Clazaghe wont fight froch/woods, hatton wont fight khan/witter
Fella i don't really see that Hatton in the US is seen as much more than "Damaged Goods" and who's he gonna fight and wheres he gonna go and more to the point would the big players wanna touch him....don't think so after what Pac did?
And to say he'd make pennies in a 50-60,000 plus domestic mega fight is crazy.
Hatton would take a huge slice of ticket sales etc and make a fortune.
Maybe not with Witter but with Khan they'd both make loads.
Hatton More so
I think your underestimating his pulling power here:-\
In other words you have no answer. I ain't no Con fan. But he does have some power. More so than Lazcano I think. So if Lazcano can wobble Hatton bad enough to the point he had the ref tie his shoe to buy time, I see no reason Con can't do the same. It's one thing to be a fan of the guy. It's another to be a dumb ass groupie who says idiotic shitt likeQuote:

I suggest you head to the pac forum. Youve much more chance of getting more bites than you will on here:bashtroll4cx4:
"Hatton will end his career infront of 70,000 brits by rebecoming the light welterweight champion of the world". :vd:
In order for him to become Light Welterweight champion he would have to beat the guy who massacred him. Manny Pacquiao. While eveybody (including Hatton's family) knows he has no chance against him. Your actually stupid enough to think he does.

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!!
Hatton fighting Khan is a far bigger fight than anything HBO would come up with even without the probable HBO/Showtime license fee for the fight. Hatton is no longer a PPV attraction and Hatton vs. Bradley or similar would maybe get a one million dollar licence fee. They'd pay a smaller licence fee for Hatton Khan but they'd sell a stadium out and do big business on Sky Box Office. If Hatton is after money, and he is, Khan is the biggest money fight out there for him by a country mile.Quote:

When did Khan become a super star i know Hatton is on the slided he got ko'ed in his last fight.Khan got ko'ed in the first round not so long ago and his best win is against a shot MAB moving up a weight.
80-90% of the British boxing public don't have a clue about the relative merits of foreign boxers. They know Khan won an Olympic medal and beat a Mexican legend, they don't know or care he got legendary for fights a decade ago almost a stone lighter than he is now. The bottom line is Khan shifts tickets, it doesn't really matter who he's beaten, it's how many bums on seats can he do.Quote:

Hatton has gone from top 10 PFP to bum of the week in the space of two, admittedly awful, rounds. He hasn't quite become that bad, he just fought a stupid, stupid fight against Manny who is quite possibly a bit better than Amir. :-XQuote:

Im a big Khan supporter and would be routing for him in this fight but imo he doesnt stand a chance. He is no where near ready for Ricky even at this stage of Ricky's career.
If you think Warren will put Khan in with Hatton you must be bonkers, not for another 2 -3 years untill Ricky is completly washed up. This is just all talk to get more publicty for Khan. I think Khan has the potential to beat Ricky handidly but just hasnt got the experience or chin at this stage of his career to hold back Hatton. If Khan was 25-26yrs old Vs Ricky now i would pick him to win.
I think Khan would win. I'm not so much into the stoppage thing but Hatton is an unintelligent fighter. He fights like a pitbull and is easy to figure out. Hatton hasn't seen a lot of speed as in the likes of Pac, PBF, Khan, and Judah. I think all of them matchup well against Hatton. Not that Khan is a better fighter but this would be a good matchup for Hatton. Hatton may beat better guys than what Khan can at this point but Hatton matches up wrong against Khan. Plus, there is no telling where his confidence is right now. Let alone his chin. The only thing for certain with Hatton is that he'll fight the same as in all fights.
it really hurts me to say this but if khan fights the right fight i think he could embarass hatton with his speed. i love hatton hes been my favourite fighter for a long time but he needs to retire. i dont think i could face him losing to khan

Everybody keeps going on about Hatton's body attack but everytime he tries to land it he is open to counters to the head plus apart from Castillo i can't remember Hatton landing to the body all that often.
Seriously think Khan would take Hatton out inside 6 rounds.
Tough to call but if Hatton fought like he did against Pac he's a sitting duck and Khan will land at will.
Amir was a big lightweight too and claims he's way stronger and more natural at Light Welter.
We'll know more in a few weeks :cool:
