Hatton on Cotto

He would get soundly beaten by Cotto I think and it would probably have to be at welterweight which we all know is no good for Ricky. If he does come back then he should be looking at the likes of Diaz/Marquez at light welterweight.

Khan to fight Kotelnik for WBA light welterweight belt

Amir Khan will get his first chance at a world title on 27 June when he fights WBA light-welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik in Britain.

The 22-year-old from Bolton defeated Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera in their lightweight contest in Manchester last month.

But he will move up a division to take on Germany-based Ukrainian Kotelnik at an as-yet undecided venue.

"To fight for the world title in only my 22nd fight is fantastic," said Khan.

This has taken me by surprise to be honest. I thought Khan would stay in the lightweight division to fight a top 10 fighter this year, but now Frank Warren has lined up a world title fight a division up! What is going on here? There are 20 guys out there who are more deserving of a shot at Kotelnik, arguably the weakest Champion out there (considering all at lightweight and light-welterweight). I knew Warren had the WBO in his pocket but it seems that he's spreading far and wide these days.

Here's hoping for Kotelnik to win by KO.
