    Hatton roughs Khan up and gives him a beating. Hatton is too quick on his feet, closes the distance well, and Khan doesnt have the footwork/generalship to keep it where he wants on the outside.

    I'm not saying this just because of Saturday. I've always picked Hatton to beat Khan. A better fighter, and also a terribly tough style matchup for Khan anyway.

    Ricky's roughhousing would be a stylistic nightmare for Khan.There are fighters with more ability than Ricky who would be easier for Khan,but this would be a nightmare for him.
    He would be the pantomime villain too and I'm not sure he could handle that.Right or wrong,Ricky could announce a comeback tomorrow and the British public would buy in hook,line and sinker.
    Just can't see past Ricky here,even if Khan KO'd Peterson in one.Saturday only made this one even easier to pick.

    Hattons feet and hands are too fast. His biggest strength is Khans biggest weakness.. Hatton would close the distance and give him a beating.


    I dont think Khan is at his peak yet though

    I'd put my bet on Hatton by KO. His inside mugging game would cause serious issues for Khan.
