Would you rank Khan ahead of Hatton (Ricky) if he beats Peterson?

    Nigel Wright would beat Salita.

    Hatton unified by beating maussa and his welterweight title was won from collazo, if you discredit khan's wins you'd have to also discredit hattons titles

    If he beats Bradley, yes.

    Hatton's career was punctuated by the win over Tsyzu. Khan has arguably beaten better "contenders", he's yet to have a truly defining night though.

    Nope, Khan has done phenomenally well, but nowhere near Hatton's legacy.

    Even had he beaten Bradley and had all 4 belts, I wouldnt have rated him higher than Hatton, he needs to go to Welterweigth and do there what he's done here in LWW for me to rate him higher.

    Have to disagree with the Mcloskey bit. He's well short of world class. Was also rather lucky against Prescot.

    Because it was a very close fight and I didn't think Hatton winning was controversial. I can see an argument say for something like Helenius-Chisora, but not for a close fight with several swing rounds.

    Tszyu wasn't partially retired when he fought Hatton, complete myth. He ****in destroyed Sharma Mitchell what 6 months before and looked collosal doing it.

    Tszyu wasn't all that though. Overrated in terms of 'greatness', you see some claiming he's one of the best 10 stone fighters ever.

    A win over Bradley would get him above Hatton IMO
