I don't disagree with your general assessment of Khan, however it is worth reading this extract from the interview in the Independent with his trainer Freddie Roach. He may have a glass jaw, but he is also a good listener.

Fair enough, but I would imagine that doing it in sparring is one thing, doing it in front of a sellout crowd and massive TV audience when the adrenaline starts flowing would be quite another.

Correct, there is no way you can compare Khan with Manny based on sparring, fact is.. Khan wouldnt last 30 seconds fighting Manny.

Also, in sparring, the minimum oz glove that would be used is 16oz, i would imagine for this, Manny would of used 22oz. Not quite the same as being hit with a 10oz.

a 50 second knockout when you're the 1/10 favourite SUGGESTS a glass jaw.

...what is it they say about boxers having a punchers chance?

Suggesting Khan would outbox Hatton is ridiculous, even a past it Hatton would beat Khan quite comfortably.
