Hatton, Witter, ducking, scenaroios

My thoughts exactly :thumbsup

 

Absolutely it would.
I don't think Hatton can wait that long. Witter KO Harris in 7rd his last fight. I doubt he's too close to becoming shot in the near future.

 

Hatton was an undefeated fighter with a huge following. He was from abroad. He brought alot of reward and little risk to the table. Of course Floyd jumped at the chance to fight him. Floyd fought Hatton for many more reasons than "Hatton talked ****."

 

Hatton's closer to becoming shot then Witter is.

 

:good

 

basically Witter and his team are as much to blame as Hatton is since they present themselves as a low-reward fight.

 

I'm sure PBF had 14-16 million reasons to fight Hatton, but what i'm saying is that both had to feel they had the risk reward ratio in their favor. Ricky didn't go into the fight defeated thinking if I just show up then I'm ok. Ricky wanted to win and face DLH for an even bigger payday... Same with PBF. He jumped at the fight b/c he knew he would win. But what gets me confused is when people say Hatton wasn't a risk. If that was the case, then Hatton would not have been P4P # whatever at the time.

 

It's not that Hatton was NO risk. But going off his little venture up to WW against Collazo... how could anyone really think Hatton was going to pose much of a risk to Floyd at WW? That, plus Floyd is just better than Hatton in every category regardless of weight. I think that's why people, with at least a little knowledge, said Hatton was low risk for Floyd.

 

I think the whole risk reward equation got skewed after the castillo fight. PBF if I remember correctly struggled against castillo in Feb 2002 when Castillo was primed then PBF got the clear decision in Dec 2002. Hatton destroyed a past prime Castillo in June 2007, leaving people to wonder: is Ricky Hatton as good or better than PBF? based off of that one fighter that both had fought. Therefore the 'huggers' as they are called here jumped and said 'look hatton beat Castillo in 4 rounds.. The same Castillo that pushed PBF to 12rds' Obviously the assumptions were incorrect and PBF proceded to beat the snot out of Hatton. However prior to the beating, many people (knowledgeable or not) thought the risk/reward was in the favor of Hatton. True?

 

Wow.............such an original post,you've certainly came up with a topic that has'nt been done before:think where have you gotten the idea for such a unique threadatsch

 

It may have gotten skewed to the casual fan. Everyone else saw Hatton beat a battle worn, shot Castillo and he recieved very little credit for doing so. Hatton fans tried to look through rose colored glasses and make some kind of irrational comparison.

Witter vs Hatton isn't even in the same league as far as risk vs reward goes.

 

Where can I find some rose colored glasses? I need some to think that gas prices actually aren't that bad. Witter/ Hatton isn't near the risk reward as PBF/Hatton... True... But lets analyse that. Hatton is the recognized 140 champ of the WORLD and Witter is from his own backyard challenging him. I feel that if you have someone who is a legit threat to your title coming from your own country, then you HAVE to address it. For Hatton to duck Witter does more to discredit his championship by avoiding a 'lesser' fighter.

 

I agree. I think Hatton has to fight Witter. There is really no debating that. I think the fight will happen. When...is anybodys guess.

 

Why Cant Witter Fight Torres Or Malinaggi, Perhaps Go To 147 And Challenge Mosely,margarito,cotto,quintana Or Cintron. I Get It Better To Fight Nobodies And Whine That Hatton Wont Fight ,

Plenty Of Fights To Make A Name For Urself Witter Other Than Hatton
Topic Is Played Out And Stale
