Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton Explains Why He Would Have Beaten Amir Khan

[ussy]

Think of Khan's fight with Lamon Peterson except that Hatton does damage.

Haha, deluded. Peterson has a 17cm reach advantage over Hatton, Khan would Ko Hatton in their primes or win on decision. Only chance Hatton would have would be a Hail Mary punch but Maidana couldn’t it and I definitely don’t see ricky boy doing it.

Khan is fast for the first three or four rounds. After that you can time him or stay on top of him. You not gonna outbox Khan, but you can outfight him. Hatton woulda stopped him by the 11th.

IDK, I could see that one going lots of different ways. On their best nights though, I think I would put my money on Khan.

Could see a highlight reel ko for hatton late in the fight or potentially early

Hatton would eat a shot to land one but hed land big

[IceTrayDaGang]

the khan that was under roach would have put hatton down, flopping like a fish out of water like maidana..

prime khan under roach would put ricky down.. wont be a ko, but i see khan winning a UD.

And I miscounted. It was actually 3x by DSG not 2x.

I was honestly very surprised Maidana and Judah couldn’t drop him. I know Maidana hurt him bad, but couldn’t drop him. Roach and Ariza were the best team for Khan. I think that was the best run of his career until DSG derailed it and forced Khan to fire Roach. His wins from Barrera to Judah were the best he’s ever looked in his career. Including surviving that one round that could’ve been worse and edging Maidana with a first round KD body shot.

Thanks kev you lead me down a rabbit hole on YouTube last night that started with glass chin khan and somehow ended up with the greatness of rjj two hours later lol

Hatton steamed through Tszyu's shots and he's one of the best punchers ever at 140.

The only notable win in his career. A grinding, workman horse just smothering, holding and grappling win.
Hatton got beat by Collazo. Got a gift decision. Got beat by Floyd.
Got destroyed by PAC.
Hatton maybe a puncher but his skills were very limited.

I do not like Khan at all but he picks apart Hatton in this mythical match up. Hand speed is just too much plus height and reach advantage.

Yea.. But the way Manny koed him in the second.. Meant that tszyu's shots put a lot of cracks in that glass... Manny threw one rock.. And the entire house came crumbling down! Lol.

I think that might be more to do with him beefing up to move up in weight, getting KOd by the bigger man. Then going back down, struggling to make weight due to ailing fitness due to his coke addiction and eating habits. Then of course he was facing a big puncher, not the best recipe.

He may have been limited but he was tough as hell and scrappy in his prime. Not saying he was a great fighter, although he's like Froch in that he greatly overachieved in his career.
