    The fight isn't happening anytime soon, I'm starting to wish he would just get on with his own career instead. He keeps on crowbaring Hatton into every conversation, why doesnt he call out one of the other big names instead.

    Like when he called out Malginaggi, Torres and Mayweather jr?

    Funny how Hatton fans are so critical of Witter fighting Bradley. Yet, Hatton's next opponent lost clearly to a fighter destroyed by Witter in his previous bout. And even before losing to Harris, Lazcano was the recipient of a controversial, hometown decision against Manuel Garnica. The same Garnica, who was destroyed and put on his ass twice by Timothy Bradley last year. How easily they forget.

    To be honest It would be better if Witter was saying **** like "This guy ain't good enough to be in the same ring as me!", "I'm at a whole different level to anyone he's faced", OR "This is gonna be a massacre; he just can't deal with my power!"

    When fighter's come off with this kinda stuff it usually means its a pretty even fight, and that their trying to gain a psychological advantage over their opponent (a bit to do with hyping the fight as well).

    I get kinda worried when they start licking ass; usually means their trying to big their opponent up to make themselves look better whenever they knock the chump out in the first round.

    Of course there are exceptions, like whenever two classy guys have a lot of respect for eachother and there is no need to hype things up.

    I am a big Hatton fan, but feel he could have a better opponent than Lazcano for this fight.

    I think the 'excuse' was that he had agreed to fight Lazcano two years ago before the Mexican pulled out with a bad hand, forcing Hatton to fight Collazo to retain his HBO date.

    He is joke. All he does is call out Hatton. Hatton is his shortcut to fame. For some reasons he never calls out Judah. If he is serious about establishing himself, I expect him to be itching to avenge his loss to Judah.

    No network in the world would pay to show that fight. The first fight was a snorefest. Witter was green then but he is a far far better fighter now.

    No network would show Witter-Bradley either.

    And if Witter was green then, then Judah was green as well. They both had about the same # of fight and fought almost same level of opposition going into that fight.

    He called out Judah a few times, remember that fight was on 10days notice for Witter when he was green before he was a puncher, and Witter still won 4-5rounds

    Witters called out everyone from 140-147, its not his fault no one wants to fight him

    Judah was at his peak against Witter, never again would he fight for 12rounds with as much pace, hes known as someone who burns out after 4rounds now. That wasnt the case then

    Witter has improved leaps and bounds since that fight. Different fighters improve at different rates

    Anyone who thinks Witter doesnt deserve a shot at Hatton - he is the best oponent out there for him!

    As for Timothy Bradly, he is a top undeafeated contender, probably a sterner test than Hopkins the man Junior was scheduled to box.

    Witter needs to look good, a boring fight wont do him any favours.

    You kidding, right? Judah would never burn out in that fight even if it goes 50 rounds cause all they do is dance and showboat, that fight was a snooze fest, I do not have exact figures but I am sure Judah had more activity against PBF or Spinks than that one.
