    It was you who mentioned Witter/Hatton. I wanted to see that fight for a long time too.

    Murray will have to go some way before Khan vs Murray becomes like Witter vs Hatton.

    The risk/reward balance is not worth it for both fighters, better the fight not take place.

    Witter forged a nice little career for himself, who knows what would have happened if he had met Hatton and lost.

    Its a non option, because no one in their right mind with a borderline World class fighter takes a fight against someone ranked on his level, on a 4 option deal, its a non option for any promoter.

    That could take 2.5 years to fight back and also we all know Khan would have the judges well paid for any rematch should he lose the first one.

    Now you're just being belligerent; good to see you've stopped the trolling though.

    I understand the logic, but do you not think this is what alienates fans?

    hennessy is a lot of things, but not a liar.

    hennessy has worked with maloney for froch v magee, tyson vs mcdermott.

    hennessy has worked with matchroom and the scottish fella for McAllitster.

    The only fight they have worked together on was Clev vs Macintosh and only because hennessy won the mandated purse bid and warren never even attended and he allowed that fight cos he knew clev would win easily.

    they offered a froch v calzaghe fight the day after it emerged froch's cruciate was knackered an he was awaiting an op.

    even then, they offered crap money and options should froch win.
