Hatton trainer blasts Warren

Of course i will.Its a shame Hatton doesnt have the same belief in himself as you do .

7 years and still counting..

 

Like I said in an earlier post on this thread, I don't think a lack of belief has anything to do with this whatsoever. Hatton hates Witter for some reason and he appears determined (up to now at least - things might change yet) to punish Witter for it in his own way, ie: never to let Witter make a ****-load of money off the back of a fight with Hatton.

You may not like Hatton and I don't have a problem with that - that's your prerogative, but implying he is in any way scared of Witter after he's just fought Mayweather is pretty ludicrous IMO.

It does amuse me that the Hatton haters have to keep changing their reasons for hating on him. Before the Tszyu fight he was going to get knocked out in the first few rounds, but afterwards he'd fought a shot Tszyu and fought dirty throughout. Then it moved on to him being a hometown fighter who would never fight in the States and would only have Dave Parris or Micky Vann reffing his fights. Once he moved across the pond to explode that myth, we started hearing that he wasn't fighting elite fighters. The choice of Castillo seemed to appease some of the haters but of course afterwards Castillo was shot just like Tszyu had been. When the Mayweather fight was made, the haters really were struggling for excuses - funnily enough, this is probably when they came up with the most sensible judgement yet, and that was that Hatton simply wouldn't be good enough to win. Obviously, this was proved right in the end but at least Hatton has put to bed all the other bollox about hometown fights, Hatton-friendly refs, and crap opponents. Now that he's fought the best in the world, I don't think anyone can ever accuse him of running scared from any fighter ever again.

 

but Witter has offered him a winner takes all, he also offered to fight for very little in the past. So that bull**** excuse does not wash either.

This latest excuse makes Hatton and his fans sound desperate and pathetic...this is ****ing boxing......it's a good thing there haven't been many Rikcy Hattons in the history of boxing as we'd have missed out on so many big fights.
'I don't like him so won't fight him'. you couldn't make it up, so ****ing stupid.

 

O you mean like the same way Hatton lemmings come up with a myriad of excuses as to WHY he shouldnt fight Witter? Wow he fought PBF and got beat back to 140.But tell me which fighter from 35 to 154 wouldnt fight PBF? With all that money on the line **** id make 154 tommorow for a Mil.

 

The no selling tickets excuse Is crap.

Witter Ko'es Hatton, Floyd showed timing and couter punching can beat Hatton.

Witter.:happy

 

We`ve all known this for years.Why do you think Warren steered him clear of him.I mean which enormously hyped fighter would want his bubble busted by a semi-nobody.I mean little Ricky could get found out!

 

It's all well and good Witter saying that but believe you me if it got to the negotiating table there's no way Witter would be prepared to fight him for next to nothing.

By the way, I'm not making excuses - I said earlier I'd love the fight to take place and not just to shut all you haters up either lol. What I was trying to say was that something has happened between these two in the past for Hatton to not be prepared to fight him. You can't tell me it's because he's scared of Witter though. Witter is a good fighter and would cause him problems but Hatton has fought (and beaten) better fighters.

Anyway, never say never - Hatton's dad reckons it will take place at some point and if it does you'll have to move on to another excuse for hating on Hatton:good

 

I agree that some of the excuses that some come up with for the two of them not fighting are daft - things like Hatton needs Witter less than Witter needs Hatton, Witter does nothing for Hatton's legacy, the fight would not interest the American public, etc. I don't buy any of those - I just think he hates Witter so much that he's happy seeing him fight in front of two men and a dog in Doncaster for the rest of his days. It's a real shame because I myself want the fight to take place but it is true that Hatton doesn't have to make this fight at this time - he has plenty of other options open to him. Having said that, Witter doesn't necessarily need to fight Hatton either - perhaps he should take Hatton's lead and fight known names in the States from now on and show the American public how good a boxer he is. But that's up to his promoter to sort out surely? I've said earlier in this thread that Witter deserves far bigger public acclaim than he currently has - his destruction of Vivian Harris was worth far more column inches in the newspapers than it actually received.

 

Thats what happens when a fighter is a built for a fall.Warren knew precisely what he was doing with Witter and like the ***** he is ****ed his career. Mick Hennessy doesn't have half as much buying power as Warren. Now that Warrens former cash cow is making it big he himself is like a bitter old girlfriend thats been spurned. Witter is a dangerous commodity.Unfortunately his also a commodity with little buying power thanks to Warren.If his career was promoted properly from the beginning as was Ricky's no one would be singing this tune.

 

Well at least we're agreed on something - Warren's a **** lol. It's a shame about Hennessy - if he had Warren's clout then Witter would deservedly be making more money for himself and a bigger name for himself too. With regards to Warren's promoting of Hatton - it was done very cleverly but if Hatton hadn't put his foot down when he did, he'd still be fighting lesser names for the WBU belt at the MEN and you can only get away with that for so long before being ridiculed - truth be told, Hatton possibly should've been fighting a better calibre of opposition a couple of years earlier than he did. Warren did secure the Tszyu fight admittedly, but seemingly only because Hatton demanded the fight be made.

 

Hatton was happy raking in the cash at the M.E.N.It was good and easy money.But in the end when he was that many fights in he knew it was time to step it up or no one would take him seriously.All those WBU defenses never should have happened it went on far to long.Hatton was light years ahead of all those cans he was bashing up.

Its more a testament to Witters skills in the ring that after being unceremoniously dumped by Warren went on to annex all domestic titles and then a world title.That was a tall order a a tough ask considering his circumstance.

 

I'm not disagreeing with you there - Hatton was definitely happy with the situation for a good while. Thankfully, he decided to do something about it eventually. Obviously, I'm not saying everyone he's fought since has been a big name - I think he wanted to build up his stock in the States first - but chances are that he will never fight another bum fighter again.

I agree on Witter - it's taken him a long time to get where he is now and with more influential people around him, he'd have gotten there sooner. Just because I'm a Hatton fan and Hatton hates Witter, it doesn't mean I hate Witter as well. Don't get me wrong, if they did get it on in the ring I'd want Hatton to knock him out but only because I'd be supporting Hatton rather than hating Witter.

 

Good stuff:thumbsup Subjective Hatton fans like yourself are a rare breed.Most are very neandethal like in there assumptions and views on a Witter Hatton clash.

 

No worries. To be honest I guess I fit the nightmare profile of the casual Hatton fan (or casual boxing fan even) - I'm no expert on the sport and unlikely ever to be, and any interest I had in boxing waned when it disappeared off terrestrial TV back in the 90's. However, with Hatton coming from my hometown, supporting the same team as me, and getting shed-loads of publicity, it re-ignited my interest in the sport and to be fair I was one of those blinkered feckers who initially thought whenever he beat some tomato can or other at the MEN, that he was winning fights against reputable names. But it didn't take much digging around to realise this wasn't the case and that he desperately needed to step up the quality of opponent he was facing. Nowadays, I'll still readily admit to not possessing much knowledge of boxing but my interest in it is greater than ever before - it isn't just Hatton that interests me now. I show a keen interest in most of the domestic fighters and many of the more renowned foreign names, something which I never would've done previously.

 

i am a big hatton fan myself. i do get sick of hearing people constantly slag him off after all he has done for british boxing. but even i have to agree that Witter wants him and if he never fights him. he will be a coward
