Funny thing is khan has stated that (and in caps) HE WILL NEVER FIGHT HATTON , Maybe but if this fight happens surely there has to be questions asked about integrity? No.

It would make sense for Ricky as one last big payday, and also getting Khan signed under his promotional banner.

Khan is probably the only guy out there other than Mayweather with comparable speed to Pacquiao. He doesn't use it like he does but it would cause Hatton problems. I'd still say Hatton would win it because of Khan's chin. I'd probably need to see how Khan does against Kotelnik before calling it. That would show how he handles top level.

Khan would land on Hatton easier than Pacquiao due to his reach. With the inclusion of the Roach/Moorer factor, Khan wins this, and early.

Unless Khan loses to Kotelnik, I should add.

A fight between hatton and mcloskey might be better than a fight between two failures( meant in the nicest way possible),

You say meant in the nicest way possible, but how in anyway shape or form is Hatton a failure also Khan for the that matter ?

Khan has a very tough fight vs. Kotelnik to get through first. I honestly don't see this happening.

So put an alleged "failure" in against a guy who will never even contend let alone get the chance to become a failure at that level?

The little rotund chap from Manchester arguably achieved more than any Irish fighter in history!

Am I in the twilight zone? Its unreal how highly some here still rate Amir Khan. No real wins, no chin, no stiff opp... Yet he now beats Hatton???

Good lord, you been on the ale lad? Hattons two losses have been to two men who were regarded by many as the best fighter on the planet. The way people are banging on it's as if he's just been flattened by some bum.

Ive heard that b4 this fight Hatton had earned over £30 million, no doubt you can stick an extra £10 million, maybe even more on that after last night. So i seriously can't see Hatton fighting Khan, it would have zero selling power outside of the uk and i could only see Hatton fighting on for a serious pay day which to be honest i can't see coming from anywhere now. IMO Hatton will call it a day now.

I think Hatton would win Kahn wouldnt deal with power and Kahn doesnt have the power to keep him off
