    How do you reckon it would go, and have you changed you view on the outcome after the Kotelnik fight?

    Hatton KO. Khan maintains his PPV status. Hatton retires.

    One more fight and then I think he can get UD with tight guards

    I don't wanna get carried away with Khan just yet but maybe a Khan UD. Hatton was very good against another titlist in Malignaggi not too long ago, though. That said, with Khan's superior reach and speed, I think he beats the Hatton of late- as for a prime Hatton, who knows. Roach had the perfect gameplan with Pacman and all Khan has to do is follow the same blueprint.

    Khan gets a tight UD. It would probably be a jab and grab job.

    I think Khan would box on the run for the first 6 rounds and then start to unload some combinations later on. The problem is, on last nights showing, he doesn't appear to have much power at Light-Welter so as long as Hatton doesn't steam in and land one punch, Khan should win.

    Not sure it would be a great fight though.

    Hatton has never been easy to hit.. hard to say this, but Khan would just connect far to many times with his flurries and they would take their toll at this stage of Hatton's career.

    i would pick khan on a close points win...only reason is because roach knows hatton inside and out.....

    If khan doesnt have the power to hurt hatton or enough to back him off for 12 rounds....i think hatton would smother khan to death and win by late KO, or would win on points....116-112....khan's best chance is to get to hatton early, hatton is a notrorious slow starter.....if khan doesnt KO hatton before 4, then that will answer questions about hatton's punch resistance vs khan's power.....i think once hatton starts smothering khan, and landing, khan mentally could turn into malginaggi, and just looks to survive....but khan is better then paulie skill wise, and i expect him to land and get points/rounds.......

    prime hatton KO in 4

    A prime Hatton (say from the Stewart fight) would **** Khan - probably inside a round.

    The current version would probably take 10 rounds and force a corner retirement.

    After being destroyed by Paccy, I don't know if Hatton will have the desire to make it down to LWW anymore. He was ballooning up pretty bad last I saw.

    Hatton has no place inside a boxing ring no more, he is shot to ****.

    Truth be told, he has been since PBF.

    His punch resistance has gone for me, and as such, Khan stops him inside 5

    I still don't see Khan holding up to Hattons pressure.
