Do you think after Hattons loss to pacquiao a good final fight would be against Khan. When asked about this fight ever happeneing Hatton said he wouldnt ever fight Khan and Khan said the same but frank warren said it could happen next year. It would be a massive fight and probably a safe bet for Hatton.
but , after the brutal beating he took on Saturday, is it a safe bet for Hatton any more..?
Depends on hatton, he beats no one with his hands down.
if hatton had 1 last fight againest khan they would both be retiren after the fight cause hatton would beat the shit out of khan and finish his carear
I disagree, Khan eats Hatton IMO at this stage
He has the reach advantage, hand speed, can box and he has enough pop in his punches to dispatch Hatton early should Ricky make the same mistake he did against the Pac man.
I think it's a distinct possibility, if Khan gets past Kotelnik it'll show he at least has a chance against Ricky. Kotelnik may not be top 3/4 in the division but he should be a good gauge.
Hatton would crush Khan but I said the same thing about Manny Pac. :-\
And Khan is ALSO trained by RoachQuote:

imagine how big this fight would be:o
probably the biggest british money spinner of all time
prob will happen if Ricky carries on...
Khan and Warren will think Hatton is done and take the fight.
Hatton will think Khan is an easy money maker and will take the fight.
safest fight out there for Hatton...but a massive comedown and would be sad to see IMO.
strange a difference a weekend makes :-X
I have no idea who would win this fight, and that says a lot about the decline of Hatton.
Why not, its really the most logical fight out there for Ricky by far
Its a big money fight, if he loses, oh well he was past it, and Khan doesn't have that much power IMO so it might still be a winnable fight for Ricky (that sounded kind of odd even as I typed it)
What else is he gonna do, fight Junior Witter, not likely. Imagine Hatton ending his career by getting stopped by Witter, nightmarish. Khan, meh not so much.
i dont think hattons got the chin for kahns accuracy tbh which says alot about how i think hes gone
we could all see it in the lazcano fight, he got tagged twice and almost went over from both
i love hatton and hate kahn and would wish hatton to knock kahn out, but i cant see it, how sad is that, Floyd took all the chin Hatton had left, if he took even one of those big crosses from floyd these days he would be on the floor
Hatton should just retire why risk getting beat by a khan or lesser fighter than a P4P#1 the losses to Mayweather and Pacquiao don't dent his legacy to much.
william hill got these odds for if this fight happens this year
hatton 4/11 -275
khan 2/1 +200
good odds thats amazing
but i agree with tysonbruno
hatton is 1-2 against p4p number ones
thats not bad at all
everyone else he has beaten
Even as at yesterday I though Hatton would be a sure thing for this one, but thinking further who knows now. All comes down to Hattons self beleif and confidence. Khan is cocky and would probably fancy it and the question is if Khan were to use his speed and reach would Ricky just rush in again and repeat past mistakes, think it comes down to Hatton controlling the red midst, and psyching out a much less experienced fighter.
One thing for sure, he needs to leave off the liefestyle he has and try and keep in good shape , not making excuses but compared to previous fights Hatton looked stringy last week and a bit more drawn looking in the face.
cant see hatton changing lifestyle this late in his careerQuote:

Yes Ricky has had a long hard career , but lets not forget Khan is not Pacman , and he has a glass jaw , so lets not think that because Hatton got koed that this suddenly makes Khan a great.
Its an interesting fight id pay to watch it.

I really like Hatton, as a fighter and as a person and do wish him well whatever. Ideally another title shot for the 140 and then walk away on top. But it's the merry go round scenario, he wins the next one and thinks oh well might as well keep going and then ends a journeyman......What a sport eh !!
One big advantage for Khan is having Freddie Roach in his corner... Roach has Hatton all figured out... What Khan needs to do is follow the gameplan to perfection...
.
I know what your saying Al i just don't think Hatton should put himself at risk of losing to a Khan he should retire with his only losses being to Mayweather and Pacquiao.Quote:

If hatton is guaranteed £5 million, at least, then he will do it.
Khan needs to win though - I know very little about Kotelnik or whatever he's called so not sure how likely that is ?
Kotelnik is better than most give him credit for he gave Witter a tough fight and M'baye infact their could be debate he beat both this is a tough fight for Khan.
Both vulnerable fighters. One is on the up the other is on the down. Anything could happen.
I've said before that Hatton would probably be too much for him but now Khan has Roach in his corner and Hatton will have the demons of the KO loss, it sorta evens it up.
If Hatton couldn't handle Pac's speed and accuracy then he's fucked basically. Khan is quicker and would be just as accurate especially if Hatton comes forward with his hands down/no head movement.
There's the chance that Hatton could KO Khan but i'm honestly not sure how much he has left to offer. Not saying he's a shot fighter but two KO losses and a style that has been meddled with make it a very difficult task for him.
I like both fighters so it would be both good and bad to watch. I'd be pulling for a Hatton win but at the same time British boxing gets a bigger boost from a Khan win.
I'd rather see Hatton hang em up to be honest. He's got nothing else to prove. Pac and Mayweather are complete freaks of the sport. He's been far too good for the alphabet champions at 10 stone but not quite good enough to beat the very very best. No shame whatsoever in that.
This could be an interesting fight with very little difference between the 2 boxers...
In fact the difference is only one round, Khan KO'ed in the 1st round and Hatton KO'ed in the 2nd round... Hmmnn, very exciting on who can KO who first...
Plus the fact that Khan seemed to handle Pac quite well in sparring. Will give him confidence.Quote:

It's still a very dangerous fight for Hatton imo. Khan may have a bad chin but he's a technically better fighter than Hatton. I don't think size and strenght factor will matter that much.
It's 50/50
