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

[Fenster]

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.

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'm not so sure. Hatton's not the sort of fighter to throw hooks to the head...well accurately at least and every time Khan has been in trouble it's been a hook that's caught him on the temple. Hatton will mainly throw straight right hands that fly over the target and Khan will counter him for fun.

I agree Khan's punch resistance is awful although at 135 that was more than likely because his bodyfat was at 1.5%

Seriously though, any fighter has a punchers chances against Khan, but i still give Hatton next to no chance.

I see a methodical beatdown that falls somewhere in between what Floyd and Pacquiao did to Hatton.

Be a shame for him to go out like that. I just don't see him ever being able to deal with fast combinations.

I think you're underrating Hatton and overrating Khan. Hatton has won 45 fights. I'm pretty sure he landed punches to win those fights. Khan struggled with Gomez pressure, and although improved has beaten a decent defensive fighter in Kotelink. I'm pretty sure Kotelnik is not in Hatton's class.

I would make Khan slight favourite but the very fact Hatton can do him with a clip makes it intriguing.
