    What do you mean by going further?

    If you mean in terms of being a star and crowd draw then as I stated earlier Khan, and for that matter no other boxer in the near future, is never going to have what Hatton had due to his crossover into football.

    If you mean in the ring.. I am not a big believer in Hatton ever being that great a boxer, he was however better than most of the other people at world level, but was not in the "World elite" level such as Pac, Mayweather. But at the same time due to his huge fan drawing capabilities he was put in with both of them.

    I can't really see how Khan would get into this world elite bracket either. I believe there is a place for him amongst the current crop of world level fighters but I can't see how it's possible for him to go any higher as speed can only get so far and when you fight people like Mayweather or Pac, you're going to get hit on the chin, and therein lies the problem.

    No, Hatton is genuine Euro class. He's being compared to Haroon because you made a thread which makes us compare them.

    Not being funny mate, what you think of anyone means **** all.

    Now I'm gonna take this time to apologise for insulting you. However, your constant bull**** is annoying, you don't know anything, it's plain to see. Now I'm not saying I'm at all the most knowledgeable, but I am learning, which is something you refuse to do. This is the reason I believe no one here likes you. You're an arrogant and ignorant ****. You refuse to listen to any reasoning and your support for Khan and hatred to anyone other than Khan is sickening and disrespectful. The way you dismiss Matt Hatton's achievement of winning the Euro belt is wrong. Yeah he got a bit of help from his brother, but he was the one stepping into the ring and winning the fights. So for this reason, I am blocking you. I know you don't care, but hopefully others will do the same and leave you in peace, because it is an embarrassment to everyone involved. Cheers

    Matthew Hatton, due to him being a *****, is underrated. Yes, he got his head boxed off by Watson but his recent form is decent. Stopping a faded Bami is a decent win, drawing with N'dou when most felt he won was a good result, Branco the statue was a proven Euro level boxer and Hatton clearly won and his most recent win, against Nuzhnenko, is the most impressive yet. A draw against a gatekeeper on the world stage, a win against two Euro level boxers and a win over a domestic contender. Not bad in 18 months.
