    The spotlight on boxing would be huge.... that's usually a good thing.

    2 of ther worst chins in boxing for a long time, I take the improving Kahn to crack Hatton's eggy chin first, inside 4 rounds.
    Khan KO 3.

    Nah, Hatton is done. I'd rather Khan fight his way up and defend his title against other good active fighters.

    You also took Malignaggi to crack that "eggy" chin which stood up to Kostya Tszyu's bombs for 11 rounds so that says it all about how seriously you should be taken!!! ****ing tool!

    I would really like to see this fight happen. I think it would be a fantastic spectacle for British boxing and has the potential to be a good fight. If Hatton is fit and, more importantly, wants to continue boxing then this seems an ideal option.

    It's okay for global boxing - although it doesn't mean that much.

    It's MAGNIFICENT for British boxing - the exposure this fight would get if marketed and advertised well would be insane.

    It's horrific for race relations.
