What world ratings?leeharding wrote:aye people i have just been on world ratings khan is rated higher than breidis prescott i think its a disgrace that he gets to even fight for a world title breidis prescott should get a shot before that c**t.
Khan isn't in the WBO Lightweight rankings.Dioufy wrote:Horse, I think he's on about the WBO lightweight rankings where Prescott is rated below Khan.

Is that because Khan's fighting for the WBA title, because he was 3rd at one time and surely a loss wouldn't put him outside the top 15? Other than that, I stand corrected.Horse wrote:Khan isn't in the WBO Lightweight rankings.Dioufy wrote:Horse, I think he's on about the WBO lightweight rankings where Prescott is rated below Khan.
How has this EVER been a reason for any fighter not to take a cashout fight?jamesmcdonnell wrote:

Amirs power never even managed to knock dead a shot & blind Barrera, or any number of weak feathers who were served up for him - now he's going to ice Hatton?
Hatton will want a big payday for his last fight - he's not going to get one unless Khan really goes big time in the next 6 months.Horse wrote:Risk/reward wise I would think it would be amongst the best options for a cash out/cash in fight.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Its not a big enough cashout fight, Khan isn't a big enough name yet.
It doesn't have to be his last fight. He might see it as a nice payday and a relatively easy win.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Hatton will want a big payday for his last fight - he's not going to get one unless Khan really goes big time in the next 6 months.
Also, why would he give Warren the satisfaction of putting his reputation on the line.
would be big over here though, and if khan had a title i'm sure it could be built upjamesmcdonnell wrote:Hatton will want a big payday for his last fight - he's not going to get one unless Khan really goes big time in the next 6 months.Horse wrote:Risk/reward wise I would think it would be amongst the best options for a cash out/cash in fight.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Its not a big enough cashout fight, Khan isn't a big enough name yet.

u gotta be joking.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Its not a big enough cashout fight, Khan isn't a big enough name yet.
If anyone out there thinks Ricky will be offered an amount close to £20M they are mistaken! He fought Mayweather & Pacquiao, both in Vegas, & he did not receive £20M for either fight!rob h wrote:Its 50/50. If i were Hatton I'm sure i would retire. But if i got offered £20m to fight a local rival (with a weak chin) in front of 20,000 fans and most of the UK behind me. I'm sure i would definitely double think it.
If the fight does happen though i see it being a very tough fight for Hatton.
So what does Khan bring to the table then? If Hatton can bring good ratings, then why does he need to fight Khan. Hatton won't risk his legacy against a young upstart like Khan who has achieved nothing.hitman_hatton1 wrote:u gotta be joking.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Its not a big enough cashout fight, Khan isn't a big enough name yet.
that fight would sell out any football stadium u put it in.
americans would take it cos hatton delivers good ratings.
it won't happen though.
pie in the sky this story.
I know it seems funny, but Khan has more reach than Pacquiao and is just as quick. I think he'd land almost at will as soon as Hatton gets in range. Roach would coach him on protecting himself against Hatton's danger shots, which Hatton would probably telegraph like he did against Mayweather and Pacquiao.overhand_right wrote:Its staggering how many numpties think that Amir Khan can somehow replicate what Manny Pac did.

How laughable. Khan couldn't even put away a shorter, smaller, older, and half blind Barrera, who was bleeding like a stuck pig.Asterix wrote:I know it seems funny, but Khan has more reach than Pacquiao and is just as quick.

I could definitely see Hatton winning, but I think Khan would land first and more often, with Hatton hitting gloves/arms if he did land, and I think Hatton's punch resistance has gone.
As soon as Hatton gets anywhere near Khan he'll have a sharp, accurate jab in his face, putting him off what he was going to do.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Hatton would take Khan to pieces inside of 6 rounds.

Hatton is on the slide, but I have no doubts he would eat Khan for breakfast at this stage.
Pacquaio is, and always was a crippling puncher, with absolutely amazing punch technique. Watch the way he turns the wrist over when he hooks, it's a thing of beauty - he has absolutely perfect timing and delivery, and is staggeringly accurate with those bombs.
Khan flaps around like a windup toy with St Vita's dance, he is quick, but so many of his shots are not poised, and he isn't compact and controlled like Pacquaio.

Hatton has slipped a bit, but come on, he'd go through Khan like a soft shite on a warm day.
