Junior Witter Wasted Talent

I'd love to see him beat Alexander. It's the kind of fight that has "man vs. boy" written all over it.

 

Yes and no. I feel that he has great physical talents, switch hitting skills and power.

As a man he lacks character and balls to forge his own way. He tried to ride the coattails of hatton, disrespecting with no no tongue in cheek and rubbed every one up the wrong way.

So in my opinion he wasn't the package and didn't achieve greatness because he is not great.

Why he didn't just make his own way i do not understand. He just knocked hatton at every opportunity and gloated in the fact that hatton was avoiding him, all the while hatton was following his dream.

Witters is good in my eyes but hatton is great.

 

zab judah is wasted talent.

witter is just a fake ass prince naseem with NO POP.

 

Fair point man, but as the dust settles and we look back. I honestly don't think that a guy that took on and beat kostya tzu, and who went up in weight to fight the P4P 1 floyd mayweather, and challenged the P4P 1 manny pacqaiou is going to be defined by not fighting junior witter. Hatton acheived so much because he had desire and drive that witter lacked. I feel sorry for witter and at 35 and still competing at top level, it shows that he had the skills.

 

Taken from the autobiography of Zab Judah himself. Judah is another fighter who just lacked in the cool head department. What a wasted talent, i don't understand why he doesn't fight a at LWW? he weighs in at 144!

 

witter is a wasted talent yes, because as has been said, he spent too much time chasing hatton and not enough building his own resume and creating a legacy hatton would have wanted to fight. did he have skills? yes. But i'm afraid i don't ever seeing him reaching the top echelon of the top. he had the skills to compete with almost anyone but even if his skills were tested against the best (ie: Zoo) he probably would have lost. I think the Judah loss, green or not, puts things into perspective. For his own legacy, it almost helps that he never had a chance to step up as he never had to lose in his true prime

 

I wouldn't write him off yet. If he wins his next bout he gets a belt and a lucerative unification fight could then be on the cards against Khan. I see Khan outworking him and smothering him with his rapid flurries of punches if they do meet though.
What I'd prefer though would be a re-match with Bradley who won a close fight at a time when Witter was mentally all over the place and looked off form.

 

b/c the bigger fights are at 147.

 

I know but he must be getting tired of losing them all.

 

zab NEVER gets tired of losing. that's called determination where i come from :rofl

 

Repeating the same mistakes is called something else

 

I doubt Judah can get to 140 anymore how many times has he said he is dropping down and he always takes the 147 or comes in 144 for a fight. He probably could if he dedicated himself to it but don't think Judah has the heart for it
