If Khan retires now, Would he be ranked higher than Ricky Hatton?

Khan doesn't have a win as impressive as Hatton's win over Tszyu. Guess you could say Khan's biggest win is over a guy Tszyu killed. So, no.

 

Well I'm glad your admitting hatton wasn't a top fighter then

 

:good

 

So khan has to beat one of them to be ranked higher than hatton does he?
Cos by that daft logic your saying rickys better because he got sparked by two elite fighters

 

Still a long way to go. The only fear that I can see for him is when he faces a hard puncher. A boxing skill can be improved, the footwork as well. But the chin can never be. I am amazed that he is now in constant motion which helps him evade heavy punches. But once he moves up above 140 later on, things will be different. I just wish the best for him in his next fights. I love to see him having a technical boxing match against Floyd. Technically, Amir is one of the best boxers in the world today, "perhaps even better than Pacquiao" (with headgears, of course). But since professional fights don't have headgears, I doubt his survival against Pacquiao.

 

I think the castillo win was eqaul to hatton defeating a solid top 10 140lb contender,because Castillo defeated Ngoudjo who proved to be a worthy contender by defeating S.Mbaye, Randal Bailey, and giving Malignaggi nightmares in a title fight before losing to Urango,in that regard it was a worthy win,so Hatton does get some credit for that win imo.As for the Tszyu fight,Hatton beat Tszyu at his best,Tszyu was coming off a three round destruction of Sharmba Mitchell who while waiting for his rematch with Tszyu defeated the likes of Ndue,and completely dominated a still top 10 Ben Tackie,flooring in the process.Tszyu was ranked top 3 in the pfp rankings and showed no sighns what so ever of being shot in the fight vs Hatton.Tszyu lost fair and square like he did many years before against Vince Phillips.Khan has the potential to be better than Hatton,and has a great boxing style,but he hasnt defeated anybody the caliber of of HOFamer Kostya Tszyu.Could Khan have defeated Tszyu? Maybe yes,or maybe he gets koed.

 

Khan only surpasses Hatton if he beats somebody better than tszyu.Hatton had the great Tszyu victory before he so called cashed out against Floyd and Pac.Khan could have used the"I only lost to the best pfp fighters excuse" as well,if he didnt get koed by prescott.All that being said,i think Khan is a great and exciting fighter.

 

Right now, Hatton by a distance

At 24, Khan by a distance

Time will tell

I doubt Khan will ever pass Hatton. There's no one on the horizon in at WW or JWW that would get him on the level with Hatton's best wins besides Mayweather and Pac who both beat Khan with ease

 

Hell no. Can't wait til his glass jaw gets shattered again too. This fraud can't hold Hatton's jockstrap.

 

Ricky Hatton..

Ricky got beat by the best guys of this past era..

Khan got beat by Breidis Prescott.

Enough said.

 

Khan will retire age 30 plus and at 24 his work is greater than Hatton. With his American style and american training he will go on to do fantastic things in Boxing.

 

As of now Ricky. If Khan gets the Bradley fight and beats him though, I would lean towards Khan
