    After hearing Boxing 5 Live and Setanta today seems like after some awkward questions on Witter they seem to be changing there views on Witter, even to the point of Ray Hatton admitting he likes Junior Witter as a person.

    They seem they are now pointing fingers towards Hennessey advsing Witter badly and since Witter said he would fght for free they seem to be talking up about the fight which wasnt the case last month when they were accusing Witter of only wanting the money.


    Positive signs none the less.

    :good

    This fight needs to happen but I can't see it now to be honest. After Hatton beats Laczano it will be Malignaggi and then he'll be chasing a rematch with Floyd most likely.

    I agree, unfortunately it's hard to see it happening. Even after a fight with Malignaggi, it looks like there might be a potenital Hatton Vs Pacquiao fight.

    I really hope these two guys fight. Hatton has the pick and choose of a lot of guys and can line up some very good fights with top contenders but this fight means alot to us British fans. The same fans he seems to want to keep in line with in his man of the people persona.

    I've seen numerous fighters over the years calling out other fighters and declaring that they'll 'fight for nothing'. Have any of them ever done it?

    No. The closest thing would be a winner take all purse.

    Bit harsh calling Witter a nobody!! He's nowhere near as well known as Hatton but he's a legit world champ. Plus, his next fights on ITV and i'm sure you'll use the airtime on terrestrial telly to call hatton out,again!

    In which case what does Hatton have to gain from fighting Lazcano and Mallinaggi.

    Mallinaggi aint achieved any more than Witter thats for sure.

    If Hatton was taking big fights like the Mayweather or someone who is definately way above Witter then we can forgive him saying that Witter hasnt earned it but its the fact hes saying Witter aint earned it and is a nobody and then he goes and fight nobodies himself on PPV.

    Hatton doesnt want to give Witter the biggest pay day of his career.Witter's last fight was at the Doncaster Leisure Centre and the Hitman was at Vegas. End of.
