    I think its going to be similar to what happened to Howard Eastman after his title fights (although he never won a title). A few more fights for money but no major title fights also maybe facing rising stars looking for a name to add to their record.

    Bradley is jack **** and will not amount to much.

    I didn't realise till recently he was with Golden boy. As yet they still haven't got together a profile description of him.

    I think Witter is certainly capable of beating Bradley, and any other light welter other than Hatton.

    Ngoudjo would be a good fight - he is the rightful IBF champion, and if Witter managed to beat him legitimately it would put him right back into contention.

    Winning the European title would give him a top ranking with the WBC, he seems to be nowhere with the other orgs and is a stylistic nightmare for many at 140.

    He is a great enigma - less laziness and a better attitude generally would have seen him go much further.

    Not really - anybody with a good chin and a willingness to keep going forward would beat Witter. Technically adept fighters with a decent work rate too.

    Good chin and workrate are important - but so is class.

    Not that many of the 140lb'ers have that.

    I think his boasts about moving up to welterweight will certainly stop once he sees the fight from last night, what a ****ing war that was.

    guaranteed, margarito is an animal, cotto was brilliant in the first half, but i could always see it coming, cintron couldnt wobble margarito in 2 fights, besides hagler, marg is the only guy ive seen who plows forward at full speed looking to wipe the guy out and shows no fear of what the other guy is going to do to him, throughout last nights fight i was reminded of round 3 in "the war" when hagler had hearns hurt and ran accross the ring to twat tommy n finish him, margarito was the same

    He could beat Bradley he fought smarter. He could beat any of these guys, they are not very good. Hatton is never going to fight him, so that will probably take the edge off his desire. If Hatton wouldn't fight him when he was ranked 2 in the world, he ain't going to after a loss, even if he rebuilds.

    Might as well have one last fight and go out on a high.

    Bradley seemed to be the first fight where he didn't get away with being lazy, If he shown up like he did for Harris, he would of won.

    I'm sorry, but the beers have clearly been taking effect. His stamina is gone - I know it may be difficult to take.

    His stamina isnt gone. The quality of his opposition has gone up, his life style is catching him up, and his hunger is waning. Hatton is comfortable. He doesnt need boxing anymore. He achieved far more than he ever expected from the sport and FW started him in very good sted.
