    Screw it bring it on right now. It will sell huge and makes sense for both fighters. Both have a great chance to win and both bring enormous attraction to a UK event. Great idea.

    This is exactly the fight Hatton should take. It makes big money in the UK and could do a lot for both fighters careers.

      I agree, I'd love it man.

      I'd be there supporting Khan, it's time proper British boxing fans got behind besides slagging him off all the time like ****s.


      Another point to throw in this thread...........

      I think we should have a new rule for predicting Khan fights, you can't make a prediction and then say: 'but if he gets caught he will be KTFO.'
      Such a cop-out, with this clause nobody will ever call Khan fight completely wrong.

      Hence the reason my prediction is: Khan blurring handspeed and accuracy plus Hatton's non-existing head movement = Khan stoppage.

      (it's really hard to do, I want to throw it in there.lol)

        Both fighters will hit each other at the same time and would result in a double knock out. All we will hear is the sound of GLASS being broken just as both fighters land that one shot.
        If these two were to ever fight, they better have a broom and a dust pan ready to clean up all the broken glass :lmfao:

              Hatton would KO Khan just by looking at his chin.

                Pretty dumb and pointless.

                Khan is way too inexperienced now.

                  this is a bad fight for hatton. but if khan didn't have roach in his corner, I'd definitely pick hatton to win by KO.

                    I agree Khan/Roach have the game that could beat Hatton. It would come down to just how powerful Khan is, and I'm still not sure on that score. Hatton will take punches in order to land his own, but he will land enough to either KO Khan or slow and tire him enough to pile on the rounds for a decision unless Khan does some real damage. And, despite the idiot comment earlier in thead, with Hatton that's far from easy. Better fighters than Khan have tried and only two p4p kings have succeeded. But is Hatton the fighter he was?

                    Interesting possibility, but I still hope Hatton calls it a day, to be honest. All I can see in the fight for him is a payday, and he really doesn't need the money. It does nothing for his career, IMHO the only fights that might do that at present are Bradley or JMM (assuming the latter losing to PBF).

                      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.
                      Wouldn't neccessary argue, like you say it depends whether Khan has enough power. He certainly hasn't the power of pacman. So Hatton will get hit no doubt of it, no doubt he can hit as well. So its just can Khan stop him before Hatton lands and if/when Hatton lands can Khan absorb it. One of those that you wont know until it happens and see how shot or not Hatton is. Hatton is at the stage of his career where he can't iron out his faults, Khan should still be working on his. If Khan keeps developing and accepts that he is far from the finished article then he should have more than Hatton. Still got major reservations about him though.
