Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Wants a Ricky Hatton Showdown Very Soon

[PittyPat]

Maindana will become Khan's toy in that ring and exposed for what he is, a crude slugger.

Still has to fight him, though. It's all good and well saying "He will he will he will".

Wow pump ur brakes khan!!! Remember is NOT wt u want is wt ur daddy Roach wants!!! Khan stated that he would "fight anyone at 140" but roach himself said it was to risky(maidana) and not enough money!!! Run khan daddy is callin!

Ummm Hatton won 2 fights between the KO's you plank, one of them against the No1 contender in the division.

You are right you plank. However, two KO's against top caliber competition still place a question mark when facing top competition if you ask me.

Amir talks too damn much. He needs to be quiet instead of talking so much in the media.

He wants to fight Mayweather, Hatton, etc. How about you defend your title first against Maidana before you start thinking about the future?

Hatton is damage goods. Mayweather and Manny ended his career.

Khan is going to fight Maidana. It's nearly a done deal.

Maidana gets schooled. His hype train stops. Khan's train keeps on chugging along.

I was of the opinion that Khan should seek to avenge the humilation of the Prescott fight. But after Prescott was schooled by Mitchell I can't see much sense (business or otherwise) in taking that bout.

No one would seriously expect Manny to rewind his career back to Singsurat or Torrecampo in order to set the record straight.

Instead, Khan should look to building his confidence against any top-10 fighter who can ****. But there's no rush. He's still a baby in boxing.

As for Hatton. If the fight is there Khan should take it. Boxing is a tough sport and a fighter would be ****** to walk away from a huge payday - regardless of the condition of the opponent. Let's be honest, reputation and honour are all well and good - but neither put food on the table. If Ricky is ****** enough to ignore the warning signals (which, for him, are flashing bright red) Khan must oblige.

The fight is madness. Khan is too fast and a nightmare stylistically. And Roach knows his game inside out. Ricky would be cut to ribbons - literally and figuratively.
