    katsidis / marquez / diaz are the only punch ups for him

    khan would just jab and circle all night

    alfonso gomez would stand and have a trade with him
    and make him look good ???

    Lets be fair, Hatton would smash him to bits.

    Not to sure about that to be honest at this stage, I also think Hatton at this stage would be murdered by Katsidis.

    To be fair, as good as Katsidis has looked recently, and is still improving, he's fought above WBO level twice and lost each time.

    That said I don't think 5lbs would be an issue at all..... Hatton would struggle like hell to get down.

    Too many unknowns to make a proper prediction, though a gut instinct is Katsidis by KO.

    Khan is the wrong wrong wrong fight to do that, although it would be a great event if it was held in Wembley Stadium. Would sell out the 90,000 capacity crowd no doubt, but even Ricky knows Khan would be all wrong for him, unless Hatton get's a great shot in.

    Make it happen though, I'd love to go :D

    I wondered whether his analogy of, "bow out like Tszyu did", means he doesn't mind losing to the next up and coming champion and he sees Khan potentially as that person. Would also fit with his comment about wanting great sportsmanship although maybe less so his comment about a war.

    Hattons gotten so full of himself, if he said this, I get the impression hes trying to remind everyone of his big glory night. Of course he wouldnt want to go out like Tsyzu did, not coming out for the last round, he would rather go out on a big clear win. I dont believe a word of him saying that

    Ricky will be shot to **** if he even comes down to 147 again.
