Khan is indeed a protected fighter, and some of the comments he has made compell me to consider him a wanker (As does every pro I know) but the fact is that imo he does possess more boxing skill than Ricky Hatton. But Khan despite his superior boxing skills will never be as great a fighter as Hatton! Why? That pathetic beard of his, coupled with the lack of a fight-ending punch will ensure that! I also reserve judgement on Khan's "Heart" simply because we have not seen him in a "Battle" whereas we know Ricky is as brave as a lion. There is betting available for a Khan-vs-Hatton fight (Despite no match being announced) at some of the English bookmakers, and they have Amir at 8/13 and Ricky is 5/4.
Khan is a much more talented fighter than Hatton ever was. I even think that Khan may get this pound for pound title Ricky always went on about as well.
It's a long shot though Punk mate! It's that ****ing ******* beard of his!! Were it iron instead of tin-foil he may very well have proved to be a contender for the p4p title. Mind you, he could also do with one-punch fight-ending power!
I think Teddy Atlas would be a great choice..... not sure Atlas would put up with his indiscipline and at times wavering focus in camp. He would certainly get inside his head, where a lot of his problems lie - tackle that delusion that he seems to have acquired, and he will get rid of a lot of the cronies.... he really does have one hell of an entourage these days.
put a carrot on a stick or any food while he's pulling a pinto with anne wolf in it. seriously, why not steward, roach, richardson, or moorer who's been roach's right hand and should know some of his tricks? if hatton is serious about this he's gonna need the best. that or a miracle
