    Vilches was a **** opponent granted.

    But can you really say that at the time the fights were made, that Witter was better than Phillips, Tackie and Magee? Not sure I can :huh

    Maussa was taken for an easy unification fight, and because he wanted to get back into the ring at the earliest opportunity, whilst I can't really explain why the Urango fight was made - perhaps an easy one for the first time topping the bill in Vegas :think

    Witter was on the Hatton-Phillips undercard to promote a fight between the two. Witter looked ****. He blew it like it always seems to.

    Sorry Gaz don't agree.

    To me, you shouldn't be spouting off wanting world title shots when you haven't even proved that your the best at your weight division in your own country, nor having faced anyone capable of hitting him back.

    All this about being 21, total bollocks. If he was 31, I would be saying the same thing.

    No, I wouldn't neccessarily say he was better than every one of them at the time

    What I would say is that it is starting to wear EXTREMELY thin as an excuse, when he has had all these opportunities to take the fight and hasn't. And now he's just got another fight with Lazcano...and then Malignaggi...and then...

    See where this is going?

    Thats when the Witter fight should have happened, when Hatton was killing time making WBU defences at the MEN. It didn't happen and thats not really the end of the world when you consider who Hatton went on to fight.

    If Hatton had manned up it is entirely possible the hype train would never have left Manchester Piccadily.

    Didn't Hatton want a Witter fight put in his contract when he was with Warren?

    I reckon the ESB Brit section would have closed down as well because its all we seem to ****ing talk about around here.

    If we'd have had the answers to the questions when we should have done, tensions wouldn't be quite so high :good

    I wouldn't have said he was better than any of the three aforementioned names AT THAT TIME.

    But now - Lazcano and Maligfaggi? Clearly, (to me anyway) Witter is better than both.
