Whats the point in Hatton fighting on?

the difference in styles lately has shown hatton would be a nightmare for witter....bradley is a poor man's hatton in some ways, becasue he loves to get on the inside of guys....and what happened? witter got floored by bradley and lost a decision.....

hatton is all wrong for witter after i saw the bradley fight....

witter's carear highlights on the international scene is gettling floored by bradley and running around like a girl i nthe judah fight....

 

Yeah I get the point, completely slipped my mind actually that fight. OK then his only loss at 140.

 

Don't be fooled into thinking that I'm a Witter fan.I don't like him one bit.I dislike him more than I do Hatton but I think he deserved a shot at Hatton and as a neutral I would want to see that fight(not now,but in the past)

Yeah fair enough,the Urango win is a good win,under-rated even

 

Well you thought wrong then. History is littered with examples of British fighters who fought for world belts without even winning the British title. The "traditional" British-European-Commonwealth route to a title shot is a thing of the past and you can see why when fighters can get to the verge of a shot fighting terrible opposition like that I mentioned above. The likes of Magee, Tackie, Phillips, Oliveira and Stewart were all good international class fighterss. If you want to talk about easy defences, let's talk about Lucky Sambo, Fred Kinuthia, Salvatore Battaglia, Krystof Biensas or any more of those non-top-50 clowns Witter fought in his EBU/Commonwealth reign.

What's good for the goose is good for gander and Witter's opposition was appalling for 5 years. Difference was, Hatton took a whole load of harder, more challenging fights than Witter and several others which were comparable. Hatton would have been the hardest fight of Witter's career by a country mile (except maybe Judah which was a track meet not a fight). That's why one of them will be remembered years from now and the other a footnote in history. The point is however much some haters with an agenda try to make a big issue out of a point which is irrelevant on the world scene, real boxing fans know that Witter is just convenient **** to throw at Hatton and if it wasn't him it would be somebody else. You only have to look at how quick the "Hatton is avoiding Bradley" threads sprouted up last June to know that!

 

I don't have a problem with that, it's fair enough. I have a problem with certain idiots on here acting as though it was the be all and end all, for no other reason than to push their own agenda of irrational hating towards Hatton.

 

My last word on this topic. If you call not going out of your way to take on a fighter, based mainly on personal dislike and refusal to offer him a payday and career exposure, then okay he did. However, there would then be literally thousands of "ducks" going on in world boxing everyday. My view of ducking is to turn down a reasonable offer to fight an opponent for no good reason. Which clearly does not apply here. So we can but judge them on the rest of their careers and the risk appetite shown there. Which in Hatton's case was willingness to travel and mix it with the absolute elite out there. In Witter's case staying at the Donny Dome fighting cans.

Congratulations on how you've managed to turn yet another completely irrelevant thread into the same old debate, but any chance the whole subject can be dropped now? It's been done to death, everyone's views are well known and no matter how many times the likes of Batty ****** try and slip "black is white" into their posts as an argument, those views are not going to change.

I asked Hatton about fighting Witter last Friday in Dusseldorf.
He was barely coherent and it was weird thinking this boozebag had been fighting for 10 million pounds not too long ago.


Q-Would you fight Witter?

A-I'd rather **** on him,i'd rather **** on him

I always questioned whether Hatton saying he wanted to deny him a pay day was the truth....Guys,it's most certainly the truth.

Will say,altho I was shocked by the state of him,he let us take pictures and is a genuine good guy.

 

:bart

Doubt it.

 

Oh dear as I said you are still walking in your Hatton wonderland and you now have to tell fibs to enhance the legend that is Hatton like how he left Manchester to fight Tsyzu when in fact he hugged him and low blowed in Manchester infront of his home fans.

Hatton didn`t knock out Collazo, he sneaked through with a very dubious decision.

Mayweather had an easy nights work but away from being the loudmouth in the build up to a fight he is a very humble guy after victory and will say the things that Hatton and his fans want to hear like "I will give Hatton a rematch at Wembley" and "Hatton is a great fighter" even though Hatton faired no better than what a club fighter would have on the night.

Now you get yourself all confused and gob off that Hatton will beat Witter because he has got more fans and is more popular and that he will KO Khan even though the last person Hatton KO`d was a busted flush named Castillo who only took the fight because he had serious debts to pay off.

If Hatton were to fight Khan or Witter to placate the braindead numpties who drunkenly sing theres only one Ricky Hatton then he`s going to get seriously hurt..........

Now I ask the question again as a Hatton fan is it really worth going through all the Hatton hype and bullsh*t just to be disappointed again?

 

So your saying Hatton has NO CHANCE of KOing young Amir??

Your as deluded as Hattons most biased of fans:nut

 

Hatton has a punchers chance of course just like he had a punchers chance against Lazcano.

But no I dont think Hatton would KO Khan or Witter and I think the latter would KO Hatton at any stage of his career.
