Hatton Versus Amir Khan

It looks like it could happen.

The Daily Telegraph is rarely wrong when it comes to boxing.

[S.G.]

It makes sense really.

I really can't pick a winner. Both are packin' china and both have pretty decent offenses so someone's getting layed out, that's for sure

They do have decent offences, but both of their offences are entirely different.

Also... does it surprise anybody at the disproportionate amount of AK threads today?

Is this a potentially viable fight? As we all know, Hatton is past his best due to his somewhat excessive lifestyle, but seeing as he has won three World titles in two different weight divisions it would be nice to see him attain one last win against a notable opponent before he retires. No one wants to bow out on a loss and a fight against Hatton would be Khan's biggest pay day to date, so I see it as a possibility.

Despite the diminution of Hatton's boxing prowess, I think he would have to be the favourite if he fought Khan because he beat Malignaggi comfortably just last year and Khan's only notable victory came against a pitifully shot Barrerra.

However, if Hatton failed to move his head whatsoever against Khan, like he did against Pacman, I feel that Khan would win with ease.

this fight is viable and should be made.

it's winnable for hatton because khan is chinny. it winnable for khan, because hatton has a mexican defense (block punches w/ his face).

[NakiFan]

I pick Khan to win this fight, why?

He's Faster
He hits harder (now)
he has slightly better chin (now)
he has better defense
he has more varied offence
it will be a neutral fight so there willl be no wrestling

You just made two very pertinent points there.

Why do you use alt accounts to agree with yourself?

Why do you have atleast 3 accounts?

I don't regard the Telegraph as a reliable source of boxing news.

I think the Daily Express is far superior in its coverage of this sport.

Hatton will eat him alive

I thought hatton would be quite sated after dining on Pacquiao's left hook.
