    Hatton fought Tszyu, Castillo, Floyd and Pacquiao yet he ducked Witter? :lol:

    Hatton aimed for Tszyu got him beat him then almost immediately set his sites on breaking into the states which he did amazingly well and made himself one of the main attractions in the sport. He is now one of the biggest names in the sport without Junior Witters help.

    I ask why couldnt Witter do the same without Hattons help? Why did Ricky go on and get the headline fights at the MGM and Junior get stuck on Carl Froch undercards in a half empty nottingham arena against Timothy Bradley? Witter has no1 to blame but himself for his lacklustre career but himself.

    Give it a rest with Witter chat, different leagues. Desert Storm put Witter in his place last year; average fighter, just a passing beltholder.

    Witter was quality - clearly more impressive than Hatton on that long KO streak after the Zab judah fighter.
