    Who wins - the Hatton that fought Kostya, or the Khan that fought Judah?

    Hatton had the fast feet to cut inside. Once there, he'll maul Amir and exploit his lack of inside game.

    Hatton by late stoppage after a hairy early couple of rounds. SO FAR Ricky appears to be the better operator IMO, especially on the night in question, where Khans punches would barely have got his respect.

    I'd say that version of Hatton is better than any fighter Khan has beaten in their current state.

    I'd go with Hatton, but wouldn't be surprised if Khan picked up a pts win throwing large amounts of light flurries all night.

    Khan is obviously nowhere as near as elusive as Mayweather nor as powerful as pac and Hatton is going to catch up with him, get inside and do his work. I should think Hatton would be able take most of Khans punches in his stride too.

    I'd go for Hatton, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if Khan won it on pts given the speed and volume of his output.

    Indeed, if it's one who turns a blind eye to headbutts you'd have to go for Khan. ;)

    It was a joke.:roll:

    Anyway, to claim that Khan is a totally clean fighter, yet ridicule Hatton for not being one, is a bit of a farce.

    Khan also doesn't seem to have much of an inside game, why should a ref remove that aspect of boxing for him. Fighting in and out of a clinch is perfectly legal and part of boxing.
