    In 2003 Hatton fought his first real world rated fighter in Phillips who was coming off a split decision loss to the number 2 in the division Mitchell, then he went and fought Tackie or Rios i cant remember.

    At the same time Witter was fighting Jurgen Haek......you see where im going?

    Hatton had cracked the top 10 rankings on all belts, Witter hadnt.

    Hatton had a large fanbase, Witter hadnt.

    Hatton was fighting ranked opponents, Witter wasnt (he had twice beaten the south African and lost awfully to Judah)

    The US t.v and British t.v was interested in Hatton, they werent Witter.

    At the point in time you are referring to Witter wasnt even considered a threat to Hatton or to any world champion whilst Ricky was, call it good promoting or what but this is what happened.

    Witter has always been a few steps behind Hatton.

    Witter won his title beating a Demarcus Corley who has never been a elite champion and Corley was more shot than Castillo.

    He then had a gimme defence against Morua and was goddamn awful.

    He then fought a B level former champion in Harris, who had been beaten by Ray Oliveira who people slated Hatton for fighting.

    And then when he fought the first fighter who came to win he lost against Bradley.

    Now just compare Hattons opponents post Tszyu to these and i think take the blinkers off and anyone with a bit of sense has there answer.

    Question for Betty Swollocks................


    What do you think of Hattons girlfriend Jennifer Dooley ?

    (She is the woman that can be seen howling with pain and in floods of tears at his fights)

    True I don't know what became of that, might have fallen by the wayside after Witter turned down Magee. Dunno, I'm just speculating. Back in the day both guys seemed to want it - hence Hatton turning up ringside at a Witter fight for a face to face discussion. Once Hatton beat Tszyu I think it changed with him and his attitude became "why should I give this tool a payday or make his name for him". As I have said the difference is that bearing in mind Hatton's overall career it's not a big deal. If you're Witter or a fan of his (or a Hatton hater which basically equates to the same thing) then it is a big deal because it would have been by far the biggest fight of his career as he could never be arsed to chase any other truly big fights.

    You know what mate im glad im not the only one mentioning this, alot of people like to ignore that this happened.

    So in turn Magee was avoided by Witter:yep

    I can give you your answer right here. She's a dumb bint who lacks sincerity and is only with him for his money and cries crocodile tears. Just like his mum is a chav, his dad is a manipulative conman, his brother is a cnut, he isn't really a City fan, he's crap to watch, he ducks XYZ (even though there is no shred of evidence), his hairdo is crap, he's a fat cnut, Enzo Mac would beat him, every fighter he beats becomes overrated and/or shot after the fight, basically anything to do with him gets routinely laid into.

    This, in a nutshell, is why neither yourself nor Mr Swollocks have a scrap of credibility on this issue. Part of any constructive discussion is to be able to give a balanced and reasonable opinion and look at both sides. Offer constructive criticism but also recognise good achievements. Both of you have shown time and again that you conspicuously lack this capability.

    No-one is defending Witter here

    You want more ammunation against Witter

    He turned down a fight with Peurto Rican KO King - Luis Pinto

    Cotto took the fight instead and took Pintos undefeated record

    Witter is a a annoying guy

    Hattons career is way more succesful than Witters who spend his career fighting at the Donny Dome as TKO always reminds us

    Not the point

    Point is

    Hatton ducked witter because Witter was too dangerous for no great reward

    [quote="TKO";4594724].......the only people who give a stuff (or claim to) about this fight are Witter fans or (more prevalently) Hatton haters looking for some mud to sling.[/quote]

    :nono

    Making statements like this makes you just as bad as the people you are criticising...stop using Witter as a bat to crack Hatton haters with. I'm one of the few real Witter fans about, I don't mind Ricky Hatton and I would have loved for the fight to have been made when it made sense.

    This thread is supposedly about Khan - Hatton, can we please stick to the subject and stop responding to cocks like paedo boy swollocks?

    See posts 71, 75, 78 and 80. Basically, this is just complete speculation on your part and has no basis in fact. A solid written offer for the fight was never on the table at any stage and so your accusation falls flat at the first hurdle. Plus, if that is all you've got to throw at Hatton considering his overall career it is rather weak.

    Good point. Sorry Sir. I just find it uncanny how none of them ever seem to comment on a Witter thread without mentioning Hatton. See Flint's post #81 above. He is clearly not a Witter fan. So what is the game with bringing him up all the time? Answer, solely as a piece of mud to throw at Hatton. His career is decent enough that he deserves better than that and should be discussed on his own merits, not just as a footnote to someone else's.

    I wish Junior all the best for his upcoming title bout. :good

    Who, me? I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a fan but I will support him when he is on against most fighters. I just tend to get a bit overly harsh when I see people throwing mindless abuse at one of the fighters I am a fan of.
