Junior Witter's Next Opponent?

Who cares??? It was a nice domestic fight that never came off. Get over it.

 

The people who talk about it care. I think that should be obvious.

It was more than a nice domestic fight. It's better than 90% of Hatton's resume.

 

Nope, you, Betty and Scurla etc. pretend "care about it" and thats only because you don't like Hatton.

 

And I suspect this is one of the main reasons why. Well, it is in my case, I can't speak for them. I don't understand why he ducked a guy on his doorstep, no other British fighter did it.

Why did he do it Gaz?

 

Because he could??

 

Witter and hatton should have happened yes, but witter should have gone after the fights he really wanted. Witter slowed is career down by bog awful fights. Is best fight was against harris who got smashed up against a hatton victim in maussa. Witter did have the potential but he was to bothered about hatton instead of forging is own path. Look he totally dissmissed bradley and was more worried about hatton than is own defense.

 

The Bradley fight hardly even matters. There is no point in pretending like he was on the verge of a fight with Hatton, he wasn't at all. Why would Hatton suddenly fight him now after years when there have been more convenient times?

It should have been done long ago, and Hatton would have got more credit than he did for any of his bull**** wins outside of Tszyu and maybe Castillo.

 

Quite right basically. Witter is simply a convenient stick to beat Hatton with. If it wasn't him it'd be somebody else.

 

Why didn't Witter fight anyone instead of those sub-can grade fighters (his opposition around the 2001-05 period was a lot worse than Hatton's). He might even have been able to make a bit of a name for himself outside of piggy backing off of Hatton. Nonetheless, if Witter wanted the fight so badly surely all he had to do was put together a good offer and present it to Hatton. That would have really put the pressure on, no? But no, he'd rather just mouth off in the press, at least it gets him some newspaper coverage.

As for "fighting him like a real man" do me favour. For you or I, fighting a guy would be a big deal, something we would only ever do if we really hated them (or after about a dozen pints, take your pick). For these guys, it's simply business, a job. Giving a fight to Witter would be the equivalent of throwing a business opportunity the way of a guy he dislikes.

It may have been a decent fight if it happened and I wouldn't have minded seeing it, but it didn't any its really no big deal. All we ever hear is that it would have been a DOMESTIC match up. Domestic means nothing once you get to the world stage. If Witter was from Sheffield, Australia rather than Sheffield, Yorkshire nobody would mention him in the same sentence and I think a coincidence of birth is a rather weak reason for a fight being branded a "must see". However, as per my previous post, the only people who are pretending to get so worked up about this fight are those with a preconceived anti-Hatton agenda to push.

 

If it did happen and hatton won they would be their oh witter wasn't that good. Just something to put hatton down or it should have happened five years ago.

 

Hatton was fighting sub-grade fighters too. Are you actually boasting that some of Hatton's tin cans were better? Who ****ing cares, cans are cans, make the god damn match between the two best british 140lb fighters at this point.

Not giving a business opportunity? Who are you, Ray Hatton? It's nothing to do with a business opporunity, again, lets see you man up and fight a more deserving a relevent candidate than the bums dragged up by the WBU. He hurt his feelings at an event. Jesus Wept. The old greats would be turning in their grave at this ***** ****. The ironic thing about this is how Hatton got Mayweather to fight him. Do you remember that?

The thing that makes me laugh is how these Hatton fans will play down the fight as if Hatton had always been operating at the highest level and has a resume like Sugar Ray Robinson. Nobody will remember him ducking Witter because he has such an outstanding resume. Bull****, outside of 4 fights he was fighting C levels.

 

Wait a minute no hatton fan his saying he his better than SRR, even greats like marvin hagler, SRL, Hearns, Duran, PBF, Ali don't have comparable records. I know some of them defence of a WBu were a joke but, that was down to warren not hatton. Warren was the Promoter!

Whoever it was, he should have fought him. He's had opportunities since then too, but he'd fight crap like Urango hiding behind the belts as an excuse. Yet when Witter won the WBC belt he still came up with the same weak ass excuses he always did.

 

The people who back Witter are a joke.|

Before the Bradley fight 'WITTER WILL BEAT HATTON, I'M CONVINCED OF IT'

After the fight it became 'WITTER PROBABLY WOULDN'T BEAT HATTON, BUT HATTON SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT HIM ANYWAY'

Muppets.
