By Scott Gilfoid: If Ricky Hatton had it his way, Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) would have more preparation before he climbs into the ring to face IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (35-0, 24 KOs) for a unification fight.
Hatton thinks the timing is bad for the 29-year-old Khan right now to be taking on Brook, given the fact that Khan fought only once in 2013 and 2015, and hasn’t fought since May of last year. All total, Khan has fought four times in the last three years, period. Heck, that’s like one year’s worth of fighting for someone like Deontay Wilder.
Khan has been waiting on big money fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao that never materialized. All that waiting around has caused Khan to miss out on a lot of fight opportunities. If he fights Brook in the summer on June 4 at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, Brook will have the upper hand in the ring because he’s been the busier fighter in the last three years.
By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton doesn’t see any point in Amir Khan waiting round before getting the fight against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook out of the way. Khan says he wants Brook to build up their eventual fight by facing and beating a couple of top fighters in the 147lb division like Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Marcos Maidana and/or Tim Bradley. 
By Scott Gilfoid: With 42-year-old Oscar De La Hoya recently talking about making a comeback to the sport before changing his mind to stay retired, it makes one think of former two division world champion Ricky Hatton (45-3, 32 KOs) as someone who is due for another comeback attempt of his own. He’d just need to take off a wee bit of weight first. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton doesn’t think it’s such a good idea for 42-year-old Oscar De La Hoya to face a slugger like WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in his first fight of his potential comeback. De La Hoya has been saying over and over again that he only wants to fight the very best when or if he comes back, and he only wants Golovkin or Floyd Mayweather Jr. 
By Scott Gilfoid: British boxing star Ricky Hatton believes that former IBF/WBA 140lb champion Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) deserves to be the one who gets picked out for a payday against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) for his next fight in September this year. 
By Chris Williams: Former Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao victim Ricky Hatton is picking Mayweather Jr. to win the mega-fight between him and Pacquiao on May 2nd. Hatton was soundly beaten by both fighters in the past. 
By Gav Duthie: Matchroom supremo Eddie Hearn has been candid about his frustration in trying to tempt Amir Khan into the ring to face compatriat Kell Brook. Comparisons have been made to the rivalry between Kell Brook stablemate Junior ‘The Hitter’ Witter and Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton which was a fight mooted for years in the mid naughties which failed to materialise. Will the big Brook-Khan fight suffer the same fate? This article reflects on what happened between Witter and Hatton as well as comparisons and differences between the situation then and now. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton sees big things for IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (33-0, 22 KOs) in 2015 with him getting the big fights that he’s been talking about for ages now. Hatton believes that the 28-year-old Brook will be able to get important fights this year. 
By Abbas Dadhiwala: Ricky Hatton was a boxer who captured the British public’s imagination like no other. No other boxer found a following like Hatton. The people took him as one. No other British Boxer could match Hatton’s popularity, be it Henry Cooper, Lennox Lewis, Bruno, Calzaghe or Hamed. Hatton popularity was a phenomenon, he may have won world titles but his legacy will always be that he had the biggest following in British Boxing.
