So would Khan be too much for Hatton now ?

[littlebif]

I'm surprised Paulie has said that the Khan that beat him is better than Hatton - I thought it was even more of a shut out when Hatton beat him. Even though Khan won all but the 2nd round look how beat up Khan's face was post fight..... Paulie landed plenty this weekend but fuck all against Hatton.

To answer your question - yes Khan would beat a 2010 version of Hatton. Too much damage done now.

I totally agree with this post 100%. Hatton did an even better job on Paulie than Khan and you could argue that the beating Hatton gave him may have made him less of a threat to Khan. Fighters can't take that kind of a beating without it taking something out of them.

Also Hatton has taken too much damage but I think it's more self inflicted with the beer and take aways than anything that has happened in the ring. Yes he took a sustained beating against Floyd and that would have taken quite a lot from him but nothing like what he has done to himself with the poor diet and lack of training.

Khan would for me KO Hatton in the mid rounds now but if he had to fight the Hatton that fought Tszyu, Hatton WOULD have KO'd Khan early.

Put it this way. I was shocked when they threw in the towel against Hatton. Against Khan, i was waiting for it.

Hatton beat a one handed Paulie who was trained by Buddy McGirt. Khan beat a confident two handed Paulie who'd just come off the best win of his career.

Khan would beat Hatton convincingly imo. Hatton doesn't know how to respond to someone who puts punches together. And he doesn't respond well to speed.

Paulie never used his right hand much against Khan after the 4th round he barley throw it.
