    A glimpse of what would have happened in the early rounds v Hopkins and Roy Jones is rubbish. Calzaghe left everything in the Kessler fight. The only thing you can knock calzaghe for was his ambition. Once he achieved his goals he wasn't interested anymore. I think in both of there prime calzaghe gives Jones a very good fight. I think he beats Hopkins at any stage.

    Papillon still ignoring the question. I'll try for the 3rd time.
    Whilst Hatton and Witter were both promoted by FW, Hatton turned down the Witter fight. He then claimed live on TV that the Witter fight had been written into his contract. Was he telling the truth?
    After a shifting of the goalposts, he stated that he would fight Witter if Witter won a world title. Was he telling the truth?

    Okay I'll try to break that gibberish down, bullet point style.

    • Yes Witter took the fight but not only put on one of the poorest performances I can think of but he alienated himself from not only fans but US TV.

    • As for the WBC belt, it's the fighter who makes the belt, not the other way round.

    • Fury will be welcomed back by the boxing public.

    LOL

    I think you'll find you are incorrect.

    He lost on points to Padilla for the WBO and Rodriguez for the IBF.

    Still beat Harris though who incidentally could be Witters best win.....
    @ashishwarrior......come at me bro.

    I've actually not ignored anything at all.

    1. Was the Witter fight written into his contract? I don't know.

    2. As for fighting once he'd won a world title, Hatton was fighting Urango, Castillo and Floyd.....whilst Witter was facing Corley, Morua and Harris.

    Now would you expect Hatton to drop any of those fights for Witter?

    I'll answer you directly though @Bent-nose....as opposed to trying to sneak it in.

    Harris best win is greater than rays pal im afraid
    Yes you are right out of 60 fights this world beater challenged for a legit title twice
    This content is protected

    Straight after thaxton pal lol
    Fought your boy ray four years nearly half a decade after witter calling for it
    Witter was in line for that British belt hence it went in the bin lol
    That's right a proud British man drops the challenge for the challenge belt
    No big money no big risks hell what a brave man
    Judah was the man at the point of him teaching witter a boxing lesson
    But witter never held any advantages wicky did and just about wrestled and head butted his way to the win in his home town with his own ref own crowd lol against a guy who ain't fought in nearly two years on the back of shoulder surgery
    Castillo traveled all this way and did not make a dime that purse was owed out for him failing to make weight for as previous fight lol
    Is it the questions or the circumstances wicky did better than most round him because of casuals that believed he was the wbu champion of the world a title that no longer exists
    And remember the fighter makes the belt lol
    He should have dug it out and put it on the line against Floyd ummmm

    If Harris has a greater victory than Oliviera....yet Oliviera beaten Harris....

    How old are you? Not only are your posts really hard to read you seem to resort to calling Hatton "Wicky".

    Let me know when Witter beat a guy who was even on JLC level....let alone Tszyu.

    What's the double standards?

    I don't see how me wanting Fury to come back to boxing has anything to do with Witter.

    You have yet to refute anything I've said outside of longwinded, badly wrote posts which don't have one shred of truth or meaning.

    Ignorance is bliss
    Tell me on that video after thaxton the date of it
    Then tell me the date hatton fought fluid
    And why should said star fight said challenger if they ain't drawing big crowds
