Any time in the next 12 months Hatton would absolutely anihalate Khan in about 4/5 - others have exposed Amir's weaknesses and Ricky would do so much more brutally.

As for Witter, well Junior carries more simgle shot power than the Hitman does, so it might go on for longer but the end would be more dramatic.

Amir's 21 years old - he's got some talent and has bags of time on his side - he may improve immeasurably so where's the rush?

I want Amir to do well in his career and would love to see Hatton and khan. I think at this point Hatton would expose Amir. Its good that Hatton has been interested in the fight as well before he retires.
But Khan is in a rush mainly because he said he wants to be a champ by 21 years of age. And because of the fact he said he wants to retire by 27. Thats not long away. Next olympic games and Khan will just be about to retire if what he says is true.

Khan will only fight hatton when he is a shot fighter, not while he is still in his peak

Khan needs a reality check. His best win is against a fringe contender in Gairy St Clair. He was nearly knocked out by a non-puncher in Willie Limond and a used up Michael Gomez gave him a scare.

What I don't want to happen is Amir Khan ending up in the Herbie Hide school of delusion, and getting knocked out by the first world class opposition he faces.

If Gomez can nearly beat Khan. What would Ricky Hatton do?
Khan needs to realise that an Olympics Silver plus a heard full of Bums sint a C.V. worth shouting about.
Knock Ricky Hatton out? laugh
