Even Rees couldn't be bothered with Witter, and people wanted Hatton to fight him.

ENZO CALZAGHE BEFORE REES GOT BEAT.

" Rees got a mandatory defence first but I can say this now after that I’ll be looking for Ricky Hatton. Without a question of a doubt.
He’ll have true rewards from that, beating Ricky and then taking the money off him as well.
First he’ll take his money then he’ll beat him. Junior Witter’s worth nothing moneywise. Ricky Hatton’s worth a monster amount.
I want Gavin to cement himself financially and his ambition is to beat Ricky Hatton.
This is not nasty talk, because I respect Ricky big time, I respect what he’s done. He’s a good champion and he’s a good guy as well.
In boxing terms, its common sense I talk this way. He’s after what Ricky can pay. Boxing Ricky is not like boxing Junior Witter. Financially there’s a massive gulf in that.
With Ricky Hatton involved it will be a massive fight. We can’t wait. First thing we need to do is get the mandatory fight sorted, but a Hatton fight will come."
