Hatton Khan

[Hunter]

I wouldnt mind seeing this fight. Obviously Hatton is no longer the fighter he used to be, but he can still bang. I do think after seeing Khan yesterday he will probably take Hatton to a decision. Khan will just dance around and use his jab, fast reflexes and long arms to keep hatton at bay.

To be honest i think Ricky Hatton's been on the downslide for quite awhile, i know his chin has never been granite. But his terrible life style has caught up to him, and i think he's punch resistance has gone. And i think even mentally he could be ready to go, after two embarrassing KO losses.

Ricky Hatton also doesn't deal well with fast fighters, i think this is a pick em. Ricky Hatton is good at closing the distance down. And when he gets on the inside the body shots are a thing of beauty. And i think he has the power to KO Amir Khan.

But the negative's for Ricky Hatton, is that despite his experience his defense has got actually got worse. He doesn't bob and weave, he leaps in with punches. And his own punch resistance lately has been shakey aswell, i can see Amir Khan countering Ricky Hatton. When he leaps in widly.

But its certainly a 50/50 match up depending on how much Ricky Hatton has left.

Khan would have landed 90 percent of his punches last night if he fought Hatton. That's all I can say.

[Drago]

I would see hatton winning by early KO or khan winning by late stoppage, but i wouldnt be putting any money on the fight it really is a 50/50 well depending on how hatton fares against next opponent if he meets anyone before khan

seems like khan would be up for it

Yeah that really is how I see it going; Ricky would fare better early on, he would have to. Like Asian Sensation said basically he'd of been eating alot of punches last night; but though he does seem to wade in and gets tagged alot I can see him being way more effective and keeping Khan locked up better than Kotelnik, and not just letting Khan get off all night without hurting Khan's body. But in a long fight; unless Hatton can keep him from that pace he could end up a mess, cause' he block punches with his face unlike Kotelnik. I said 60/40 but it probably is more 50/50.

I'd love to see how the Brit crowd would side on this; I'm assuming more in favor of Hatton. Wonder how Khan would take that Those things do matter sometimes.

He coped with the Barrera fight & the Hatton weigh in where he was racially abused en masse, so I think he would be fine. I'd actually be interested to see how much support Khan had. If it was even audible when he came out it might affect Hatton more, as he's never had to deal with any hostility at his fights. But, I suspect it would be about 80/20 in Hatton's favour. I still reckon this is a 50/50 fight, but if Hatton comes out anything like he did against Pacquiao then Khan will avoid him & probably take him out in the middle to late rounds

So in the Barrera fight he was roote against? I didn't see it. It would really be interesting to see how Hatton dealt with a Brit crowd that had more than a air share of Khan supporters. It eally could be a fun fight; just for he crowd alone You guys are rabid sometimes.
