    Depends on the ref but Khan beats the best version of Hatton.

    pressure fighter hatton could very well beat khan, look how much trouble maidana gave him hatton could as well.

    Hatton is there to hit, and he hasnt got one punch power

    Khan is better schooled aswell.

    What makes you think Hatton can win?

    by landing so many punches he would be a mess, especially how he cuts.

    to be fair kostya was ancient, hatton would have no chance against him in his prime!

    he hasnt got one punch power? he probably dropped 15+ fighters with single-shots to the body, its not like khan has a granite jaw

    Hatton's power isn't comparable to Maidana's though, and I feel the speed, boxing ability and length of Khan would make the difference in the end.

    Hatton was a good fighter in his prime no doubt, but Khan beats him 8/10 I think.

    So your saying Khan has a glass body?

    Khan has so many advantages over Hatton its crazy. Khan even has a better resume and his career has only just started

    funny thing is if this thread was a year to 18 months ago, a poll would be 90% in hattons favour, now khans flavour of the month.....

    I know man, people are fickle. I've always been a Khan fan though.

    Hatton was a good fighter before he fought Mayweather and had some good wins. Kostya of course was his best win but I think his win over the undefeated and hard punching Juan Jurango is an underrated victory. That being said, Collazo deserved the decision against Hatton IMO but Hatton was really out of his weight class. I wouldn't call Ricky a legend but he was a damn good fighter.

    I respectfully disagree. Pacquiao supposedly lost to nobodies
    Hopkins lost his first fight

    People overate losses way too much, in boxing, a loss early in a career either destroys a fighter, or makes a fighter improve. In Khans case he has clearly improved.
