Khan leaves Warren, Vacates Title, Malignaggi next ....

[Fenster]

It was pretty obvious this would happen when Khan Promotions were set up.

Khan beats powderpuff. Ricky takes a gimme comeback fight.

Hatton-Khan here we go.

I hope so, but I'm pretty sure Khan would wh00p Hatton as bad as he whooped Salita

Comparing Salita to Hatton is a complete liberty

Hatton did get up a few times against Pac. Khan don't hit like Pac. And Hatton, even an old past-his-best version, has the power to KO Khan with a clip.

Anyway.. Hatton-Khan would be absolutely HUGE in Britain. It's a fight that would have the entire country watching. It would be a great event, whoever wins.

Ricky told me, that he feels when he catches Khan with a decent shot on the whiskers it will be good night.

i agree totally with that.... the only way Ricky loses is if his punch resistance has totally gone and i think that is what really makes this fight intresting.


anyways heres khans view on the split...

Speaking a lot of sense there Amir - hope he does well. If only he had a chin

[ono]

Cracking move.

Won't wash well with the tubthumpers who wants to see him ko'd by Maidana but if he relinquishes and takes on a few less riskier fights whilst honing his skills under Roach, i fail to see how anyone can be bothered by it.

Think he can beat Paulie quite handily and then i think he absolutely destroys Hatton. Not because Hatton is finished....more so because Hatton cannot respond to being hit by fast combinations. He has no answer. The fact that he feels he can clip Khan will only add to his downfall as he'll more than likely become even more reckless.

Hatton will get a tremendous beating if he's stupid enough to fight Khan.

I would still rate a shot Hatton well above Prescott who seemed to struggle with Mitchells combo's

I see what you're getting at and with every fight it will be a worry but Hatton hasn't knocked anyone out with a headshot for years.

For the record i don't actually think Hatton is shot. How could he be? He went from dominating Paulie to getting sparked by Pacquiao. It happens. And for hatton it happens everytime he fights somebody who's fast and throws skillfull combinations.

That's why i give him next to no chance.

I'm not so sure... he struggled against Lazcano... but saying that Khan is improving all the time and Ricky is getting older and wider as the months go by so it would be a great fight and one i'd pay to see.

Hatton hasn't hit a china-chin like Khan's in years. Possibly never a chin so fragile.

I don't see how anyone could think Hatton would not spark Khan if he caught him? There's really no doubt at all.

I think Khan will box circles round him and Ricky won't get anywhere near his chin. The Hatton of a few years ago would have got to Khan at some point but he's deluding himself if he thinks he's anything but a pale shadow of his former self. I'd actually like to see Khan systematically beat the shit out of Hatton for twelve rounds and humiliate him, he's only coming back for the money.

What a load a shite. You keep saying this and I keep reading it, but it's utter tosh. He doesnt need the money, what planet are you on ? Ricky has made well over £20 million and some. He still lives in house at the end of a very normal street. He isnt flash, all his cars have been given to him, and his Dad controls all his money. Ricky only gets paid a wage per fight, his Dad puts the rest away in a fund for Ricky and his son Campbell.

He is coming back because he always said he could never go out on a loss. It's a massive pride thing with Ricky, and in some ways, even though he is a mate, he can live a little in denial. He'll blame Cortez for the Mayweather loss and his training camp for the Pac loss, although some of that is justified, but he still wouldnt have won fully fit for me in either fight.

Ricky, as much as he's the lad next door, loves being Ricky Hatton. Without that adulation in the ring he feels a little lost, much like most fighters. Although most fighters have never had the unbelievable support he has.

Ricky has his own gym, his own promotional company, his own clothes brand, jeez he has the lot. Money isnt the reason he is coming back, and if you truly believe he is, you either know nothing about the lad, or your just being plain ignorant.

It doesn't matter how much he's got in the bank, there are people with billions who are hungrier than ever to earn more than they've got already. There's money to be made and he wants to make it rather than fannying around at Altringham leisure centre making a few thousand quid. I can agree with the bit about him feeling lost but the main reason he's coming back is all down to money. If you walked into his gym in Manchester tomorrow and told him he'd have to give every penny he made in the ring away from now on he'd take the gloves off and go straight down the pub.

Does anyone no why Paulie did not use his right hand in that fight, besides uppercuts from waist-line.

He did not throw those beautiful combinations we are used to. Particularly the 1-2-1's he was throwing at Diaz.

Did he break his right hand?
I do not believe it was Hatton's swarming. Watching the fight the first time I thought he was holding when Hatton came in the inside, to separate the action, thinking he had felt Hatton's power early.

The Paulie that was fighting Hatton was not the one fighting Diaz.
