colinmk Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Amir Khan has stated for the first time that he wants a "tear-up" with Ricky Hatton, having recently denied he had any intention of fighting the 30-year-old former two-weight world champion. Would like to see it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Khan needs to fight Prescott again, although no doubt he'll dodge him for as long as he can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Ricky may have taken a couple of beatings recently, but I'd be amazed if he didn't hand Khan his arse on a plate if they ever fought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Can't stand either but would think Hatton has operated at a different level to Khan. Like someone said earlier - he's got to put Prescott to bed first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Khan would beat Hatton I reckon. Of course we'll have to see how he deals with the weight against Kotelnik but Hatton is nowhere near as quick as Prescott and doesn't have his reach either. If Hatton stands still like he did against Manny, Khan would pick him off. Hatton would always have a punchers chance against someone with a chin like Khan but lets not forget that Khan is coaching by the best in the world whilst Hatton is being coaching by no-one.

Anthnufc Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hatton would win. Khan got beat by a brawler (prescott) who he will never ever beat again. And he makes a comeback fight with barrera if you can call that a fight, yes he got the win by TD but it doesnt prove khan is a good fighter as the fight needed to be a rematch to have any credability at all. I cant see him beating Kotelnik and if he does I defiantly cant see him beating Dmitry Salita. Khan is a good fighter but i dont think he is the UKs next big fighter.

Kimbo Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 My money would actually be on Khan, i'm not a fan of his and i'll be rooting for Kotelnik when they fight, but i just don't think Hatton has much to offer anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatton has alot to offer he just cant make the jump into beating really really good fighters . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW1983 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just cant see Khan being able to take Hatton's punches, would like to see his crappy smile wiped off his horrible little face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Khan's glass jaw would be all over the floor in round 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Khan's speed and power would be too much for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Quite like Khan but I think if Hatton fought like the animal he can be then Khan would get destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatton has alot to offer he just cant make the jump into beating really really good fighters . Has Hatton beaten good fighters before though? IMO he's only fought bums, nobodies and over-the-hill fighters (like Kostya Tsyzu) before taking on two pound-for-pound champs and being made to look like a boy fighting against men. There are plenty of good fighters in the 140/147 who'd wipe the floor with Hatton imo, because he's not a good enough boxer. He could, and should, have fought some of these guys before considering taking on the likes of Pacquiao and Mayweather, but then that would mean fighting against better boxers without the purse being anything like as big as it was against those two.

Skirge Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Old Hatton would have killed him but now am not so sure IMO Ricky should just retire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Khan has speed and power, Hatton can't deal with it Mayweather and Manny both destroyed him. Lets not forget that Khan is now being trained by the best in the world and has done alot of sparring work with Manny. Khan would wipe the floor with him in 5. It would be like watching the de la Hoya and Manny fight imo. No contest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Khan is a different fighter since joining the American camp. Freddie Roach is one of the best trainers in the business and Khan's defence which was non-existent before looks pretty solid now. I think Hatton would end up KO'd, he's been flattened a couple of times now, admittedly by great fighters, but it's still a worrying pattern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not sure how it would go, although I'd love to see Hatton kick the shit out of Khan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Why does everyone hate Khan and like Hatton? They're both odious cunts who think they're quality when in fact they're somewhat average. At least Khan doesn't think he's the best in the world or refer to himself in the third person like Fatton does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
