where i come from, if a guy calls you a coward and wants to fight you..........you either concede and walk away (cause you know that you could get seriously hurt).. OR..........you go ahead and fight him. beat him up. end of story. THAT IS WHAT A MAN WOULD DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one thing you dont do: Hide behind excuses and say stuff like: "yeah, i can beat you up but i dont wanna prove it cause my nails aint dry yet"!! THAT IS WHAT A ***** WOULD DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we dont have to speculate. lets just see which road hatton choses to walk down.
Yeah but seriously Doylexx how can he prove his the best in his division if Ricky deliberatly refuses to fight him?:roll:
He can't. But anyone would think he is the only fighter to have ever been put in this position. Hatton was the same for ages, having to fight tomato cans for the fabled WBU strap because Warren couldn't get big fights. If Witter really really wants/wanted Hatton, he could have got him by now - get his promoter to make a really great offer or something. The fact is............your in the fight game to make money, and there is more money to be made elsewhere. Deal with it.
PATHETIC REPONSE. Hatton was the WBU champ Witter is the WBC champ theres not even a comparison between the level of comp and those 2 belts. As for a number 1 not fighting a rightful number 2 you name me how many instances this has happened and wether those fighters who refused to fight walked away with sturdy reps. If Hatton is only interested in money then ****ing say so. Matter of fact quit the dam sport and invest his dough in stocks and shares. Its ironic he lives in some shed in Manchester because his sooooo down to earth and yet the paltry excuse is a bout between him and Witter would make him no money. Hardly matters when his got no clue on how to spend it and the gets his rolex nicked when his abroad.Thats the biggest load of horse **** iv ever read.
'Wicky 'Atton is joost another one of the wads reawwy..........I looove me beer, me kebabs, me darts, me holidays to tenerife, me rolex watches and me private jets.'.
I never said the WBU belt was as good as the WBC belt, all I said was that Hatton spent ages defending it for no reason, because his promoter couldn't make the big fights. I don't know whether Hatton is only interested in making money or not, I haven't got round to asking him yet . He has admitted he ain't that good with money, but so what, most people in the country ain't that good with it, and a lot of people lose things abroad - wtf has that got to do with boxing? Just stop hating
If it was only fights with Mayweather, Cotto etc that Hatton took I wouldn't mind but ducking Witter for guys like Urango makes him look like a joke.
What is this bilge your talking about? Warren had the buying power to make the big fights! How did you think Kostya happened on Hattons home turf? The reason why he defended that belt for so long was because he was making easy money and it was in Hatton and Franks business interests to do so. I mean a record 11 defences of the WBU under the auspices of world class action on SKY SPORTS? Thats not an accident its a ****ing dead liberty. Its not defencable so dont even bother to try and defend it.
Hennesy dont need to. Marketting here is the key. Thats how Enzo Haye happened. Witter Hatton would be even bigger than there bout and look how much the tickets are selling for that at the O2. the prices are marvelous:roll:
