I think Hatton would struggle with him. Khan is a far better boxer under Roach, his speed and footwork wouldn't allow Hatton to get too close to him.

IMO it was alot of pitter patter from Khan, which deservedly won him the fight. I think his lack of power will prevent him beating anyone truely world class however.
Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.

Agree. Cant stand Kahn

Its tough to say weather Khan has good power or not, Kotelnik is a tough fighter who's never been down.
On the fight, Khan outclassed him from start to finish, and when he had to take a shot he took it well and came back with some good shots. I still think he needs one or two more fights before he can fight someone like Bradley. I think Kendal Holt would be a good opponent at this stage.
All the Olympians looked good, DeGay put in his best performance, but my god the guy is a complete tool. "DeGold is Bold" WTF. A massive ring introduction despite only having 3 fights. I can't bring myself to back the guy, he's Audley mark 2.

That was incredibly tidy by Khan, and well matched by Frank Warren.
If you're that quick and have hands that fast, you don't necessarily need to be able to blow people away. Let's not forget either that this was a weight up from his previous fights (bar one), punch resistance is going to be better than he's used to.
Maintained his composure well when he did come under pressure too.
He needs to be praying that Freddie Roach stays healthy enough for long enough to teach him everything he needs to know going forward.
Personally I think Hatton should be walking away right now from boxing before he puts his body through another crash dieting cycle and f*cks it up completely.

Khan will either fight his mandatory (Salita), or the interim WBA champ Maidana (who beat Ortiz, but lost to Kotelnik). And then if he wins that will probably fight the winner of Diaz-Mallinagi.
Morales has also been mentioned.
If Hatton fights again it'll be at welterweight.
