    khan embarasses him, he has a good volume and a good jab and hatton would never ever be able to penetrate that reach

    Hatton KO. Khan will never beat a big puncher.

    Khan hasn't peaked yet so prime Hatton fired up would stop him. Lets see how Khan develops though

    I wouldn't really put hatton as a big puncher. More a Diaz style volume puncher. Although he does have a greater Body Shot.

    i think it would be a great match up. I think if they fought now Khan stops him, but a few years back hatton's Chin used to hold up a lot more, and he'd be able to get inside and maul away.

    Right now, I think prime Hatton would be able to get to his chin and knock him out. If Khan can keep improving his defense, that may change.

    If they fight today, Hatton would be on the end of a bad loss.

    Put Khan in a time machine to go back and face the Hatton that beat Kosta, then Hatton would snatch a late stoppage in a very competitive fight.

    However if Khan reaches the potential that we think he will, then I think that version of Khan would beat a prime Hatton in a competitive 12 round decision.

    Khan hasn't done anything to suggest that he could deal with a pressure fighter on the level of Hatton. He was put down and hurt bad against a domestic level pressure fighter in Michael Gomez, who incidently is a natural super feather weight.

    Hatton would pressure this Whimp until he snaps like a pretzel.

    it would be hatton all the way..khan wouldn't of stood a chance at all in my opinion.hatton would of been too good and too rough for khan..stoppage between 4-7.
