Ricky Hatton Believes Khan Overcame The Odds

[SceneSpectator!]

I doubt that. Hatton's only losses came from P4P kings no less. IMO, he is an overachiever. Just think of how many champions he defeated with his technique.

Khan is young... give him time. He took his loss like a man and continued to improve. Only real issue with him is his chin. But that also improved when he moved up in weight. Prescott ... only advantage is his power. Other than that ... nada. IMO, if they meet again, I would bet on Khan to UD or Late KO Prescott.

Agreed, I think Khan would KO Prescott in their next meeting!

What an un beleive ably **** thread !!!!!!!

Ok Ricky Hatton - 5 time world champion , Ring magazine fighter of the year , Linear 140 lb champion , and has a WW strap under his belt too .

Yeah pretty ****ty resume .

Ok Khan , predominantly i agree Khan is better suited to an Ama boxing style but like Hatton says he is becoming more well rounded , and the jump to 140 seems like a master stroke in protecting that chin !!!!!! .

Khan's problem is this , the media , he was thrust into the media lime light too young with too much on his shoulders , that is where the hate comes from , Khan is now the WBA 140 lb champ , and we have known who he is for years and have watched his every move , well really we should of only known him for fighting Barrera !!!!!!! im talking on a world level audience

Your right Khan has not faced A level opponents yet , but he did make a good fighter in Kotelnik look pretty bad in his last fight , and has the potential to be a superstar , the Prescott defeat was the best thing that could of happened to him , and remember this he is still a 22 year old kid !!!!!!

I seem to remember another tall Jr WW called Tommy Hearns being a great fighter but having no chin and look on how he turned out !!!!!

tommy hearns chin was so bad the only fighters who knocked him out were hagler, leonard and barkley

omfg - hearns must of had a really bad chin to get knocked out like that by 2 hall of famers and 1 knock out merchant!!!

think you have been owned *****

Khan is an up and commer with a lot of upside, he gets bashed cause he got KOed (which great fighters have lost before and this is boxing) in the first round. Then he faces ***an(which was also underserving) for some version of the WBA belts, a bad fight against Barrera that should had been stopped cause the cut and no rematch happened, and then they went after the softest of the champions for the title.

He did win the title with his fist but he didn't fight his way back into contention. The view is that he is pampered and brought up very carefully. He has a lot of viable options at his weight, fighting and beating the ppl at his weight will make believers out of the naysayers. Salita is the mandatory but nobody is interested and Salita is also been pampered truout his career.

I put him with JCC Jr and lately Juama Lopez till he proves me otherwise
