    The topic your touching is the fact........that many people put witter down but his 3 losses have all come at certain points in his carrer. I posted earlier say if Hatton had to fight Judah in his 18th pro fight he would not have fared much better and i personally believe he would have lost.....or another angle 3 years into his pro carrer like witter had to do.

    Or if Hatton had to fight the likes of Bradley and Alexander Devon at 34 and 35..........again with Hatton looking like he is on the decline i dont think he would have come out victorious.

    So in effect.........Hatton is in the right place at the right time facing certain fighters.

    Yes............all points agreed............the fighters he faced.....whilst champion for 4 years were ok BUT its not like he cleared out the division or was the undisputed without question the man type thing.

    Many significant fighters during those 4 years were left of his ledger.

    With his media appeal and backing he could have made a fighter with almost any fighter he not Like Paul Williams who dosent have any clout and his to jump 3 divisions to get his chance at stardom.

    Gaz would you also say that Hatton was one of the better managed fighters in british history getting the chances other fighters of equal stature in terms of head to head would have got?

    Hatton may have been stopped by Judah, but there would certainly have been much more of an argument in a Hatton vs Judah matchup in 2000 than there was with Witter.

    Have you considered that Bradley and Alexander were getting Witter at the right time?

    All in all, it is pretty clear that Hatton has had a better career than Witter, who has flattered to deceive at times, and even when on top form, was too busy making an ass of himself calling Hatton out rather than doing his own thing.

    Why is there a need to make an enemy of a fellow British fighter?

    Granted, it was an attractive enough fight, but don't ***** like you're the only spare at the school disco.

    How many champions actually 'clear out a division"? TBH in my book even though he was never undisputed champ he was very much (without question IMHO) 'the man' at 140 from a historical point of view and was also probably the best in the division from 2005 to 2008.

    I agree Hatton was well managed and has got opportunities and chances other fighters of his abilities didn't but that sort of thing has always been the case in boxing and I certainly don't blame Hatton.

    TBH its irrelevant how Hatton would have done against Zab, Alexander or Bradley at certain age or number of fights.

    You may as well ask how WItter would have done against Zoo when he was 25. Totally pointless.

    Careers and fighters develop at different speeds.

    I agree........i love how MMA fighter Fedor goes about his business, dosent smack talk or put down any other figher and gets on with it.

    But wicky hatton is just as guilty as Witter as is Zab, mayweather and there ilk

    I agree with this in particular. Especially with top boxers now fighting no more than 2-3 times a year on average. No sooner does the top fighter beat a top contender than a new "next big thing" rears his head. You only have to look at Calzaghe who clearly bested #2 and #3 in the division in Lacy and Kessler, no sooner had he done that than the threads about Froch/Bute started up. The only fighter that springs to mind over my time as a boxing fan who could legitimately say he had "cleaned out" his division was Hopkins circa 04.

    9 pages. You've all fallen hook, line and sinker for Betty once again. I really don't understand why people feed him.

    To be fair though, in his attempts to dicredit Hatton (while claiming not to be biased) we've also had Utter1 advocating scrapping 140 altogether, merging the weights from 135 to 147 into one division (Juan Diaz vs Paul Williams anyone?), putting together a list of fighters that Hatton didn't defend his 140lb title against that mainly consisted of welterweights and fighters that wern't even considered viable challengers until recently.

    Oh and, by some strange workings of 'logic', trying to make some sort of point by asking how Hatton would have done against fighters he has never fought if he was 35 (ie probably retired for 4 years) when he fought them?

    IMO, Gaz, all of the above is not worth a reply. Some people on here just get a kick out of loading topics and watching the fireworks afterwards. Ill- informed idiots they may be, but they know how to wind people up. I also find it interesting how 'Utter1' and 'Betty's' writing styles look similar and they were never online the same time as eachother:think.
