Amir Khan v Ricky Hatton

[erics44]

I think Hatton wins, probably by KO maybe by UD


I just think there is a weakness about khan and its not just his chin, he doesn't seem physically strong enough for the top level and the chin obviously doesn't help


its possible he could move his way to a decision but I think a prime hatton would catch up to him

Khan was very good at 140lb and he was reckless against Maidana but showed a lot of heart and desire. With his current trainer Virgil Hunter and discipline to just box and not have a war he would cause Ricky a lot of problems.

As stated by Mark, who normally knows very little about boxing, Hatton was not a big single puncher like Prescott or Garcia. Unless Hatton lands that left hook to the body I do not see Ricky stopping Khan.

hatton koed enough fighters to suggest he could do the same to khan

[Gandalf]

My thoughts are that Hatton would have tired Khan out by constantly cutting off the ring and working the body. Then when the moment comes, I think Khan goes down with a shot to the head. It would perhaps be a scrappy looking performance from Hatton, maybe a bit like the Maussa showing where he struggles to look good against the gangly, awkward fighter, but the tenacity would show through in the end.

Khan has shown that he can look good in the first few rounds against anyone, but if you have grit and a bit of pop, you can grind him down or bop him out eventually. His stamina isn't all that and he has a low ring IQ.

Khan had stamina, focus, and chin issues throughout his career. All three are significant detriments against Hatton. Ricky savages Khan, breaks his will, and stops him within 8.
