Im a fan of both, but if this fight were to take place in Manchester, good god can you imagine the atmosphere? EVERYONE would be rooting for Hatton i think, but i know that Khan would take Hatton out no problem and with incredible ease. Khan is improving left and right, while Hatton is probably not the same fighter he was back a year ago. But this is one thing though, If Khan defeated Hatton, which is certainly a high possibility; he will never hear the end of it from British fans. Do you guys remember how they booed him during the weigh in for PAC-HATTON? Now, imagine that same guy you booed destroy your fighter.
Hatton is basically a rich man's Gomez. If Gomez drops Khan, Hatton finishes him. I don't see Khan standing up to Ricky's pressure. The question is, can Ricky even make 140? He's bound to have put some muscle on carrying around all that extra weight...

:good....I think a prime Ricky would stop Amir no problem inside the distance, but that's not going to happen as Ricky's "prime" days are over and the shape he is in would take too much out of him to make 140.Khan gets better each fight and even if Ricky could make 140,Amir has enough tools now to make this a sad end to a great career for Ricky...glass chin or otherwise
If he can get co-promotion options for a couple of fights, he should do it. If it means he can get the prospects he's promoting prominently placed on international PPV undercards, then it's probably worth the beating he'll take. Plus, he would still have a puncher's chance, although I just don't see Hatton catching up to him. It's not like Freddie Roach doesn't know the strategy to beat Ricky Hatton.
15-05-09. Right click, save as... date given. But thats only when the pic was saved, so could be alot older.
If the fight happens at 140 now, I reckon Khan stops him inside 6 rounds. Just feel he's too quick for Hatton's leaky defense. However, Khan has never looked convincing when having to fight inside so it would be a very interesting fight if Hatton has anything left. Would be a great fight for British boxing which would probably sell out Wembley Stadium.
**** off. Hatton should retire yes. But forgot he ever fought... he has had a fantastic career only losing to the very best. You tosser
i think khan has way too much speed for hatton now, and also hatton's durability to take punches is not what they once was. hatton might be able to land that punch, but i'm not sure if he can take three punches to land his one anymore. basically, hatton's defense is ****, and if he's lost his durability, then he's ****ed.
