    Both massive draws in the UK, Hatton a big draw world-wide. If these two ever met in the UK, most probably at Wembley, where capacity is 90,000, would they sell it out?

    I think so. So many people want Ricky to do well again and Khan's popularity has plummeted over the last year or so, but I suppose we'll have to see how Ricky does in his comeback fight. How do you see it playing out?

    No i dont think so,i think it would be better suited to Man City's football ground,a manchester lad vs a nearby Bolton lad..

    I think those 2 could sellout any arena in England. I'm and American so I have no idea if there are any bigger arenas in GB. But if there are, they could totally pull it off...I really wish the US fans were as numerous and passionate about Boxing as UK fans are. The way they support their fighters so enthusiastically would be so much fun to be a part of.

    I think they could easily but as someone above has already stated as northern lads I'd expect it to be at City's ground

    90,000 is a bit much but it would do good numbers if they both get a decent run of wins behind them in the build up.

    Depends how Hatton looks.... we have no idea really how he is going to look... the main problem is that he was losing his punch resistance towards the end ( he was badly stunned in the Lazcano fight and given unfair time by the ref)
