Amir Khan v Ricky Hatton

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

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.
