    Has Ricky got enough left in the tank to overcome WBA King Khan?

    In his prime, Hatton takes it easy. Now I would say Khan probably takes him on points.

    Hatton is finished but I would still fancy him to walk Khan down and stop him. Khan doesn’t punch hard enough to stop Hatton moving forward. I could see Khan starting well but do think Hatton would get close and land enough shots to put Khan down.

    how about ricky hatton vs naseem hamed at 215lb???

    the only thing both of them are fighting nowadays are the stairs.

    kahn may aswell call hamed out of retirement.

    I went with Hatton by KO. If he hits Khan with the left hook that sparked Maussa It's lights out.

    No he wouldn't do that, I remember them been face to face on an ITV1 promotion. Khan said he wouldn't fight a fellow muslim :-(

    If he lands flush, would probably knock Khan out, but i see Khan being to quick for him at this stage, ending it in the 6th.

    Look , all Hatton lovers and boxing fans alike , please lets get off the Hatton future line , and lets just swallow the bitter pill that is Ricky is done !!!!!! , its that simple .

    By putting these posts on it just makes way for the Americans to slag off Hatton about how good he never was and the constant barrage of shitty 1 liners they come up with about Hatton that are just plain dis respectfull , lets just sit back and see what Ricky does !!!!!!!

    From a huge Hatton fan , i voted Khan by TKO , i just cant see it any other way ........... sorry guys :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

    Hatton of yester year would have walked him down but we know he struggles against big guys. he is smaller than khan, slower and in my opinion, struggling to adjust his style having been shown up by some great fighters. Kah on the other hand has bee shown up early in his career and has adjusted more comfortably.

    think hatton would be walking into too many jabs whilst waiting for a straight right in the hope he could counter a hook on khans chin (like kotelnik did) which might not have the effect we used to expect on kahn.

    Very honourable from the brother but I dont think that will be for ever. I would be surprised if Khan turned down a big fight if his opponent was Muslim.

    It could be argued that Islam doesnt permit boxing.

    Hopefully Hatton tells that bitter old toad to go **** himself!
    Warren cashed in on Hatton for years and after sueing him, I'm pretty sure Hatton won't want to line his pockets again.
