    Unfortunately if hatton beats paulie, you can kiss good by to the slim chance of hatton fighting witter, because there are three potential opponents out there JMM, Pac and the Cash machine himself Oscar.

    hes always been a decent euro level fighter, at world level he is always going to be inconsistant.

    He's too easily outworked.

    Gives away too many rounds.

    Witter will not win another world title, you could stick a fork in him - he's done. :)

    In that division... probably.

    Really depends if he has a bit more left in the tank than what he showed against Bradley.

    Bradley is the up-and-comer in that division; I think a half decent Witter would fancy his chances against Kotelnik and Holt.

    His old man was diagnosed with cancer not long before the Bradley fight wasnt he? He could of been in the shape of his life but if you're off your guard mentally as you would be with something like that then you're going to be in trouble.

    Dont get me wrong, he's been in plenty of snoozefests and underperformed a lot, but he might have a valid reason for his last fight.

    i'd give him a good chance at khotelnik who isnt anything special , i think witter needs to keep away from the younger fighters he doesnt want to face a victor ortiz,lamont peterson or alverado for a vacant world strap all 3 of these young men would kick his ass back to sheffield

    he'd beat paulie malignaggi for the IBF if he still had it, and he'd beat them other two africans paulie faced.. i think he could knock out juan urango aswell

    Good enough, yes, has he got the time... maybe not. He's nearly 35 now and is meant to be fighting for the Euro title after he finishes with this guy he's facing on sat, it's maybe gonna be a long way back down that route unless he can negotiate a voluntary shot. He is WBC #2 I think but Bradley will presumably be facing Devon Alexander the #1 next. If the olusegun fight doesn't come off and Witter keeps winning he'll probably be next in line but even so we're talking 18 months by which time he'll be 36 and I don't rate his chances ina rematch with Bradley. Holt maybe, Kotelnik is 50/50 at this point.
