Hatton, Haye, Khan...

Khan and to some extent Haye...and who knows, maybe even Hatton, their careers aren't over. What are your predictions from here?

 

Cotto RAN from Pac, he didn't stand up to him, he RAN

 

There's nothing wrong with hatton's chin. He was a warrior who never knew how to take a backwards step. HIs problem was his lifestyle between fights and this caught up with him.

Haye took some flush punches from wladimir and stayed on his feet. He ran out of steam against Thompson in only his 10th or 11th fight. He was still on his feet and throwing punches.

Khan doesn't have the best chin. Needs to improve his defense.

 

I thought he'd get battered . Under-rated win that ,by some.

 

They are all credible fighters at the top level of the sport.

Haye is a skilled and athletic fighter. He was the champion at CW and had a belt at HW. Those skills and athleticism probably gave him an edge over most HW's. He had a good attitude about travelling abroad and taking on the best. He talked a lot, backed up that talk for most of his career, then stopped. Didn't live up to expectations; wildly failed in that respect. Very disappointing, part-time fighter, talked a lot, made excuses but didn't deliver at HW.

Hatton is a throwback, entertaining every man. Tough, gusty and crowd-pleasing style. Massive asset to the sport in terms of generating cash and interest. Enough good attributes to compete at the top level. Beat a lot of good fighters but fell well short against the best.

Khan is over hyped but talented. Exceptional hand-speed. Overestimates his ability and his ambitions don't correspond to his talent which isn't Mayweather mark 2. Has amassed a good resume for someone his age. Probably needs to knuckle down and be a boxer rather than trying to be the next superstar. Questionable punch resistance. A work in progress.

 

Yeah Ricky couldn't take a punch at all, hence why he took the safety first approach in all his fights :roll:

 

What the hell are you on about? When he fought Mayweather he was one win away from being probably pound for pound number one in the world.

How the hell can you say he wasn't "elite level"? that's nonsense.

 

For me if Khan had a better chin he would probably be the next Pacqquiao

 

I agree with this. But it also depends how you define elite. I reserve that term for guys like Mayweather, Manny, Roy Jones and Lennox Lewis. Hatton, Khan and Haye are world class, but not elite in my opinion. Few fighters are.

 

You are a terrible, just god awful poster.

The resume of MASSIVE punchers Lennox fought and beat is incredible.

 

He's a troll who, despite claiming to dislike Britain, can't seem to get by without the attention of its inhabitants.
