Ricky Hatton vs Amir Khan at 140

Hatton KO win by crippling body shot.

 

Hatton KO in under 8 rounds.

 

Prime Hatton would win by stoppage. Past Prime but before the Pacquiao fight Hatton would win on points.

 

Depends on what kind of ref you get. Hatton used to get away with so much.

 

Against Micky van Hatton
Depends if khan let's him get close

 

Hatton too strong in the end although in the early rounds I think Ricky would get caught quite a lot trying to close the distance.

 

Would have to say Hatton - underated boxing skills. Speed does not equal skills. He put a clinic on malignaggi with the jab when past prime, when everyone thought he’d get outboxed.

I’d say Hatton by KO given Khan’s whiskers...

Would be a fight I’d watch though as could be an edge of your seat fight with Khan holding on in some rounds but just about keeping his nose in front like the Maidana fight. Ricky had more skills than Maidana though and Khan isn’t mayweather...

 

In their primes, I'd go Hatton.

 

Hatton by brutal ko

 

Khan doesn't have the ring IQ to keep a swarming prime Hatton off him. Hatton KO within 6.

 

Hatton brutalizes krystal Khan by 7th. Too strong and relentless for the glass chinned one.

 

Khan has the attributes to beat Hatton, namely speed and size. However, he hasn't got the brain. Sooner or later, prime Hatton gets inside and shatters the glass.

 

We all know Khan's flaws, but he was no joke at 140. He got past Maidana, taking lots of punishment along the way. Even in his losses, he won more rounds on the cards than he lost.

Hatton wasn't a big one punch knockout artist (at least not to the head), which was the consistent method of beating Khan throughout his career.

There's a chance that Hatton lands a big one and takes Khan out, but it's probably the less likely scenario. I think it would really depend on how quickly Hatton could close the distance and get to Khan. Once Khan slowed down Hatton would probably start walking him down and roughing him up like Peterson did. On balance this is likely to happen before the halfway stage, which suggests that Hatton would win a decision.

 

This is the paradox of boxing.

Khan is better on almost every area of the sport yet somehow Hatton would destroy him.

I can see it being a bit like the Danny Garcia fight only it being around the 8th - 10th with Hatton way behind on points.
