    Complete Bull. Hatton could have fought Witter when he ws just a WBU belt title holder. Dont tell me about money because HATTON fought bums like Vilches and Pederson when Witter was European Champ!

    Junior has always talked himself up and has wanted to take Ricky on I'll give him that......but in all honesty how could he ever have expected to fight Hatton when he's never had any money to bring to the table,he can't even fill the 7000 seater Doncaster Dome with fans...When its all said and done they fight for money so why consider fighting him when there was Kosta and Floyd who would test him and Bring the networks on board stateside and the purse would be massive...............ducked him...no chance...he was a small fish,but now not so small and I think this fight will happen in the next 12 months.

    Hatton has the chance to go down as one of the very best light welters, but he wont unless he fights he's best challenger, Junior Witter.

    there is simply no excuse for the fight not to be made!

    sooner or later hatton will have to take the fight if he wants to be taken seriously... not thinking of a rematch with pbf

    Your entitled to your opinion,I just don't agree with anyone who believes he'll take on the best but will duck the standard Witter...........it is an argument that can't stand up for me but thats what we post on here for.

    He's already taken seriously,thats why he's signing for fights that make him millions....but I would like to see him take him on just to put an end to all this.

    So in 2004 Vilches and Pederson were the best fighters around?

    When I saw Ricky last it looked like he'd have more chance of unifying at 200 with Haye moving up

    Witter stats he would like to fight Mayweather as well but Mayweather has shown no interest whatsoever. Mayweather is ducking Witter as well. :patsch

    Mayweather totally disrespected Hatton and Hatton did the same yet fought each other, why does he chicken from the Hitter?

    No one Is shamed and considered exposed when fighting Mayweather though and Witter's the high risk low reward fighter.

    Plus Ricky can't use the weight excuse when Witter outclasses him since he will be fighting at 10 stone.:deal

    Hatton being famous cant be used as an excuse. As you can use that argument against anyone.

    Ricky can go on fight the Lazcanos of the world because 'nobody else brings enough to the table'.

    Witter brings alot! he brings the WBC title, and universal respect from all REAL BOXING FANS, not the mugs that wear Man City shirts and sing blue moons who dont have a clue who Ray Leonard is let alone Junior Witter!
