    Great fight back in their prime.
    Not sure on who would have won, but I would never put any money on Khan and his chin.

    I really don’t know.

    was Hatton really much better than the like of maidana , and maidana was a harder puncher.

    Collazo,Gomez and paulie both said Khan was better much better than hatton.

    I recognise Hatton as a world class fighter, just below the elite, probably the same as Khan.

    Yet, I think khan would win a UD that in reality should be 118-110, but because Hatton was the blue eyed boy it may go to a British split decision.

    :lol:

    Glass Jawed Khan gets knocked out in less than 5 by a shot to his Glass Jaw or to the body. Fight would be a total joke.

    The disrespect for Hatton on this site is real. Khan gets stopped in this fight after landing a few flurries early.

    FWIW I think Bradley would have given The Hitman more trouble and would pick prime Ricky to beat Garcia and any of the guys Crawford beat at 140.

    Terrible style for Khan. Khan will definitely look dangerous and comfortably ahead early, but from round 4 onwards Hatton will start landing till he eventually lands the finishing blow. Hatton by KO in round 6.

    I wouldn't rate Hatton as I would Khan to be fair. Hatton had some skills behind his aggression that he's given zero credit for. He's a mauler, but also does so tactically. Khan on the other hand, is fully 100% reliant on his freakish speed. Push his speed aside, usually visible from round 4+ in his fights, and he's a very predictable fighter with zero tactics behind his attacks. He's pretty much a one-two fighter. Hatton has given an ATG like Mayweather a serious fight before losing. That's something Khan hasn't and will never do.

    Regarding the Maidana fight, Hatton is a better fighter than Maidana. Simple as that. Don't get me wrong, Maidana is a solid fighter, but I would rate Hatton easily better.

    Hatton might blunder into a counter 1-2 and suffer a flash KD or two early, but he grinds down and stops Khan by the mid-late rounds, and you can take that to the bank. :thumbsup:

    I don't know, Hatton had trouble with fast fighter's and his chin was almost as glass as Khan.

    Neither want to give the other a pay day
    and they ain't interested in giving the fans fights they want
    In short it never happens
