    Hatton is done

    Khan is to fast for him, it would be a one sided beatdown.

    Yep, Hatton in his prime would have been a nightmare for Khan

    It would be an awesome fight and Hatton would win it. Khan would have no answer for that kind of aggression.

    Correct, yet incorrect. Collazo beat him clearly. Urango beat him. But Ricky was one helluva fighter and in his prime wouldve destroyed Khan. Props to him he's a great fighter and im a huge fan of his but Callozo spanked his arse that night.

    It's such a shame that Ricky wasted the majority of his prime staying with Warren and being fed C and B class fighters over such a prolonged period.

    Today Khan would win easily. Hatton in his prime, ie the two years up to and including the Zoo fight was a beast and would probably have been too hot for Khan

    Hatton was good but did not have exceptional skill. A prime Hatton v Khan (now) would be a very interesting fight and quite close but as far as I can see a prime Khan (which is at least 18 months away) would totally own any version of Hatton purely on the basis of skill and being a better and more skillful athlete.

    Khans got the big advantage with speed ,height and reach.
    Hatton hasnt got anything left in the tank. If he didnt eat like a WWF wrestler he could have a possibility of knocking out Khan .

    Hate to say it, but I agree.

    Khan is to fast. Also, not sure how Ricky would feel physically after cutting weight at this point...plus the ring rust...

    Maybe a few years ago it would have been competitive, but not now.

    Hatton beats him, probably by KO.

    Hatton got to both Pac & Floyd, Hatton snapped Pac's head back quite good too one one occasion. If he can get to both those guys, he can definitely get to Khan, Hatton has great footspeed. Hatton's power is seriously underrated too, we saw him wobble Paulie badly in their fight and we saw what he did to Maussa.

    Khan wont stop him early like Pac did, not enough power, and Khan wont break him down like Floyd did.

    Hatton by stoppage.

    BTW I dont see where the assumptions of Hatton being shot is coming from...really. He may or may not be but he has shown us nothing in the ring to say that he is. Did he gas out like an old man in his last fight, was he sluggish, could he not pull the trigger? Nope. None of that. If Pac & Hatton fought 5 years ago and Pac landed that left hook inside 2 rounds, Hatton would have been KTFO inside 2 rounds too. Hatton's fight before Pac was Paulie...and he showed he was still a class above the likes of Paulie.

    It would be a big test for khan and he could outboxed him for sure but hatton do have the power to hurt khan. If hatton goes back to his boring style of hit and hold then i can see him winning this fight.

    Collazo? Maybe

    Urango? Nay ****ing chance!

    If Ricky wants a farewell fight he needs to fight another over the hill fighter

    Personally if Morales is serious about 147 i would love to see Ricky vs Eric at that weight in Manchester for a final Hatton fight

    Never will happen - Khan would win this imo but could struggle - but his speed and skill would tell in the latter stages of the fight - wouldn't have beat Tszyu Hatton tho

    hatton needs to fight a few more times, till say, the age that tszyu was when they both fought, then he needs to try and say to himself that his greatest victory had nothing to do with tszyu being past his best - age made the difference hatton, not your great skill blah...

    as for Khan, get Dave Parris in the ring, & hatton would KO Khan with eye-gouging & a kick to the head.
