    Khan would annihilate him at this stage in their careers

    I think the key here would definately Freddie Roach.

    I wouldn't take it away from Khan, I think he beats him as he is.

    I dont know, he still has weakness' in his defence so Roach (the master technician) would do well to inform Khan of *****s in Hattons Armour. Lets face it Khan is nowhere near the puncher of Manny so he needs a proper gameplan coz Hattons not that bad offensively and Amir hasn't got the Mayweather defense

    Might take too much time to change the defense though.

    Exactly....Nail on the head there mate..But sometimes money does talk and this match would fill Manchester City's ground..BUT who would take the gate and TV and so on?? This fight ain't happening full stop these 2 will never work together again I feel...

    I don't know why anyone would want to work with Warren, the guy is a control freak and does absolutely nothing for a guy's career.

    The matchmaking is so ridiculously one-sided it is untrue... (rant over)

    There would be far too many obstacles in this one. Hatton will insist on doing his own TV deal and not letting the promoter have anything (fair enough IMO - they pay to watch boxers not promoters)..... where would it be staged, who would promote, who gets undercard slots (apart from Matthew of course) etc etc etc.

    It's about the only fight left that would earn Hatton a last decent pay day.

    In terms of skill and technique it's a no brainer and Freddie Roach has done a great job honing Khans skills,but I could not see Warren risking Khans chin which has only been tested once against Prescot.
