    If Khan wins the title off Kotelnik, there are chances that Hatton will challenge him for the JrWW title.

    Sounds like a fight that would really make a killing in terms of $$$ and a fight with constrasting styles where its kind of hard to pick a winner, especially if Khan really does beat Kotelnik

    thoughts? sounds like it makes money and it makes sense

    I like the idea of Hatton vs Katsidis more.

    This is a fight I would very much be in support of. I think the longer Hatton stalls on his retirement the more plausible this fight becomes. Let's hope Khan comes through his fight with Kotelnik in order to make this huge domestic match up possible.

    i hope it happens as well...

    it will be a contest to see who lands a power shot first...khan's chin will mean anyone he is in the ring w/ has a chance to end it w/ one blind swing for the fences power shot...and it would appear that hatton is open as well to being taken out in a similar fashion

    would be interesting

    Could be a passing of the torch scenario..
    (But IMO, Hatton ain't ready for the pasture just yet)

    I'd favor Hatton, regardless of Roach's recent success vs. Ricky.
    I'd watch, They should make it happen....

    This fight will last as long as it takes for Ricky to run across the ring, launch a left hook and the ref to count to 10.

    Funny, cause Roach was advising Hatton to retire last month, and both Khan and Hatton have stated they'd never fight each other.

    Unfortunately, I see a Hagler/Minter scenario developing if Khan KOs Hatton in front of 50,000 boozed up Ricky fans.

    Hatton won't quit until he has brain damage.

    I dont think that Hatton wants to fight anymore.
    His chin is done, and if Khan starches him, he might as well shoot himself.
