    Hatton all the way

    Granite Chin and a tremendous body puncher, together with a lethal hook which would clip Khan see see him in trouble

    Would have been a great fight, hard one for me to watch as I like them both

    Hatton in his prime has much more cagey, little feints, caught shots and didnt walk forward in straight lines

    Khan now is an excelent prospect, but still not on the level of a prime Hatton

    Even Malignaggi was getting on the inside against Khan in the early rounds so what makes you think Hatton couldn't?

    hatton would ko khan in 5 i think. khan can not be that good if he has struggled with an over the hill and battle scared gomez and nearly knocked out by willie limion. no offence their both good fighters but imagine what hatton would have done to them. a young gomez would have knocked out khan. plus hatton could do 11 rounds with floyd mayweather. could khan?

    I think Hitman makes khan look plain silly.

    hmm. but does Hatton have the skills to trouble Khan?

    remember, Khan's reach and his jab means he can strike from distance, whereas Ricky with his ickle t-rex arms is going to struggle to get inside and hug his way to a win.

    that former flyweight would have paralyzed Khan in quicker fashion than he destroyed Hatton

    Isn't really a fair question since Khan is still a few years from his prime as he's only 23, so we don't know how good he can become yet.

    I heard they sparred and Khan held his own for atleast 4 rounds. Does that make him twice as good as u know who? infact he didnt ven get knocked down, and we all know Pacquaio does not go easy in sparring.

    As i said, same move everytime :lol:

    Keyword: SPARRED

    do you know how much different sparring can be than an actual fight? And FFS if you're gonna mention that he didn't get knocked down, keep in mind they had headgear on numbnuts. :lol:

    Thats not stopped Manny knocking ppl out in sparring before, so give credit where credits due. Hatton could have had a F1 helmet on and he woulda got knocked out diving in like he was.

    There are very few fighters I would favor vs a prime Ricky Hatton. Amir Khan ain't one of them.

    Theres PLENTY of fighters in the history of 135-140 that beat a prime Hatton. But your right... Khan aint one of them.
