Doing quite well? I don't think Hatton landed a clean shot all night.
ffs he was hardly getting run out of town early on was he.
for me he took rd 3 and 5.
a couple of other rds were fairly close as well.
floyd took over thru 8, 9 and 10.
competitive action thru the first 7 rds.

Hatton won a single round at best. And how many times did he get his head snapped back with right hands? He did not do well in my book. Keep delluding yourself!
I think I had Hatton winning 2-3 rounds but I was trying to give him any close round as I thought the judges would favour Hattons aggression. It wasnt quite the white wash people are making out, you could make a case for Mayweatehr winning every round, but he put the pressure on early btu simply wasnt effective or clever enough
My point wasn't how well Hatton did but what abilities Hatton has over Khan in a raw ability level. The only 2 I've been given are chin and power. Khan's finishing ability is comparable to Hattons, both stopped on accumulation for the main part.
As for chin and power, they develop with age as a fighter naturally gets stronger, I reckon Khans power has shifted up a gear since he started. Also Khan was caught with a really good clean shot against Limmond as he came in with his chin in the air, St Clair and Earl couldnt do the same.
If Khan can make lightweight for 2-3 more years I think he would be favoured against the aging champs and the limited pressure fighters the division holds. Having said that I wouldnt mind watching him get battered by Guzman
