Thread: Hatton v Khan - who wins?

Ok theres a LOT of speculation going around about this and Amir was asked this at the 20/20 Cricket final yesterday and said he would love this fight.

Massive for the UK and a Stadium fight for sure

If Khan can get past Kotelnik then i see this happening as it would catapult Ricky back to a title and give him the UK fight his fans want to see.

And theres one Man who will bust a gut to make this happen....cough ... Frank Warren!

And if Witter comes through and regains a strap we could be in for another domestic showdown again for a world strap.




'The Hitman' has yet to announce a decision on his future after slumping to the second defeat of his career against pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao in May but, according to Khan, his party is trying to make it happen.
"A lot of people are building it up and, after Ricky's defeat, Ricky wants to come back and get a big win so we're just going to leave it with the promoters," Khan told Sky Sports.
"It's a fight that could happen and what a massive fight it would be in Britain.
"I'm just going to leave it with the promoters. At the moment I'm going my way and he's going his, but if the fight happens I think it'll be brilliant."

So if it happens who would you go for?

I'd have this as a pick em all day long and may even side with Amir.

I think his speed alone could be too much for Ricky at this stage in his career.

Really do think this would be a brilliant fight.

I'm slowly coming around to this. I would dearly love for Hatton to knock him out in a really brutal manner. If Hatton has anything left he should dispose of an amateur like Khan. I'm not sold on this supposed improved model of Khan whatsoever and I'm not entirely convinced that Hatton is as done as the Pac fight might suggest.

It's a fight that could well happen and I think Hatton should take it. Hatton is no slouch and I have no reason to doubt that Hatton can get inside and unload quick and hard. Khan shouldn't be able to stand up to a Hatton mauling. It all depends on how much Hatton has left.

If Hatton actually boxes, unlike against Pac, he would destroy Khan's body. If he does the same thing thaty he did against Pac he gets knocked out again. I would love him to beat Khan but it depends on his frame of mind and how much weight he has put on since the Pac fight.

Listen you lot think outside the box for a bit here...

This is as much a potential fight Between Hatton and Warren as it is Hatton v Khan

Boxing ain't just about Sport

I would like Khan to finish another meaningful fight before making my final statement but for the moment, I would slightly lean toward him as Hatton has something to prove before I would give him the edge again.

I still think Ricky has too much for Khan at this stage, would would love to see the fight

I certainly got an idea of how this one pans out but I just wanna see Kahn against Kotelnik first........

One thing is for sure is that Kahn would run and Hatton would follow.....

As much as I hate to say it I think Khan wins - Speed kills.

ricky beats khan even after 7 guinesses, large fish and chips and even a bottle of bourbon

Dont get me wrong. Khans a class operator on his day. But there are only 3-4 men that would even get close to hatton on his day and khan isnt even near that level yet!

Hatton can't deal with speed, he was even getting caught by Malignaggi. The Collazo, Mayweather & Pacquiao fights showed a steady decline of a guy getting slower & struggling against opponents with quick hands. Also he's at a stage where he just won't listen & at some point he'll try to brawl & end up just getting repeatedly clocked. I think Khan beats him for a couple of rounds before the ref stops it by TKO around the 7th round. I fear for Miles' mental health should Khan beat Hatton

Hatton been in with much speedier, clever exponents than amir khan and come out on top.

I dont buy into the whole hatton is past his prime. His reactions may of slowed down a tad but he`s still only 30 and with 12 weeks solid training he`d make khan look very silly!!

Is this the same Khan/Hatton who wouldn't fight because they're friends?

Khan gets lucky, Hatton gets ko'd badly (by his other mate) and all of a sudden Khan is up for a big £ fight?

Apart from Malignaggi who? & Khan has handspeed on the level wit PBF & Pac, certainly quicker than Malignaggi or Collazo. Morales was also only 30, fact is different fighters age differently. Hatton took big shots off some of the best, and its got to a point where he's paying for it & his lifestyle outside the ring

Amir Khan may have the speed, but he doesn't punch like Manny Pacquiao. He doesn't have Floyd Mayweather Jr's defense. He doesn't have anywhere near either guys chin, and he can be hurt to the body as Michael Gomez showed.

I think it depends on how Ricky Hatton does in the early rounds, if he can get past the early flurries by Amir Khan. I full expect Ricky Hatton to give Amir Khan a beating to the body and stop him in about the 8th round.

Im suprised people are picking Amir Khan so easily, when he has such a fragile chin. Beating an old undersized MAB who was a bloody mess in the opening seconds, who didn't even have a chance to get into the fight. Plus the fight should of been No-Conest, didn't really impress me at all.
