    Will his achievements at LWW surpass Ricky Hattons?

    Of course, the Kosta fight was a great victory for hatton, but Khan has already beaten Paulie M more convincingly than Ricky did.

    So, does Khan move ahead of Ricky if he wins those fights convincingly?

    By the way i voted no, his win over KT means he should still b ranked higher

    I dont think so, if Khan won both of these fights that means he's only had 5 fights at the weight, I dont think he'd surpass Hatton with only 5 fights.

    No I don't think so as Hatton dominated over a longer period.

    Quality not quantity. You would have to ranked there top 5 in order and scored points.

    Hatton is more dominant over a longer period of time.

    No, Kostya Tszyu was a defining fight for Hatton. None of the above mentioned are nearly as big a name as Tszyu was. Tszyu was likely past his best but he was still winning up til that point whereas Bradley and Alexander are not past it but they're not what I'd call great fighters either.

    On the other hand Khan apparently stopped Pac in sparring the other day so maybe he's the best p4p :lol:

    Perhaps. But if Khan wins it he will own all 4 titles and the lineal title. Thats impressive.

    No doubt. And with a good few more defences he could definitely surpass Hatton.

    Like Flashy above has stated, are we talking about quality or quantity?

    Because a prime Timothy Bradley is as good as, or maybe slightly better than a shot Kosta - Ricky's only claim to fame. If Khan was to impressively defeat Maidana and Bradley/Alexander (who are ALL in their primes), then I'd personally regard that as better.

    Not to mention, Khan would have another 4/5 years to seal his legacy. Plenty of time to catch up and surpass Hatton, overall.

    Not off the back of those two wins.

    But give him 5 years and if he's still ruling the division then yes.

    I also think that this will happen incidentally. Unless he moves up. Even if he does, with Floyd and Pac probably on their way out, no reason he cant rule WW...
