    Ricky should retire......but......

    If he has one more then I think it should be against Khan, providing Khan gets past Kotelnik. Here’s why;

    Stage it at the MEN Manchester, the ‘home’ for both fighters, and the venue in which they both had their greatest victories

    It will be a huge battle of Britain-type fight

    It’s the biggest fight out there now for Hatton, as well as the biggest payday. Marque fights are over.

    It’s an opportunity to get one over Frank Warren

    They’re both from the North West

    If Ricky loses it’ll be like ‘handing over the baton’ to Amir.

    It’s a very easy light welterweight fight to make.



    Anyway, that’s my thoughts.

    The only one supporting Khan in the arena would be his parents and his coaching team.

        I would rather see him take on Witter then the winner fight Khan.

          There's this sad and clingy part of me that still wants him to carry on, but my heart and mind all say a resounding "NO" to any fight with any fighter. He should just concentrate on being a dad and a hubby-to-be.



          ... Yeah, I'm still bloody devastated.

            I'd bet on Khan to beat Ricky after Saturday to be honest.

              Khan beats rickys ass... Khan has Olympic skills and will be too much for Ricky to handle... whenever ricky faced someone with that kind of world class skillset he loses or gets a lucky decision

                Yes fighting Khan does sound good actually. Hatton only lost to the best fighters on the planet. If Khan could beat Kotelnik and he has just beaten Barrera, it would be a good match for Hatton, considering Khan is from the Pac and Roach stable.

                But that might be a bad OMEN for Hatton come to think of it. Roach and Pac might give Khan too many tips.
                But if Hatton did fight Khan i think Hatton could try outbox Khan. He would seriously have to let the punches go when on the inside to soften khan up. But being careful when at range, because Hatton cab be hurt there.
