Hatton is going to hold a high guard against Khan like Kotelnik did. As soon as Khan lets his hands go, Hatton is in trouble. I think it would be interesting for a few rounds but once Khan establishes his range, Hatton would be in big trouble.

Also bare in mind Khan has Roach in his corner. Hatton has Lee Beard.
Hatton is streets ahead of Kotelnik and although the gameplan might be similar,Hatton has the ability and skill to deliver it...Kotelnik was trying to force a fight he was unable to control because of his inability to adapt in an attacking style..he was picked off!

Hatton would be coming in at angles throwing small combinations,working the body and be relentless.

The only way Khan wins is if he catches Hatton with a Corker in the first round because Hatton is so much more of a complete fighter than Khan, he'd have taken the numerous openings Khan gave to Kotelnik with his low hands on the way out of an attack and would have put him down and probably out!

Khan fought well and TBH I thought he'd have got beat lastnight...but lets not pretend he's beaten a real Great Champion in Kotelnik..he was an efficient fighter at best!
Good post.

If Hatton is 80% of what he can be Khan gets blown out within 9. Khan wins a few early rounds, Hatton begins to dismantle him step by step.
