Witter needs to fight Judah and prove that his previous loss was because he was "green" back then. Only then I will start looking at why Hatton is not interested with him.
Well said Gutto! Witter has won a lot of fights emphatically, 15KO's in a row, but against who exactly? All this about title shots at 9 days notice, it was HIS decision to take the fight, he could have easily said he wasn't ready, which was clearly the case! Trouble is, Witter has spent all his career chasing Hatton. He should have built his own career whilst Hatton was amassing defences of the fabled WBU belt, and made himself the draw, instead of pleading poor on Sky Sports News every two weeks about how Ricky has been really nasty to him. Like a six year old having his apple stolen at play time. Grow up.
Totally agree - i am a massive Hatton fan, but this is getting beyond a joke, in one breath he says he wont fight Witter because hes been slaggin him off - surely thats one reason too get in the ring with him and give him a good beating, but no, then he says he's not affraid of anyone... and if he fights Oscar..thats a joke
Chasing Hatton? You rookies dont get it. Witter got unceremoniously dropped by Warren. Joined Hennesy won all domestic belts, established himself as the best in Europe (meanwhile Ricky was making defences of the WBU and turning down shots for the WBO and EBU vs Corley and Urkal) and has now gone on to be a world champ in his OWN right and yet you chimps think his hanging onto Hatton coatails? Are you guys ****ing kidding me? No what Witter is doing is what every fighter does and thats call out the number 1 in his division so he can beat him! All this bull**** about "his not a draw" "who has he fought" is just that bull****. The kid has earned his right so let him fight. But just like Ricky none of you fans seem to have any faith in your boy. In one sentance you say "why should Ricky fight him" and then in the next you say " oh but Ricky will smash him up!". Makes perfect sense doesnt it.:roll:
whilst i agree with the anti hatton sentiment in this thread, collazo was forced upon hatton by HBO after hatton's original opponent pulled out.
what point? on your last post you could hardly construct a sentence together. oh and yeah fighters may fight for money but what does it have to do with you? why are you making excuses for hatton not fighting witter? witter may not make much money but he can certainly knock hatton the **** out.
witter is hatton's main threat in the 140 division. ricky should either defend his position as the man in that division against someone credible like witter or at a push paulie, or give that position up as he has no right to hold the division hostage. end of story.
****, you hatton fans are a bunch of clowns. name me a more deserving fighter than witter that deserves a shot at the 140 title?
fair play to you mate, good to see some Hatton fans still have their head screwed on and see this situation for the farce it is.
I think witter may be deserving on taking on the best at 140, but thats not the point i was saying, Witter needs to prove himself more before he deserves to take on Hatton. Why shouldn't hatton look at bigger names than that little bit*h witter, all he does is complain about why hatton hasn't fought him yet!!!
man you are ****ing clueless. Witter has been calling him out for years and Hatton has been using excuses like 'he doesn't deserve a shot at me' and 'his profile is too low' and then he fought guys like Vilches, Pdersen and Smith instead. It's a joke. Most of Hatton's fans are so stupid and clueless about boxing they buy this shite. Wicky is a fraud.
thats why hatton chose to fight the popular juan urango. analyse this statement: "he's been slagging me off why would i give him a career payday?" the "champion" won't give his no.1 contender a shot because he slagged him off? does'nt that defeat the purpose of boxing? lets just take note of the fact that this is the most logical fight to be made at 140. hatton says he's about the fans, why won't he give them this fight? i dont hate hatton by the way. you can check my threads started to see that i created a thread acknowledging his valiant effort in the floyd fight. i just find his reasons for ducking witter pathetic.
