    "I don't think I'll ever face Hatton. You never know but I think there's more chance of me facing Khan at the moment. I'd knock Khan out in three rounds and I definitely want to avenge the defeat to Bradley. There's only two fights out there that interest me after Alexander — Bradley and Khan. I should have been mentioned already when it comes to Khan but as soon I've got my title back I will be. I don't really think he wants to face me but the fight can happen and I've got a sneaking suspicion it will. The main thing for me right now is getting the WBC title back, that's all I'm really concentrating on. But when I'm world champion and back on top, I'll have a look around, see who wants to fight and hopefully something can be done."

    "Kotelnik didn't seem to do anything. For me, he just kept chasing Khan around the ring. He followed him round, followed him round and then occasionally threw a couple of shots. He was blocking most of Khan's work but wasn't throwing anything. If you don't throw punches you're not going to win. I'm not saying Khan hasn't got any power but he isn't a puncher.He's less of a puncher than Kotelnik and I wouldn't be worried about his power at all. You've got to give him respect for his ability to stick to a game plan, which is what he did against Kotelnik. But I think Khan got the weakest light-welterweight champion on a poor night."

    I actually think Witter would stop Kotelnik and Amir Khan.

    Well he didnt stop Kotelnik the first time they fought so I doubt he'll do it the second time. He knocks Khan out with a miss tho.

    Hmm, the weakest 140 champion has already beaten Witter, who was saved only by home decision.

    I think Kotelnik has lost quite a bit as a boxer.

    Call me crazy, but I actually think Witter's improved since that time whilst Kotelnik lost quite a bit.

    There is SOME truth to this. I mean Kotelnik was the weakest of the lot at 140 (although he's still pretty darn good) and Kotelnik most certainly did chase him around ineffectively. That said Khan deserves a lot of credit for schooling a 140 lb champ in impressive fashion.

    You had Witter beating Bradley by 2 rounds? Or are we talking about another fight? I hope it's the latter, because if you're talking about the Bradley fight, you need to learn how to score a fight.

    That was the worst split decisions of the year. That was a clear UD for Bradley.

    I think its the Kotelnik fight. That was considered close at the time. The Bradley result was considered fair.
    Edit:Beat me to it.

    I'm not a big fan of Khan, but I'd love him to knock the black off Witter's ass.

    Junior Witter is a joke and a phoney , he has made it his career habit to sit back and call out fighters and dis respect them constantly , i hope Alexander smokes him big time i hate Witter more than any other fighter in the world , he gives British boxing a bad name , if he would just sit back and shut his stupid mouth he might of gotten a) the respect and credit he deserves for his fighting ability and b) some bigger fights .

    Witter's career best win is over Vivian Harris in the Doncaster Dome in front of 3500 fans as WBC champ , enough said !!!!!!!!!!!

    Infact id like to see Witter beat Alexander and then would love to see Khan do a complete number on him , and what in God's name is this man talking about as he himself got a ridiculous home decision against Kotelnik !!!!!! , just before the fight he said Kotlelnik would stop Khan in 7 now he's the worst 140 champ ever !!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh ..............
