    I think he's probably in fast decline too. I was certain of it after the Lazcano fight, but I think it was a huge pressure occasion and that might have sapped him a bit. He's in some form of decline though, no doubt.

    Paulie will tell us a lot more about where Hatton's at. I make that a tight fight to call, it's bound to go to points and be scrappy, and in that scenario anything could happen on the cards.

    Let not get carried away.

    Amir is not calling Hatton out, he was asked the question from the media and he said he would love to have the chance to fight him and hatton said the same.. they are actually very close friends.

    lazcano wouldn't have been stopped the night hatton fought tszyu.

    lazcano is a tough hombre.

    the type of fighter that can take it all night.

    wasn't at all surprised it went the distance.

    hatton would destroy khan in about 4 or 5 rds. :yep

    It would be effing monumental, in terms of the sheer interest it would generate

    Hatton has said Khan needs to do some catching up though first, which is very true, but shows no signs of happening. Not fighting unknown Colombians.

    In fact the more I've read about this, the more it seems Hatton is trying to prise Khan away from Warren... using a fight with himself as the bargaining chip.

    Not sure what the terms of Khan's new deal with Warren are though, how long he's tied in for... he'd have been mad to commit for more than a handful of fights.
