    I can't see Khan ever beating Hatton.

    It's the worst possible styles match up for Khan.

    WTF again:-(

    So you can predict career graduations, can you?

    If Pac destroys Hatton, and its a terrible ageing fight for the Hitman, then we can talk about this bout. But what if Hatton wins, then goes from strength-to-strength, and is still at the top of his game? What then? I'll tell you what! Hypothesis in the bloody extreme that is what it is.

    I said in a couple years! And I never said Khan would win, I was just asking what people thought. I would also Pick Hatton to win right now but in 2011, 2012 after a couple of years with Roach I think this could be an intriging fight. Read the thread before making such statements. Thanks

    Give it a read yourself, muppet.

    The TS says he can see this fight happening down the line, but he doesn't ask the question relating to the future..............because that would be a bit stupid.....do you see?

    This is boxing for ****s sake; the terrain can change overnight, nevermind over two years.

    As of now Hatton murders Khan.

    Two years from now we might have Cloverfield......giant alien monsters marching about Manchester.

    Two years?!? Catch yourself on.

    I'd say in a couple of years Hatton will be retired.

    No you didn't.

    You outlined the fight, asking for predictions, and then said you could see this fight taking place in a couple of years time.

    Did you seriously expect us to make a prediction right now based on a fight that might take place in two years time? Are you measuring an improvement in Khans work against a deterioration in Hatton's over a two year period?

    Because, as of right now Hatton beats Khan easy..........in two years? Who the **** knows? I dont, and I dare anyone to make an accurate prediction. Too many imponderables to mention.

    If they play it right, publish it as a passing of the torch kind of bout, then it could work out fine.

    Plus, if its a competitive fight, Khan could still emerge with a lot of credit.

    It really depends on the setting.

    What makes you think Hatton will come back aged 33 to fight Khan for the money after earning the best part of 30 million quid??

    The erse limpets are out in drogues today lol

    Khan has already shown us that he DOES NOT fight people who are legitimate lightweights never mind a lightwelter......remember what happened when he faced Prescott(his first ever lightweight opponent)

    Khan will be wrapped in cotton wool for the remainder of his career and will never have a significant win on his record because the people around him know his chin is useless.
    Khan has the weakest chin I've ever seen and I have been a boxing fan for many years.

    Hatton v Khan today...Hatton via easy KO
    Hatton v Khan anytime I expect the same result unless Hatton is very very very very shot but surely Amir doesnt want to be known as the kid who only fights shot fighters or smaller men (or both at the same time lol) His reputation is practically non existent amongst boxing fans (ok, his little amir brigade are still there)

    A Mere Khon needs to prove he can mix it with opponents his own size and until then he is still a no name imo.

    Hatton beats Khan in 3 years 4 years or 5 years. Even if he hasn't trained and weighs 170lbs.

    In 2 years time Hatton will be retired, But If Khan stays with Roach for 2 years, and has defended his world title a few times at LWW and Hatton wanted the fight, Khan would do a Mayweather on Hatton, Khan in 2 years could be a great counter puncher.

    Right now Hatton would KO Khan.

    Seems like my quote upset some people.

    Firstly, I was not a Khan fan before the Prescott fight, but I cheered him on against Barrera, so I guess I am a fan of his now.

    Now the reason why I said 'questions like this are why people do not like Amir Khan' is because once he gets a decent win, the hype goes into overdrive for a fighter who still is not proven at world level, and he is then matched up against some of the top p4p fighters in the world (it was the likes of Murray and Thaxton after the ***an fight), which is just wrong.
