Would you favor a Amir Khan vs. Ricky Hatton fight down the road?

[leftylee]

Hatton wont be able to handle Khan's speed at this point IMO.

hang on just a minute...............


did saddo just post a non-pac related thread





this is fucking scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have tendency to say the same... I think that being hit too often just blew his gas tank and that any important fights at this stage would be way too dangerous for him.

hatton in his prime would destroy khan and i get the feeling khans reluctancy to box off the back foot would get him into big trouble if he fought hatton.

Ricky wont fight again UNLESS its a mega rich showdown in the states again.

Whether his sellability would be enough to convince HBO to put him in with a mayweather or marquez is another question. A final hurrah in manchester against bradley is the only other logical fight left for ricky

omfg. Do you honestly believe Khan has the punching power to ko Hatton?
He has gone back to his amateur style. He is not at all accurate for the number of punches he throws and does not have top level power...people must really think Hatton has gone down the shitter and in a big way.

And I ain't a Hatton fan

ive no doubts khan has the power to KO a top level fighter like hatton given the chance.

But there are too many questions over his ability to adapt and his chin for me to believe he is ever going to be an A grade fighter like hatton is.

Losing to the 2 best p4ps in the world does not make you an average fighter. A well conditioned, well prepared ricky hatton would walk through amir khan and make him look very silly!!

inevitable if Khan wins the belt

I don't want to see it. It would give Khan instant credibility and I swear some people would claim he is P4P. Khan has taken an easy root to a world title shot and while I see it as a smart move, I think he's taking the piss out of the boxing fan. If he beats Kotelnik, he should fight Ortiz or move back to lightweight and fight a live body. Ricky shouldn't fight on, especially against a fighter with great handspeed who is trained by Freddie Roach.

you know that one decent shot Hatton landed on Pac? That's all it would take to send Khan to the canvas. If a past his best and out of his weight class fighting with blurred vision Barrera can send him wonky do people really think Hatton wouldn't be able to topple him?

I'm not convinced Hatton would have the desire to train properly for the fight. Its all about motivation and what would Hatton get for wiining apart from the payday? Khan gets instant recognition and he looked fucking slow against Pac. I think Roach would tell Khan to box and run and I think Hatton would telegraph his shots too much. As a Hatton fan I would be pissed if Khan made his name this way because the world knows that a prime Ricky would kill Amir. Khan needs to fight a live body.

I fully understood you're great worry of Ricky fighting Amir Khan... Khan has a great speed and is trained by Coach Freddie Roach who already has the blueprint on how to KO Ricky Hatton... All Khan has to do is follow the game plan to perfection...

Roach had previously told the boxing media that Hatton will be hammered by Pacquiao within three rounds and then fight Amir Khan at a sold out stadium in the UK. The first of Freddie's prediction had already happened. The second is slowly shaping up.
A few days before Hatton's devastating loss to Pacquiao, Roach told the Telegraph the following prophetic statements: "Hatton is close to the end of his career. If Manny does what I think he will do to Hatton, and if it all goes to plan, we will knock him out and bust him up. If that does happen, I would say Amir is close to a fight with Ricky, which is a huge fight in the U.K, a sell out. It's two fights away [for Amir]."

Roach's talk is not just talk anymore. It is slowly shaping up into reality. British boxing fans had been blogging about a possible Hatton- Khan fight. Just last week, David Haye has been very vocal about Hatton having a farewell fight with Khan in front of thousands of fans.

"The Ricky- Amir fight will be like Oscar De la hoya beating Chavez Sr. It is like a young guy beating up an old guy. " says Roach in a recent interview by The Broad,an eblogger. "I know Ricky is a tough guy. It would be an interesting fight. But I dont think Ricky have the tools at this point of his life to beat Amir."

Ricky looked so poor in his last fight. No chin , no actical awareness etc that it wouldnt surprise me if a complete bum like Amir could beat him.

1 on the way up . 1 on the way down . Ricky should have took the hint after the Lazcano fight that he didnt have it anymore.

In a way though, I'm glad he carried on and beat Paulie, who was widely considered the #2 at 140 at the time. But at the same time it gave him dillusions he could beat Pacquiao, so maybe you're right.

Ricky Hatton Sucks .................. over rated unskilled fighter . Khan sucks too ...
