    I doubt he'd beat Khan at this stage. The younger Hatton would maim him, but at this stage? I don't think Ricky will have much success in his comeback a world class level. And I don't think highly of Khan, but I'd be surprised if Hatton beat him at this stage.

    It's hard cause he fought a very high calories burning style, on high petrol motion, but he has the know-how to catch his opponents here and there with hooks and crisp shots from angles, he can put on a terrible pace at times yes, not all the time but at times.

    I would take a 2007 or 2008 Hatton over Khan. Ricky hits hard enough to drop Khan and put birds over his head again. I think a 147 Hatton in 07-08 easily beats an undefeated or 1 loss, 2 loss, or 3 loss Khan.

    He is able to but not the prime ricky hatton he used to be, nonethless he can still dominate many fighters out right now.
