    While style wise I felt Witter was bad for Hatton I would have to pick Hatton in this showdown. For me either guy still stops Khan.

    I can imagine it now...two sets of roaring, cheering fans. It wouldn't be the first time that me and a couple of mates have faced down a raging mob of Mancunians :D

    I meant he would be happy considering all the **** Witter's been talking about him lately:good. Before last night, the general consensus was that Witter was no easy night for Khan as well. A defence against Salita and maybe a unification afterwards:think.

    How on earth do you work out that Hatton's shot? He lost to the best fighter in the world at any weight, for all we know he could still be able to take out the rest of the guys at 140. He may be shot but I don't think you can say that until he steps back into the ring. Witter, too, I am willing to give another chance to bearing in mind the injury he sustained, however, he might find it difficult to work his way back into contention.

    One thing I am sure of they will not fight now - Hatton has never wanted to give him a payday why would he relent all of a sudden now?

    You are a walking contradiction. Firstly you say Hatton's shot then you say who knows what the effect will be next time he steps into the ring, i.e. wewho knows whether he's shot or not?

    As for Enzo Mac, he's not a shell of the fighter he once was, he was just never much good to start with. He was carefully manipulated into the world rankings bullying smaller men and journeyman. When he stepped up a level his limitations were ruthlessly exposed.

    As for "getting away with never having to fight Witter", I repeat he's given the British public Tszyu, Castillo, Mayweather and Pacquiao. Realistically, who gives a stuff about Junior Witter? What has he given to the public to compare with the above? He is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

    As for the 50/50 split I think you're just trying to be controversial there. Hatton does not want to give Witter a payday full stop, there's no way in hell he'd offer him the chance to make (very likely) more money in one fight than he has his whole career.

    The same "eggy" chin that stood up to the best shots of Tszyu, Tackie, Phillips, Urango etc...? It's one thing someone with the speed, power, timing and volume of Manny Pac to brush Hatton aside, but Witter isn't a particularly big puncher, I can't see his shots bothering Hatton too much.

    As ive always thought Hatton by TKO.

    Hatton would keep Witter on the back foot and break his heart.

    Witters footspeed and power have always been overated, certain people who i will refrain of speaking of have called him in the past Mayweather with a punch:lol:

    Prime for prime Hatton in 10

    Now Hatton in 7

    He is not on the Official Glass Jaw Rankings for nothing.Ask Zakman,his chin is grade A china-that's the worst on the official scale.

    Frank Warren said in the Sun on the weekend - that Hatton would not have beaten a prime Tsyzu

    Warren had good word he was a faded force - so brought him over to face Ricky...........
