Amir Khan vs Ricky Hatton

[Nacho_Analstain]

I agree with Warren to some extent (and for once).

Although Hatton was in the ring with an amazing fighter and was completely outclassed, I still feel everything about his fighting game has disintegrated to a bare minimum and he is no longer in his prime. I don't think he could deal with Amirs come forward style and would suffer trying to avoid Khans big flurries.

Its a fight that would sell out the whole country in the UK and I think it should happen, a HUGE win for Khan if he succeeds and a massive boost to his career and if Hatton wins, a good farewell fight for the fans.

How do you see it?

I think hatton mauls and knocks him out

wouldnt mind seeing it like in 2 years

Hatton will be retired by then, I don't think Hatton has a big enough reach to land the kind of punches Prescott did, he would have trouble getting in close.

I know the prediction sounds crazy when you put the names together but when you actually think about it style wise, its an interesting fight.

Its like i knew this **** would happen..

***in knew that Warren would bait Hatton into fighting Khan i already mentioned it on previous threads

At this stage i think Hatton would maul him to death.
I dont believe ricky is off his game that much to the extent he'd lose to Khan..

Im just waiting on warren to say it will be bigger then the Eubank/Benn clash and im off looking for him to yank out his last good eye....

I think its a closer fight than you think, also considering who knows what that knockout did to Ricky.

Its also interesting in a sense that Hattons bull rush style would be more likely to win him the fight early, than the defensive skillful style Mayweather has tried to show him.

Also, does anybody know if Floyd is gonna continue to train Ricky? or does Ricky need another trainer if he wants to continue fighting?

I think ricky gets rid of snr or in a polite way dosent use his service's anymore..

Yeh i hear what your saying it could of left some damage and we wont know that till he fights again if he fights again..Could be close but if i had to pick at this stage not in 2 years etc i'd still say Hatton

Tricky one this, a fighter possibly on the decline against a still fairly unproven fighter.
I'd go with Hatton I think still have a lot of reservations about Khan, also Pacman and Mayweather would take the world of beating from a prime fighter so doesn't neccessarily point to Hatton being shot as such.

I think I'd go with Khan actually.

Hatton has taken a lot of shots by great fighters, and that has an impact.

Khan is fast and his accuracy is underrated, if your going to consistantly pick against Khan because he might get chinned you'll never ever pick him to win a fight for the rest of his career. Khan would win I think, possible stoppage. Hatton's head just doesn' move at all anymore.

Khan's handspeed with give Hatton fits at this stage of Hatton's career.

Khan has more talent and out and out more boxing ability then Hatton did at the height of his career! - True story. Khan just doesn't have a chin, but IMO Hatton doesn't have enough to pin Khan back and KO him?

When Khan throws he always lands - his pouch accuracy is second to none and Hatton takes to many blows to the head these days. Khan would have a field day.

I'd favour Khan, and don't mind taking the backlash of this post.

It's alright Chunk, we're right.

Khan is accurate as they come, that Gomez fight was ridiculous, Hatton would come in with similar lack-of-head-movement and get hit about 760 times like Gomez did. It depends on whether Khan can hurt Hatton, and I think he can it this stage, therefore he wins. Stoppage.
