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
BBC SPORT | Boxing | Khan would fight 'friend' Hatton
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 thatThose 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 aloneYou guys are rabid sometimes.

Did you guys see how many times Khan pushed and out muscled Kotelnik everytime they clinch? That'd be effective against Hatton. Plus, Hatton will have trouble pinning Khan against the ropes with Khan's newly improved footwork. 60/40 Khan for me.
He might have trouble pinning him on the ropes early but Khan is really not that hard to get close to and land your shots,Kotelnik hit Khan to body and head with his left hook but he has no power plus Kotelnik pressed Khan ,he isnt an agressive fighter normally he's a counter puncher.Hatton is an aggressive fight that will get close to Khan and slow him down by going to the body it.Then when Khan slows down he will be able to pin Khan to the ropes and in the corner and cause alot more damage.
