    Just saw the article posted on BScene

    Says after Alexander the only fights he is interested in is Khan and Bradley as he knows he has no hope in facing Hatton.

    On Khans performance - "You've got to give him respect for his ability to stick to a game plan, which is what he did against Kotelnik. But I think Khan got the weakest light-welterweight champion on a poor night."

    Seemed to me Witter was bigging Kotelnik up no end before the fight, now hes just the weakest champ.

    Anyway a fight UK fans want to see?

    Junior Witter would knock Khan out by boring him like he does to the rest of us...

    I'd be wanting Witter to win if they fought, but would back Khan against most other people.

    Think age may play a factor if they fought, Witter is no spring chicken, if he was a few years younger he'd be a certainty imo.

    And that's precisely why he won't be fighting Amir Khan.

    Khan will duck Junior, just like Hatton has for the last decade.

    Witter is the worse fight for Khan. I think Khan is tailor made for Witter. Witter is a counter puncher with power a pretty good one at it. He might not get Khan early but he'll get him and I think he'll only need one connection to deal with Khan.

    But I think Witter should worry about his next opponent before talking about Khan. He was mouthing of about Hatton before Bradley and look what happened

    True enough there mate. However in boxing the A beats B beats C theory dosent work out like that.

    Example: Bernard Hopkins loses twice to Jermain Taylor - who twice goes on to lose to Kelly Pavlik. Logic says Kelly Pavlik beats Bernard Hopkins but we now know that is not the case.

    Styles make fights and all that.....................

    At this stage in their careers, Witter probably would knock khan out in 3 rounds.

    That's true but I'm talking about Junior playing Kotelnik down, despite having scraped past him himself

    In terms of Witter - Khan, tough fight to call, I'd probably lean towards Witter but Khan could easily outwork him

    I think Witter has been overrated for years, personally

    I think Witter takes this. Khan would probably be leading on points at the time though.
