Re: Khan v Mathew hatton!
Oh look, another pointless, whiny Khan bashing thread, moaning about something that hasn't even happened...
Some of you guys are mentals.
Since when has Khan been taking easy fights? He's not the number 1 rated guy at 140lbs according to the Ring magazine because he's fighting nobodies. He's fighting the best and beating the best.
Peterson is another continuation of that, very solid fighter and Khan is travelling to his back yard.
Here's an idea, why not wait until Khan moves up and actually names an opponent before you all bitch about who it is.

Hopefully people give Khan some respect when he goes up to 147 and fights Kell Brook instead of Matthew Hatton. Thats a dangerous fight.
Re: Khan v Mathew hatton!
Khan should fight Kell Brook IMO, domestically its a much better and challenging fight. Khan would beat Hatton faily easily I think.

This fight would not be fair on Kell Brook. He needs a challenging fight in the top 10 before he takes on the elites of a devision.
I agree that Matt Hatton would be a waste of time. Khan should go straight to the top and fight Berto, Ortiz, Mosley or Mike Jones.
What should realy happen is that Khan and Bradley should fight and whoever wins should take on either Pac or Mayweather.

I think for a fighter like Kell Brook he could do with fighting Khan for a high risk fight which potentially could go either way for him. He has got talent, and if he risked that to try and land a big fight with khan you never know how it could go. As a 147 fighter he is good and for the uk fans it would be a much better fight than a Hatton showdown.
I do understand what you mean that it wouldnt be fair for Kell Brook to take a big risk, because Amir Khan is a very good fighter and the loss could potentially ruin his career because he does have the capability to grow stronger in the 147 weight class. But if Amir is planning on having a UK fight I would prefer it to be against Brook not Hatton.
But Kell is a top ranked 147 fighter now and he should be reaching high.

I don't understand how the risk would be worth it for Khan either.
He's only been at 140 for a few fights, and if he moved to 147 it would be for one reason...Floyd Mayweather.
It would be a stupid move imo to fight a really live guy as a tune up for Floyd. Why risk getting derailed and seeing your multi million pound payday go up in smoke?
For what exactly? If he fought Brook and won, well Brook was unproven, probably not world class after all. If he fought and lost, then no Floyd fight.
I don't understand the logic of some fans on this site. What they really want is for Amir to lose. And thus they want him to face the guy that they think poses the biggest threat to upsetting him. Hatton is no good, Khan will easily win that, so let's go with Brooks, more chance of an upset.
But Khan doesn't want to be upset right before a megafight with Floyd. It would be a pointless risk. He can fight Floyd, and then fight Brook after.
To his absolute credit however Amir has never ducked any fighter. He took on the biggest puncher in the weight class in Maidana. He then offered Bradley an unprecedented 50/50 split to fight him even though he generates around 80 percent of the income and now he's fighting Peterson, in Peterson's back yard.
He's more likely to go for Brook anyway, as his heart overules his head.
But Hatton would be a sensible choice for a test the water fight at 147. He has the rest of his career after a Floyd fight to take on Kell Brook.
Re: Khan v Mathew hatton!
FIghters almost always take a soft touch when moving up in weight. Floyd Mayweather fought Shamba fucking Mitchell in his first fight at 147 for Christsakes. If this was about anyone other than Khan we'd just be talking about how interested we were in seeing how he looks in a new weight class.

He should be taking risks against good fighters because he is at the stage where he should be fighting good fighters every time. Beating Hatton at 147 proves nothing, beating Brook does. Brook is a top ranked fighter, Hatton isnt. I think Khan has enough class to get by Brook and he should take the risk IMO. I think a victory over Brook would be good for Khans resume, hes an undeafted prospect that brings something to the table.
Re: Khan v Mathew hatton!
Basically, what Bilbo says makes sense. Why the fuck would he fight Brook?

If Khan went.....Peterson, Bradley (or a move up to 147 if Bradley won't take the fight), Hatton, Brook, Mayweather, i'd be fairly happy with that.

I do understand what you are saying but you can look at Hatton and think as to why he should fight him? Hatton has no title, or no real names on his record. Fair enough it would be a keep busy fight and a victory for Khan however I just feel even if Brook doesnt have a title he would be a better win for Khan prior to a potential Mayweather show down. I do feel Khan does need to fight Peterson and clear up the 140 weight class with a fight with Bradley, which would be a strong test for Khan. Lets hope Brook can have a big fight next and build a stronger name, would be good to see him in with Khan in the near future.

Yeah Brook would look better on his resume, but Hatton would probably be better for his bank balance....or at least comparable. There's just no rush for him to fight Brook yet as Brook's still making his name. He might aswell fight him when he's a household name, in a unification fight for a lot more money. Much less risk and much bigger reward.
