Junior Witter:- the truth!

:good

 

Pretty good post there - couldn't agree more.

I am a Hatton fan, and dislike (though rate) Witter. He doesn't really deserve a shot, but the fact is that he is undoubtedly the second best 140lb'er and the fight must therefore take place.

Witter has again piggy backed his way on the back of Hatton, fair play if you can get away with it - but to accuse him of ducking, when he moved up a weight (to which he ain't suited), across the Atlantic to tackle the best fighter in the world in his own back yard is strange.

Mayweather is one of top 5 P4P all time, losing to him is no disgrace - look at his other opponents, Oscar De La Hoya, Diego Corrales et al, they all went the same way.

 

Witter is actually a nice chap when you meet him personally.

 

witter would lose to the tszyu hatton beat in 05

 

For all the talk of Hatton being the number one LWW in the world, there is obviously a good argument for him not even being the number one LWW in Britain. The only reason there is a credible debate possible, is solely down to Hatton's reluctance to fight.

 

Nice one son, to tell the truth these ****** Witter fans have only just started watching boxing so we can't be too hard on them.

Hatton would tear Junior Shitter a new ******* in four rounds.

If Tszyu was supposed to be 'washed up' and 'on the slide', what does that make DeMarcus Corley! He lost to a 21 year old 13 fight rookie last month! :deal And Vivian Harris got KOed by Maussa, the same Carlos Maussa that Hatton sent to sleep.

Apart from those 'big fights' what else has Witter done? If wins against those bums make Witter the best in the 140lb division, god help us all.

 

Yes DGPorsche...

Witter has a better resume than Hatton.

In other news, pigs can fly.

 

Tszyu wasn't washed up but he was rusty. That said he was winning the fight until Hatton smacked him in the bollocks as hard as he could and took all the wind out of him, even after Hatton won all the rounds after that I still had Tszyu a point up when he retired. That notwithstanding it was a very good win and one I didn't expect but it must be said that Hatton was allowed to make it a much rougher fight than he should have been, I thought he fought very dirtily.
Castillo however is definately shot and even if he wasn't he's still a lightweight who can't take the lbs off anymore. He shouldn't have gotten the nod in the N'Goudjo fight to begin with. Also, like the Tszyu fight it was very badly officiated in Hatton's favour (imaginary lowblows anyone?).
Hatton's comp is better than Witter's there's no arguing it but that doesn't mean the fight shouldn't happen, it should, because it's the one people want to see and have done for years. Don't you think he would have made a more interesting opponent than Pederson or Rios among others? The fight was there to be made then but Hatton and Warren didn't want it. I personally feel Warren did a bit of a Don King on Witter, sidelining him to keep him out of Hatton's path, just look where Witter got after leaving him.
Unfortunately Hatton attracts fans who want to play fantasy matchmaker for him "ooh he shouldn't fight Witter because he can make more money fighting so and so", who gives a **** how much he makes? Argue for good fights not what's good for the fighter.
People are moaning about the topic coming up repeatedly but surely the reason for this is that the fight is in demand.
The worst excuse I've heard is that people don't know who Witter is well I've got news for you; 90% of people in this country had never heard of Mayweather either before he and Hatton's press tour. I've met loads of people who tell me they think Hatton's brilliant, the best boxer in the world and are "huge fans" who've never even seen him fight and can't name a single other active fighter.

 

Doesnt that speak volumes about his ring generalship? By the same token this mystical Hatton work rate these days is just that mystical. When have we seen Hatton fight as rabidly as he used to when he was beating up WBU level opponents. Witter is certainly miles from that class. It does appear that he seem to lag later in the fight as he has done in the past.

There are many intangibles here but the reality is Witter is a hurtful spiteful puncher and arguably THE biggest puncher with the worst style for Hatton to deal with at 150. Its a genuine 50/50 bout. Naturally as a Witter fan im leaning more towards Junior. BUT if Ricky can find the form of yesterday certainly he has a chance to end the socalled Witter "myth".
