Both at their best who wins at 140? I see alot of Hatton hate on here, and alot of people over-rating Khan, maybe not after last nights performance. But forget the bad nights, both on their best who have you got? Ive got Hatton, and i think he handles Khan quite easily.
Khan would offer Hatton plenty of trouble with his speed, and combinations (mainly straight shots). But Khan struggles with pressure, Hatton was good at pressuring. Khan can't fight up close and personal, Hatton could. Hatton had great stamina, Khan hasn't judged the 12 round pace right yet. By the time of this thread, Hatton has already peaked, Khan has not. (Hatton beats this version of Khan).
Hatton. I feel Hatton gets a bum deal on here, not particulary gifted in the slick skills world but his style of fighting was certainly affective to the point it made him a 2 weight world champion. I think a prime Hatton has every current Jr Welters number. Including Khan, Alexander, Maidana and Bradley.
I feel the same way, people seem to underrate Hatton too much. Hatton would beat the sh*t out of all of the JWW today. Id love to see Hatton Vs Maidana
I would take Hatton in this one. I dont see Khan being able to take the intense pace and pressure that Hatton set.
Hatton. He had fast feet and close the distanced well. Khan's footwork is really flawed and he doesn't have much of an inside game. Nor does he have the accuracy and generalship at long range to consistently keep Hatton off him. Hatton mauls him and stops him in the mid rounds.
I'd put money on Hatton at this point in Khan's career, but I also think we'll see a lot more from Khan. He's still young
