    Depends on the ref. If Hatton's not allowed to hit, rabbit punch, headbutt and hold he never enjoys nearly the success he had.

    Hatton knocks out Khan.

    As for their heights, Judah is listed at 5'7 and Khan is 5'10.

    Could have fooled me. Khan is probably about 5'8, Hatton 5'6. Height difference won't matter Hatton would have destroyed Khan.

    Hatton breaks him down and knocks him out.

    For those of you who cite Khan's speed you have to remember that Hatton was no slug himself. Hatton was fast enough to track down Mayweather so he'd definitely be able to get to Khan.

    I don't think so.

    Hatton relied heavily on using his physical strengths to bully and maul his opposition. When that failed, he was lost. See Collazo.

    Khan has his flaws, but to say he's more one-dimensional than Hatton, is an exaggeration. Pre-Roach he was getting by opposition on pretty much athleticism alone and learning very little in regards 'boxing'. But since then, he's improved quite a bit. He's only 24 too. Right now he'd probably lose to Hatton (based on styles), but if he can pick up a few more tricks, learn to use his strengths, conceal those weaknesses, it could be a different story.

    Honestly, when people here criticize his ring generalship, footwork, etc, they do go over the top. If he really was just a fast fighter with limited skills, there's no chance he would have got this far bearing in mind he has a very weak chin too. He has flaws like any other fighter does. But his seem to be magnified more than others.

    Khans resume pisses all over Hattons if you look at them both at 24.

    Hatton was a protected boxer his glass jaw would have shattered if he stepped

    up in class at that age.

    Hatton is a bad style for Khan. He almost was stopped by Maidana and Hatton can bring more pressure than that.

    However, I think Khan has more natural talent and athleticism. In time he could beat Hatton with the right game plan and with a decent ref. But I think as of right now he has a good chance of being stopped.

    depends on where the fight is held and who's the referee.
