He's such a big name he can fight anybody he wants to fight and sell 50,000 out, why should he fight Witter (still unanswered)? He is the best at 140, and there's nobody to fight there except he wants to fight in MSG so he'll fight Paulie next... it's Hatton's choice because he's the only name at the weight. 147 is for Ricky to test himself. At 140 he's already done it.
Why did Eubanks fight Benn ? Legacy you dumb ass. You only go down as a great boxer if you fight the top guys in your division and beat them. Hatton only wants to face the punnani like maligfaggi in the light welter division. I guess shills like you will pay to watch hatton fighting bums. It does nothing for Hattons reputation and nothing for his legacy. He will go down as a fighter who beat a past prime Kostya through hugging and schooled by PBF.
Eubank fought Benn because they were both stars in Britain and it was a massive fight that had to happen. Witter is neither Eubank or Benn. atsch
Maybe it is.But WHO GIVES A ****? If that was the qualifyer to face Hatton then 75% of his opponents wouldnt have even got a look in. Resume beside his the number 2. Honourable champs do the right thing and defend there title. JC has done it, Hop RJJ Pac DLH Floyd Cotto Shane etc etc. Everyone who`s someone has faced the best man in there divison to prove there crown.But Ricky would rather fight easy numbers and make easy money.Now thats not a problem. BUT DO NOT SAY YOUR DOING IT FOR YOU ****ING FANS. Joe at least cleaned out 68. What the **** has Hatton done? Who has he faced at 140 that was a top 10 contender? Thats right 1 person Kostya Tsyzu and that was 2 years ago. Jose was never ranked in the top 10 back then as he was at 35 and Urango barely even turned pro.And yet this man is seen as the big cheese at 140? Give me a ****ing break. Hattons tenure as the man at 140 has been about as legitmate as George Bushes presidency.
So much so that he refuses to even acknowledge Witter? Yeah that sounds like a confident fighter with a confident resume.
Was the G-Man a star (in the UK) when Benn fought him in the UK ? No half the UK boxing fans had never heard of him let alone seen him before. On the one hand you keep harping on about Hatton being the dogs bollacks when it comes to getting punters through the door and now you saying the exact opposite. If Hatton can pack the place out what is wrong with fighting Witter to create some form of legacy rather than fighting Mr Bean and Luccanza ?
Even if I was 10 years old, I'd probably have heard of Benn and Eubank today. I wouldn't have a clue who Junior Witter is.
Thats the whole issue with Hatton fans isnt it. Maybes whatifs possibles and could be`s.When was the last time you saw Lazcano fight?
Not at 168 was he you Hatton nuthugger. Was Kessler well known and a big hot shot in the UK when JC fought him ? NO but everyone in the knew he was the man for JC to beat to set his legacy at 168. Man you talk so much **** and know so little that it is pointless even replying to your posts.
