before people would of said hatton hands down. but since his k.o last week. wondering if people have changed there minds upon this out come? i'm unsure. if hatton can be found out so easy by roach and khans new pacman style,things could go wrong. but hatton has the power. experience and khans chin isnt really built to get hit.
Another factor which would be in Hatton's favour if he isn't completely finished is that Khan can not fight inside, see the Michael Gomez fight.
Khan's defense is no where near as decent as Pac's.Hatton hit Pacquiao with a punch in the 2nd round that had Pac backed up abit.That same punch would of KTFO Khan easily.
its a shame khan has such a weak chin. he has all the talent in the world but anyone who gets in the ring always has that chance...and despite what has happened to ricky lately he isnt just anyone. so what's more likely....that khan can dance and keep ricky away the whole fight or that ricky finally gets to him w/ a flush power shot? probably the latter
i would dare say its better. since he knows his chins not pacs.. pacman aint all block. he leaves himself open . khan recently has kept himself locked behind his block
Pac's defense is very underrated, you might not notice but in alot of his fights punches seem to just miss him by a few centimeters.
khan's style gives hatton a lot of problems, Hatton at least used to move his head before but this version just comes out square, with chin in the air not even a jab thats straight it would be a very exciting/even fight as khan is not yet peaked and hatton is slipping
Dont know how you can say its better, when Khan's last 2 fights show that his blocking technique is a mimic of Pac's,
OK, I guess I'll go against the majority and think Khan takes it. No, Khan isn't as experienced as Hatton but he is far more skilled than Hatton. Just like Pac's handspeed befuddled Hatton, Khan will do similar damage. Floyd Sr did nothing for him. He still walks into punches.. Hatton won't even see the punches coming. I think Khan has good enough defense to avoid getting caught by Hatton, who is far from a one-punch knockout artist anyhow.
I think Ricky beats him. Warren wouldn't be putting him with Kotelnik if he thought Khan's chin is still a factor.
You dont need a one punch ko artist to knock khan out, Willie Limmond a guy with something like 5 ko's had him knocked down and hurt bad, another guy rachid drilzane or something, no knockouts what so ever knocked khan down.
