    So you don;t think a bigger target makes any difference then? Khan is hardly elusive, and Ricky doesn't need to land much, just enough to start grinding Amir down.

    As the fight goes on, his 'basic offence' (which, bar handspeed is still more impressive than Khans IMO) will take its toll. Khan just doesn't hit hard enough to keep the 'Tszyu Ricky' off of him, Ricky did not have an iron chin by any means, what he was tough, durable and hard to push back.

    I don't see Khan being the guy to do this, nor do I see him being a high calibre enough operator to successfully outmaneuver Ricky.

    This would be like a Lidl version of Taylor-Chavez.

    I don't believe Khan could keep Hatton off him. Hatton would have the foot work to cut the ring off and would grind Amir down.

    Hatton never lost to anybody as ordinary as Breidis Prescott, you can't use Hatton's losses as a reason Khan would win.

    Don't recall Hatton getting totally KO'd young, do you?

    No, but you're judging Khan by that loss, he's not the same fighter now at all.
