    I don't know anything about that. Fact is that Witter fights a bit like Magee but is on another level.

    Bad styles match up for Junior, that's why he ducked Magee. To duck and then accuse others of ducking is very hypocritical though.

    You listed ten fighters of which only Tackie and Phillips fought Hatton coming off losses (both to Sharmba Mitchell).

    I'll leave you to explain how two out of ten is 'most'.

    I mean in there last 5 fights all but 2 had been coming off loses.

    Are you blind i didnt mean there actual last fight.

    Look at there ages though. Tell me you have never questioned a more pampered record in your life.

    I mean Hatton never fought a ranked fighter until after 32 fights or something stupid like that.

    That's what 'coming off a loss' generally means.

    Like ive said before i dont hate Hatton but some think he is alot better than i actual think he is.

    I mean imagine if a Pacman didnt fight anyone decent until his 30th fight.

    Tackie was what Hattons 34th or 35th fight. Hattons firt real title fight was in his 39 th Pro fight

    For some comparisons
    Tszyu fought Title fight at 15th
    Pacman fought title fight at 25th
    PBF fought title fight at 18th
    Juan Diaz fought tile fight at 25th

    But hey dont get me wrong there are other guys that have taken longer.
    But Warren protected Hatton like there was no tommorow and now Khan is getting the same.

    Thaxton was a big fight for a young Hatton. He was badly cut in the 1st or 2nd round (I forget which).
