By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton, a former knockout victim of Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KO’s), is giving Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) a good chance at beating Mayweather if they face each other next May. Hatton thinks that if Khan can box intelligently, avoid going to war with Floyd, and using his speed, he could pull off an upset in this fight.
Hatton is still wise enough to know that Khan would likely get beaten by Mayweather, but he thinks Khan could pull off the miracle upset if he fought the perfect fight.
Hatton told wharf.co.uk “There’s very few fighters that can match him [Mayweather] for speed. Normally people fly at Floyd, but if Amir can jab, move and keep ot of the way and, if Floyd has to be the attacker, it could be different…it would certainly be interesting if Amir swallows his pride for one fight and doesn’t go to war.”
