Comments Thread For: Hatton Plots Mid-Year Return, Amir Khan Fight Possible

Why spin it like that? Both are good for boxing and how can you call them underachievers? Is that what Cotto is as well?

Their popularity don't mask their mediocre abilities. It is what it is. And yeah, Cotto is an underachiever as well.

Even though Khan has been KO before, Hatton is not a 1 KO puncher. Khan has improved under Roach. Khan by KO in the middle rounds.

I have no interest in this fight. Retire Rick.

Whats up with roach's fighters fighting these past their prime fighters or trying to fight them? Why doesn't he fight maidana, khan just doesn't want to get knocked out again he just wants to make fights that are winnable on paper and not take any risks

haha u obviously haven't seen much of Hatton then.. He used to stop people with one bodyshot ala Jose Luis Castillo.

if he connects clean, then we'll see whether Khan's chin has improved. if it hasn't, then he's in trouble, but Khan will use his size and speed to fight on the outside, throw punches in bunches and win by UD, perhaps late stoppage. after all, freddie has already beat hatton before (with manny), just a matter of giving Khan the tactics.

I'm not sure Ricky can make 140lbs now, if it happens in the summer than its >1 years since his last fight (in May vs. pacman), he's put on a lot of weight and i won't be surprised if the fight is at a catch-weight, maybe 143lbs?

that way Khan won't lose his title if he loses and ricky can make weight, win-win situation.. Also, Khan may have to fight before that (mandatory vs. Maidana?), probably in March. I guess we'll see how his chin in in that fight..

but i reckon it's improved and will improve even more if/when he moves up in weight - Khan will make a lethal welterweight and if he manages to retain his speed, he'll destroy 154lbs division in 3/4 years time if he moves up. he certainly has the physique - 5ft10", big frame, and he also has a long reach and is very fast, skillful and has power.

Why do people keep hyping up Maidana? All because of a win over Victor Ortiz? Have we forgotten that Maidana ate the floor just as many times as Ortiz did in that fight?

Maidana is a very solid fighter. Victor Ortiz just packs a mean punch. And Maidana should have gotten the win over Kotelnik but they fought in Germany.

Clearly Hatton wants nothing to do with Frank Warren, thats why he mentioned that Khan has his own promotional company.

This would be a massive UK fight. Regardless of what anybody else thinks. This will be one of the biggest fights in UK history!

seems ricky is so confident against khan. while hatton has the advantage in experinece, he should not take khan lightly because amir is getting better with roach.

This Amir Khan will beat any Ricky Hatton. It doesnt matter if it is the pre-PBF or past Pacman Hatton. Amir will stop him in the late rounds.
