Hatton vs khan dec.2013

[Bobthepen]

I have always rated Brook, Khan and Hatton but for me Hatton is still head and shoulders above. Brook if he can sort his conditioning out can be a joy to watch, he just does not seem to have the knockout power to hold everyone off unless he is totally focused and able to sustain his workrate. That said it should not take too much to KO Amir. Khan though is no slouch when it comes to workrate but has nothing like an Ingle fighters innate knowlege of defending with movement. Hatton on the other hand can Bang and would be all over either of them like a nasty rash and even up at Welter could stop either. Just my opinion obviously.

Can Hatton bang at Welter? based on what, failing to knock out any of his two opponents at that weight?

Hatton was never a banger at 140lbs, he ground down opponents. Pacquiao showed what happens when Hatton goes charging in against a quick hard puncher, and Brook is that.
Brook is an arrogant bastard. He refused to hire a nutritionist for his last few fights as he wants a bigger slice of the pie, and stated "How hard can nutrition be" He answered his own question, and in a big money fight I would guarantee he would get one on board and perform much better than he has done previously.

Go easy on the Hatton hopes because we really don't know where he is at. I worry about him with his talk of Pac and Mayweather rematches. We should all hold our horses a little bit and hope he wins this one first.

I'm a massive Hatton fan too, but those two losses burnt a lot and should really have burnt Hatton a lot too. Easy steps first.
