Why did hatton who was world class not beat schvechko He said he was the bigger man and would bully PAC put your house on it what happened Judah at the time was no1 yeah he got beat and came back and won the belt the belt that let's say Floyd prefers What did hatton do when he got beat Fell into oblivion Gtfoh A spade is a spade
If Hatton dropped the British to avoid Witter why did Witter spend the next 2 years fighting journeymen and not fight for the British title until he fought Bosworth for it in 2002?
Judah was never number 1 at 140, not when Tszyu was there and last time I knew Hatton was the man who dethroned him. As for Senchenko (that's the correct spelling) Hatton was coming off a 2/3 year layoff and jumped in against a world ranked opponent. Now that was 2012.....who was Witter fighting again? Oh yeah getting bullied by Gavin. Calling a spade a spade mind.
Tszyu had fought 8 months previous beating Mitchell and he was ranked top 3 P4P at the time. I'm not bothered how Senchenko is seen on these boards, but you seem to be ignoring the fact that Witter got easily beaten by Gavin.
Making the fight? He took the fight at short notice and went the distance at a time when Judah was knocking everyone out.
Ask his promoter. Perhaps he had one kid selling lots of tickets and didn't want a black kid from Bradford bumping him off.
Hatton won the vacant British belt in 2000 and a 23 year old Witter called him out live on TV. Hatton turned down the fight and refused to fight him ever. In his autobiography Hatton said that Witter shook his hand at the BBC sports personality awards and said "One day" and for this reason he chose to never fight him. Witter losing a British title fight at the age of almost 36 is not really relevant.
Hatton wouldn't defend his belt. Bosworth was the only fighter ranked high enough who would fight Witter for the belt. Witter was awarded the Lonsdale belt as no other fighter was prepared to box him.
Well let's be honest he didn't as he ran the whole 12 rounds. It was like Morrade Hakkar fighting Hopkins.
You cannot knock out a guy who evaded confrontation by running away. Anyway Tszyu KO R2 Judah......Judah over Witter (embarrassing performance) and Hatton beat Tszyu. These are facts.
