Kostya era Hatton vs Khan

Oh, you mean the Hatton that clinched, hit on the break & low-blowed his way to victory courtesy of another FW stitch-up with Dave Parris as chief accomplice against a post prime, semi-retired Tszyu? If that fight had taken place anywhere else Hatton would have been DQ'ed. Jesus, Hatton has to be one the most over-rated fighters ever to come from these shores, his reputation amongst his neanderthal fanbase is based on how many pints he could hold as opposed to any real boxing ability :deal

 

khan the headbutt warrior.

 

bad post,from a khan nutthugger:good

hatton,the most overrated boxer blah de blah,do you watch anyone but khan mate.
the tszyu fight was dirty,from both fighters,have you watched any of his past fights,he was a dirty ****er as well
it aint ****ing cricket sweetheart

 

Hatton easily. FFS Maidana pushed khan all the way.

 

Khan could have easily been stopped in that fight by another ref, and today we'd all be hearing a different story. Margins.

That's not taking anything away from Khan, he did well, good fight, great win for him, credit to him, but I've seen boxers stopped far before the onslaught he was taking.

 

Actually numbnuts my favourite fighters from these shores are Lennox, then Calzaghe followed by Benn. Khan gets a rougher ride than most on these boards for some odd reason :huh

 

You could also say Hatton would off been DQed by most other referees but its all ifs and buts.

 

Let me guess........racism?

 

Exactly, two sides of the same coin.

 

Well, this is a thread about Hatton and Khan and your previous posts give Hatton a far rougher ride than Khan gets elsewhere in it. :huh

 

it would be a good fight but stylistically hatton would give khan fits

 

Personally I'd invest more fate in a dirty fighter than a vulnerable one.

 

To be honest, Hatton's only offense was a leaping half left jab-half left uppercut, or lunging in to grab so he could step sideways off the grab for a short hook downstairs (that was mostly blocked by a right elbow/arm). That was it.

Khan is 5ft11.5in, Hatton was 5ft5.5in. Let's be realistic. Ricky would struggle to land punches.

 

Khan would win, Hatton lost both his fights with elite fighters.

 

Not only lost them, he got pummelled. Lets face facts, Kostya was past it.
