    Hatton KO 3. hatton is a bigger puncher than anyone Khan faced by a mile, on top of that he is deceivingly fast(faster than any previous Khan opponent) and alot more skilled. This fight would be a good spectacle but its a mismatch. Just look at Khans next opponents record to see why.

    i reckon it wud be closer than most of u think id say hatton has more power but khan is so much faster it could be a very close fight and i think it wud be a good fight 2 watch just 2 see if khan has wat it takes becuz so far he has been fighting people he knows he can beat becuz of frank warren.

    Khan doesn't have the power to gain Hatton's respect, and his inside fighting would make Eric Crumble laugh.

    Hattpn's respect is overated,people said the same about how Mayweather didnt have the power to gain Hatton's respect.Khan's only problem is his chin otherwise he packs a punch and is fast enough to give hatton problems

    Khan isnt even in the same stratasphere as Mayweather in eithe rskills or punching power for that matter.

    If anything is overated it is Khan and if anything is underated it is Mayweathers punching power.

    Mayweather kept Castillo and De La Hoya honest in both of their fights, can the same be said about Khan even at British level?

    Wasnt talking about you in particular,the general consensus was Mayweather couldnt keep Hatton at bay because he was said to be a light puncher.Even Hatton himself told anyone who would listen that Mayweather couldnt not knock him out because Mayweather was featherfisted.We all saw what a featherfisted guy could do when Hatton's girlfriend threw up as he lay on the canvass.

    While Khan is nowhere near Floyd,he does have decent power to trouble Hatton if Hatton continues with his habit of blocking shots with his face.

    I favour Hatton to win at the moment having said that

    :rofl :rofl :rofl

    A bit faster maybe. Watch Hatton's handspeed carefully and watch Khan's handspeed. There's not really much in between them. Hatton is deceivingly fast and so is Khan, he looks so fast against these level of fighters but his handspeed is "good" at best.
