hatton, not to mention the fact Hatton lost to the very best, Khan to a bum.

    Khan will soon be ranked higher than Hatton.Its obvious,Hattons two top win were Kostya and Castillo who weren`t top level anymore,his world title win at 147 lbs was a little dubious and his fat diet of booze,chips and pies between fights never helped.Khans a better fighter or certainly will be untill he`s retired.

    Tszyu was a great win for Hatton, even if he wasn't that motivated to fight Hatton which he made very clear before the fight. Kostya still had something left, and Hatton retired him, Tszyu had bruising on the brain from the punishment he took from Hatton. That win alone and a sustained reign where his only loss at 140 came in his last fight vs prime elite ATG in Pac is better then the few good wins Khan has at JWW.

    Khan is the better boxer personally than Hugton. Amir is only going to get better so the Uk better get used to it, imo. Khan is a superstar.

    Better get used to it? Dont you think as brits we are happy? I know i am. Its just amazing how beating a past it zab puts him over hatton? When he defeats bradley we can start talking, but until then, hes not on hattons level, hatton never lost to a complete bum either.

    It is probably the most dazzling stylish performance from a UK boxer i have seen, great to watch movement, jab, footwork. :happy

    Khan doesn't have the signature win nor the depth in his record. Another 3-4 wins over good comp should do it though.
