Ricky Hatton v Amir Khan

Khan would frustrate Hatton early and pepper him with jabs from range...Hatton forces himself on Khan late and grinds him down, stops him late

 

Even though you're a witter fan, I knew you couldn't be that deluded

 

I immediately thought double knockout.

But really, Hatton brings too much pressure.

 

how much did you REALLY love hatton if you can honestly pick Khan to win over 12 rounds thanks to handspeed alone? Hatton would ****ing kill khan

 

Yeah handspeed really doesn't come into this fight,If the Hatton that beat Tzsyu turns up Khan wouldn't see the second half of the fight. **** it, any version of peak Hatton that turns up would destroy Khan. Khan doesn't hit hard enough to deter him. It would be a relentless beating, look how far Khans handspeed got him against Garcia,Peterson and Maidana, sure he beat Maidana and arguably Peterson but they were all able to walk through his fast flurries and make it a hard night for him, peak Hatton makes it ****ing brutal.

 

The only chance Khan would have is shooting Ricky with a rifle and hoping the ref didn't notice.

 

he does seem to be under rated these days hatton, he had already slipped somewhat by the time he fought the magic man yet his destruction of paulie was far more impressive that that of khan's or cotto's for that matter.

 

Hatton via KO seems logical at the minute but I don't like making snap judgements just after a fight, they're always distorted.

Kosta aside, had Ricky beaten anyone as good as Khan? Let's not forget that Amir was a unified champion.

 

Hatton would savage him. Khan has NO inside game at all. That is why Peterson caused him so many problems and Peterson is nothing like the inside fighter Hatton was. Hatton also had good footwork, moved his head and would have cut the ring off very quickly.

Does Khan have enough power to really slow him down and keep him away? No. That jab would land but Hatton would be moving in quickly and backing Khan up. He hit hard enough to the head with the left hook too and Khans idea of defence is to lean on the ropes and hold his arms in front of him.

Hatton was outclassed twice and in the pac fight he was not peak and it showed with how poor he was against Lazcano. In fact when you go back and look at the changes he tried to make in the Malignaggi fight and got praised for, in reality it was just a less effective version of himself.

The Hatton from around the Tsyzu fight time, before and just after would have destroyed Paulie much faster. His **** lifestyle caught up with him and even the best version of him would have lost to PBF and Manny convincingly anyway.

But Khan? Khan gets torn to bits.

 

Spot on analysis :good

 

they may yet fight???

 

but how good is khan lilo,personally like many have said he is good but not that good,he has been found wanting at world level.
i could name a few on hattons record who are as good as khan but i would spell the ****ers wrong :twisted:

oh aye,sorry,hatton by early stoppage,but the hatton of now would more than likely lose

 

Khan is still very, very good as his achievements show. Kotelnyk, Malignaggi and Judah performances were excellent.

Hatton wasn't KOing many at world level and was always given problems by handspeed.

We obv rate Khan differently but for me he would be the 3rd best fighter Hatton has faced.

I'm just giving the Khan side here BTW, as I think Hatton is getting so many picks as a kneejerk reaction to Khan's loss.

 

Hatton would be all over amir like a rash
I wouldnt be suprised if khan jumped out the ring
Hatton by brutal KO inside 3 rounds

 

Hatton is getting so many picks because its soooooo ****ing obvious khan has NO chin, **** on the inside and doesn't like pressure.
Whats hatton good at? Cutting off the ring, amazing footwork, ruthless inside pressure fighting...it doesn't take a genius to know the outcome of this fight does it :deal
