Should Amir Khan Be Ranked Ahead Of Ricky Hatton At 140?

i agree that amir shouldn't be ahead of hatton, but calling amir khan one dimensional is laughable when the guy is always moving.

 

Seeing as how everybody hates Khan and loves Hatton, I get the feeling we're going to get some skewered sides here.

Hatton should be ranked ahead but if Hatton is out until the summer time and Khan beats JMM, a switch wouldn't be too out of the realm of possibility.

 

I can't think of much Khan has done at 140 that Hatton hasn't exceeded. Hatton has one loss at 140..to Pacquiao. I'd love to see what Pacquiao would do to Kahn....

So Hatton has accomplished much more than Khan at 140...and is still the better fighter of the two, imo. Hatton can take a punch, and while he's been down, it's against excellent fighters who hit him with shots he didn't see. Shots which probably would have dropped anyone. Khan has been down from some of the least impressive shots I've ever seen a fighter floored by. Prescott nearly dropped him with a jab for christ's sake!

This leads me to believe that Hatton would murder Khan if they ever met in the ring. Khan is severely overrated and will likely be brutally exposed more than once as he steps up his competition.

 

I voted yes. Honestly think that at this point in their careers Khan is a better fighter. That they could fight 10 different kinds of opponents in their next fights and Khan would fare better than Hatton against any one of them. Hatton is coming off one of those devastating losses. The type where you don't wanna do a post fight interview just in case the fighter has some permanent damage. To top it off last pic I saw of him he looked more like kirby than a boxer.

Khan has been steadily improving and his last 2 performances have been solid. I see no reason why he wouldn't be even better at this point and even more comfortable at 140.

Feb 2010: Khan > Hatton @ 140

If they fought I'd expect Khan to be the favorite too.

 

No, Ricky's only lost to the two current best fighters in the world while Khan is not fighting Maidana.

 

I see your point although I disagree with it.

The way I see it is that, taking everything into consideration, at this point in their careers I believe that Khan is a better JrWW than Hatton. By my criteria thats enough for Khan to be ranked above Hatton.

Obviously its subjective. Hopefully Khan and Hatton will prove me right in the not too distant futur. Lets wait and see.

 

Nice tight division. But how the hell do Khan and Bradley rate higher than hatton? I agree to an extent with inactivity, but who has Khan fought at Light Welter, and likewsie with Bradley. That chap is seriously over rated and has fought the lower end of this class. Witter would have given him some hard times had he been on his game.

Saying Bradley is no 2 is like saying Eddie Chambers is no 2 in the Heavy's.

 

because he beat the champ and would easily beat all the other contenders.

 

Stick a fork in Hatton folks. I picked Khan for the simple fact that Hatton will never again be in a fight that will mean anything at 140. Zero, zilch, nothing. I'm thoroughly overjoyed that I dont have to sit through another bull**** hook n hold Hatton fight. He sucks a **** and so does Man City.

 

I agree with this. Hatton's only been beaten by great fighters and the worlds best P4P

 

Hatton should be but many people doubt he will come back and even if he does many people doubt he can still make 140.
