before when Witter hadny proven he was anything i didnt minfRicky not bothering with him, now he is WBC champ at 140, hatton shouldbe taking notice!
I think Hatton's aim will be to unify the 140 lbs weighht division. He'll beat Witter, then beat Pauile, until he wins all the belts.
I always let Ricky off with the "witter isnt in my league" stuff before but as it stand Witters got that green belt and if Ricky avoids him now it will have to be acknowledged as just that !
Witter's very awkward, another classic Ingle champ. Hatton should take on Rees first. It's an easier fight back after such a loss, and it gives hard-working Rees a lovely payday. Witter-Hatton can be hyped up more then, especially if Witter grabs another title in the meantime. I don't know that Witter would beat Malignaggi, of course, but more Americans in the fights is better for Hatton anyway to keep his US fans. He keeps them on board if post-Rees he fights Malignaggi or a guy who just beat him.
Witter would spark him. Knew Hatton's lack of denfence would be exposed by someone with accuracy and timings who also counter punches.
