Hatton is Too Tough, Too Strong For Khan, Says Froch

[gingeralbino]

Unless Khan imporves A LOT in his next performance, snd shows he can take a half decent shot without wobbling like a baby giraffe Hatton KOs him inside 6. I know the popular opinion on here now is Hatton is rubbish, but the truth is he is on another level to Khan currently. Khan may well go on to be better than Hatton, he may not, but he's not there yet.
Also Khan doesnt hit that hard, i dont think he could floor Ricky let alone KO him. His speed would give everyone problems, but unless he gets a bit more pop at 140 (maybe he has) Hatton would be able to beat him using his old tactics.

Froch is right on this one, Khan vs Hatton, I think Hatton wins by KO. It would be like when he beat Paulie. I think Hatton should wait for Marquez-Mayweather loser and take him on.

Khan isn't a power puncher, but he isn't exactly Mallignaggi. I can easily see Khan being able to floor Hatton after receiving a 6 punch combo to the chin. Hatton's chin isn't what it once was. Any glancing blow seems to buckle Hatton these days.

Anyway, it is a bit too soon for Khan to fight Hatton. Maybe after another couple of fights he will be there. Although his defence has improved, we have no idea of how much, until he gets in the ring with Kotelnik.

Nottingham's Carl Froch, 32, stands alone as Britain's only current world title holder. However, the WBC super-middleweight boss believes that he will soon be joined by Bolton's Amir Khan. Froch told The Sun that Khan will relieve Andreas Kotelnik of his WBA light-welterweight title on the 18th of this month. [details]

Didn't we hear this before?

People are missing the biggest point! Carl Froch just gave an interview and didn't mention Joe Calzaghe!

holy **** your right, or maybe they edited it out. that would be more likely.
"Khan should not fight hatton, its totally different to Joe not fighting me, i was ready, khan isnt"
Bet ya he really said that

[hugh grant]

People are saying Khan isnt a hard hitter. I would disagree with this statement. Look at how he battered some of his opponents and look me in the eye and say you dont think Khan can hit hard.

Khan can hit hard. But he is a box puncher. As far as i can tell he could hurt Hatton if he could land on him enough, and avoid Hattons best punches.

Dude, my little sister is too tough for Khan!

Kotnelik(whatever his name is I've seen clips of him and he has good defense), has a better defense then Hatton and is a better counter-puncher then Hatton in my own personal opinion. Since Hattons style seems more like a brawlers style even though in his fight against Pauli Malignaggi he moved better and boxed well. But in his fight against Pacquiao he came straight forward like an idiot and got KO'd. I was expecting Pacquiao to win and possibly by KO but not that quick.

Speed kills Hatton, he would end up laying on the rockstar logo if he fought Froch!
