Witter has serious overlooked KO power, he could make Hatton look stupid, although Hatton went 10 with Mayweather was pretty impressive even though if the fight went on the 12 it would probably have been a near shut out, since I had only Hatton winning one round, a Witter win is very likely.
If Hatton thinks he can make more money fighting Oscar, let him AND DON'T BUY THE FIGHT! The fans make and break the fights. Boycott Hatton's next fight if it's so important.
WTF witter just wants to fight the best he has earnt the right ? you can tell that from his record. What is it you dont get Witter could not sell out his front room. I am not a Witter hater full marks for going to the states to fight and make his name.Hatton beats witter no problem
what does anything have to do with selling out? does ricky hatton give you a percentage of his purse? if not then why do you care what ricky makes? this is about the number 1 and number 2 light welters fighting, this would be a huge domestic fight.
I agree, fraud is a bit strong. But he should be fighting those next in line, instead of some bull**** super fight with DLH... I mean I would rather watch Hatton fight Witter than DLH, and while the general public might not agree, I think all boxing fans will
exactly...why should boxing fans give a **** about the reasons hatton gives as to why he won't fight witter. we just want to see the fight happen.
give the guy a break...he just fought mayweather..and he took the fight to Mayweather..there is absolutely no shame in losing to the #1 pound for pound fighter. Stop hating people..Hatton has fought good comp.
I wouldn't call Hatton a fraud but can't you see that him being prepared to fight Tszyu or Mayweather isn't the same as fighting Witter? Losing to either of them would have only have meant he lost to the best & he wouldn't have lost as much respect but losing to Witter would be embarassing. The Lennox Lewis analogy isn't really accurate as he was the one being avoided.
Conveniently left out of this envious tirade: "But you can never say never. Fair play to Junior - he's won a world title and looking really, really good at the minute." A fight against Oscar would probably be at a catch weight between welter and junior-middle, and I don't know if that would be suitable weight-wise because I'm a 10 stone fighter." Hatton is ducking Witter only if they dont fight within the next 15 months Id agree. but what about Mayweather...Cotto? Isnt he been ducking Cotto Hopkins certainly hasn't been too keen on mentioning Chad Dawson's name Roy Jones ducked everyone and anyone for 5 years Pacquaio took 5 yrs to give Marquez a rematch and hasnt fought Guzman All these guys duck certain fighters. Are they all pussies or just Hatton. Seems to me the author has an axe to grind here. Witter has had the same opportunity as Hatton to make a name for himself . Hatton didnt need Witter to make himself a marketable guy in the US Why does Witter and you seem to think he needs Hatton. Have him fight Torres, Malinaggi, jump up in weight and challenge Cotto or any of the other welters. Maybe then he will be in position to tell Ricky to get lost Im not giving you the chance.
Why would Hatton fight Witter if there's no money (only for Witter) in it, the non-British boxing world (the silent 99%) wouldn't give a f._.ck anyway, and if Witter made all the trash talk disrespecting Hatton wouldn't it be the biggest punishment NOT to fight him and NOT let him earn millions with Hattons name? Make no mistake - Hatton would KNOCK OUT Witter in a few rounds. And this could be an interesting fight, no doubt. But where are the millions? Ricky earned couple of dozen million dollars last time, why would he fight for 2 this time? C'mon, it's pro boxing. There's no money in it. HBO wouldn't buy it and bet that Hatton is still an HBO fighter, and that's that, end of story. Maybe, MAYBE if Witter would defeat Malignaggi on SHO or HBO that could wake up the interest in American TVs who's bringing the money at this stage of Rickys career. So whenever Ricky chooses an opponent he has to approve it by HBO too. So the Hatton-Witter clash is not impossible just Witter haven't became the BIG NAME he claims he is (yet). When Malignaggi and Torres are forced to fight (in the case of Cotto) they can make any match-up very exciting. So no one should blame Ricky IF he chooses one of them over Witter. And hey, why wouldn't he deserve a tune-up after his first loss, a KO loss? Hatton's carrier is not over yet. If the time and the money is right, the big fights, including Witter (if he ever become a big name) will happen. Don't worry.
it makes no difference to me at all but are you for real fighters fight for money and it would be a good domestic fight for sure and one I would love to watch. WITTER HAS EARNT THE RIGHT **** OFF he is a champ a title he has just one get real he has always been 2 steps behind Hatton and thats what pisses him off untill now if you honest if you were hatton would you fight witter or fight the p4p no1 and earnt 15 mill get real its all about the money. The one point I will agree with is its not right it shouldent be just about the money but it is
