Hatton would be able to get inside with little trouble considering Khans sloppy footwork, Khan has nothing on the inside at all it would be pretty much all Ricky there, what makes you think Khan is a bad style match up for him?
height, strength, punching power, faster hands, combinations
mostly the speed at a distance
take your pick
if khan fought the perfect fight against ricky he'd be at a huge advantage.
khan is no small guy
he was a fat kid growing up. he's about 5'11. reach of a MW
he's got big, heavy, bones. big hands. he will likely finish his career at 154.
khan's not consistent and ricky was a locomotive and i think that's where he'd pick up the slack and catch amir at his best.
khan is a rough match for ricky, who was basically a super athletic mauler with a tremendous engine
all that being said, if ricky impliments his gameplan he'd likely whallop amir, and i believe he would.
but khan's style is one of the more difficult styles to negate with a style like hattons
mostly because ricky would ave to absorb a lot of damage, or work extra hard to avoid the damage, so he could do his own work and score points
All good fights. I'd probably favour current Khan, Maidana and Bradley over him though. Not saying Hatton doesn't have an excellent chance to dismiss all four however.

People are saying Hatton is past his prime, why? Due to losses from Mayweather and Pacquiao? Hatton is still in his prime, the 2 losses he suffered from the lb4lb fighters made him look past his prime but in reality he is not.
