Malignaggi: "Amir Khan is BETTER than Ricky Hatton"

[AntonTheMeh]

people need to be realistic. its been how long since he's faced a puncher? he's gotta get over that ghost before i give him the nod over hatton.

A prime 28 year old version of Khan smashes any version of Ricky. Their skill sets are like night and day.

Sorry man I cannot agree and I like Khan. Think back to Ricky circa 2005-2006. He was a monster. People just forget. He was relentless.

Sure he took his punches to get where he wanted, but at that time, he could take those punches no problem to get there. You add to that his footwork, which I consider some of the best offensive footwork of any fighter in any era and a guy like Khan is going to have issues.

Khan would eat Hatton up from the outside, he would not trade with Hatton. Khan used Paulie's defense against him.

Paulie backs up after he gets hit to get out of the way but Khan would follow up with a second punch, whether it was another jab or a straight. He hits Paulie, Paulie backs up and Amir hits him with a second punch to keep him off balance and forcing him to setup again before he could attack.

Think of a Prime Hatton's footwork. Nobody could stay on the outside against him. He trapped everyone!!

no version of Hatton can beat the current version of Khan.

This is clearly ironic

[Boxingholic]

Khan would knock out Hatton in 6-8 rounds!!!

This place can be so depressing at times. So many lack memory and only have tunnel vision.

shoulda gave an option: not yet

[Monte Fisto]

We all know what type of strengths and weaknesses Khan and Flattened bring to the table. Besides his height and jab Khan has a huge edge on Flattened in one area, ROACH !!

[mrgreenfingers]

would be interesting to hear who he thought was the better puncher
