Is Amir Khan Ricky Hatton All Over Again?

[Squizz]

If Floyd KO's Khan, how many people will say Floyd fought a blown up 140lb'er?

Here's the thing, Khan needs at least 3 victories over proven WW's (i.e Berto, Jones, and Cotto) before facing Mayweather. If not, people will say Khan wasn't a proven WW.

If not, the ending result will be a lose-lose, no win situation for Floyd.

IMO, to much to lose and not enough to gain.

Just as people said Floyd was fighting a "real WW threat" in Shane Mosley during the pre-fight hype, many people changed their tunes after the fight..

People will say the same thing after Floyd beats Ortiz. Ortiz was a blown up JWW. Mark my words.

All I can say is this: If Floyd lands flush bombs on Khan like he did Hatton, there's absolutely NO WAY, that Khan's chin holds up for 10 rounds. It just WILL NOT HAPPEN. And with Khan's ever apparent lack of defense, it seems QUITE possible that this might happen.

If Khan thinks he's going to walk right through Floyd Mayweather, he'd better think again. He'd have to fight a much more technical fight than he's accustomed to.

He's just got too many holes in his defense for Floyd to exploit, and when Floyd does this, his chin WILL NOT HOLD UP.

Khan has looked impressive, I will admit. But it's been against talent NOWHERE NEAR the level of Floyd Mayweather.

Maidana had him running for DEAR LIFE in the last few rounds of their fight. Mark my words, Floyd will take this fight in a heartbeat, for two reasons:

1)He'll make a ****load of money for it.
2)It's an extremely easy fight for him to win.

Not to mention, Khan has apparently agreed to random OST. We can't say that for another Top Rank stablemate, now can we?

I'm all for Khan/Mayweather at this point. It seems like the negotiations would go MUCH smoother than a proposed Pacquiao fight.

If you think that will prove the "naysayers" wrong, you got another thing coming. Here are some of the arguments that you would get:

Berto= never beat anybody, was exposed by Ortiz
Jones= never beat anybody
Cotto= shopworn, not what he once was, ruined by Margs/Pac

What I'm starting to realize is that a negative boxing fan can always think of something to discredit a fighter. Amir is doing everything right at the moment. Hopefully he can take on Bradley before going to 147, but it seems unlikely.

Ha That was my 2nd thought.

I'm pretty sure Floyd knows what he is doing.

And you can bet, that its making as much money as quickly as possible.

A Floyd - Khan fight in the UK would make a mint for Floyd. And it would be a very credible fight. You need to ask yourself, would people give floyd more credit for fighting completely unproven fighters at any weight like Berto and Jones? Of course not.

Khan fulfills the criteria of being credible, and bringing a **** load of money to the table for floyd.

Very true. Unfortunately, the ridiculous mental gymnastics some negative fans do, is really silly.

If Khan were to win a WW strap or simply beat a serious contender at the weight, he'd be a credible opponent for PBF. Then if PBF were to win, it's a good win for him. But Khan's a bit away from that still. He's not ready to fight a technical master like PBF. He wasn't before Judah, and beating Judah certainly doesn't make him a threat to PBF at a higher weight. I think that win is getting blown out of proportion.

without his handspeed and height advantage, amir khan is nothing more than a talentless, no skill, one dimensional bum on PEDS with a glass chin. his fans suffer from bad taste and cheap cologne.

Khans resume and rep is building faster then hattons did. Khan has better skills then hatton had and the main thing in khans favour is his size. He can move up easily to WW, were as for hatton it wasn't his natural weight 140 was. Hatton had the British bulldog attitude and with him being more in touch with lower to middle class people playing darts etc he was a people's champ and his popularity extended him in the sport.

Please do not compare the skilled and sophisticated Khan with the face first brawler and drunkard that was Ricky Hatton.

There is a huge disparity in skill and class between Khan and Hatton, Even in the fans you will find Khan fans tend to be middle/upper class urban socialites whereas Ricky Hattons were skinhead simpletons and football hooligans.

The difference betwen Khan fans and Ricky Hatton fans: Khan fans drive to work in a BMW, wear a suit and tie and work at a desk 9-5pm, Ricky Hatton fans go to work by bus and wear a uniform with a name badge and work at a counter at strange hours.

shut up you complete and utter tool.

Sounds like your describing maidana?
