NOTW: Hatton to continue, comeback in Manchester possibly against Steve Forbes

140 is Pacquiao's weight now

 

Witter - Its hard to know what to expect from Witter; was the Bradley fight an aberation or is he also on the downslide?

Bradley - Again, unpredictable for me. I feel that Bradley would have to fight him at range, which goes against Tim's instincts and lack of reach. I'm not too sure how to read this one.

Khan - Speed and reach for Amir, but Khan hates fighting on the inside and Hatton loves it there. Could come down to how compassionate the ref is in this area. Khan done a decent job with a one-eyed Barrera, but how does he do with a powerful LWW who has the ref on his side.

I agree that all these fights "could" be tight, but I also think that Hatton starts out a healthy favourite with the bookies in all three, and the bookies are rarely wrong.

 

Khan would be scraped off the canvas if he fights Hatton.

Nobody ever beat Hatton without taking a punch. That even includes Pacquiao that took a big right hand. And make no mistake, Pac punches a lot harder so don't expect Khan to only be in danger a round or two.

Once Hatton closes him down, which he would because his footwork is one of his better attributes, Khan is toast. Remember what Gomez did to him inside.

 

I disagree, a couple of years ago Hatton would have mullered Khan but now I reckon Khan could keep out of reach and use his speed to get to Hatton. I would have laughed at the thought of a Khan v Hatton fight last year but now I think Khan would win.

Hatton is an example of growing old overnight but thats should not be surprising given the way he has failed to look after himself.

You only need to look at the extended careers of Juan Manuel Marquez, Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe to see what a difference it makes to the career of a boxer to live like an athlete.

 

forbes is a boring pick.

cagey solid fighter.

rather see him against someone like nate campbell or ricardo torres. :roll:

 

:good

 

He's at the age now where he cant get away with his lifestyle anymore......

Fans wanting him to return should really sit and think to themselves if fighting on is a good option. I know people dont want him going out like he did but thats boxing.

He's been brilliant for British boxing,had a very,VERY impressive career despite what his haters may say but its over.

 

End of thread.

He could fight Witter but once again he ducks him.

 

****ing NumbNutz more like.
Witter has NEVER done enough to warrant a shot at Hatton. When have you seen Witter top a Las Vegas card??
Witters career has mostly been fought in Leisure Centres ffs atsch

Hatton should just retire so losers like this guy can move on.
Also he is shot

 

Stop living in the Hatton hype past 9ball.

Junior Witter is the only fight that makes sense anymore. I said it here a few weeks back, & I stand by my opinion.

Its a grudge match, & a stadium sellout. Only people that dont want to see this fight are Hatton diehards, cos they fear Witter getting the last laugh on Hatton, & I can understand that.
I felt the same way when Gomez fought Burns, I thought "man, if Gomez beats Burns, I will NEVER hear the end of it!"
Hattons fans feel the same way about Witter, after the shameful treatment Hatton doled out to Witter through the yrears, including turning up to one of Witters fights & dancing in the ring taunting Witter...

Yup, the younger fans dont remember the bad side of Ricky Hatton that lways surfaced when Witter was fighting.
So its time these two old rivals gave the fans what they want, **** Forbes. If Hatton wants to be remembered as a true warrior & not a hypejob? He has to fight his nemesis Junior Witter.

Its the only fight that makes sense. Even Hattons diehard fans know deep down in their souls that he has to face Witter, or Hatton will only remembered as a hyped belt holder who got a lucky win over a shot Kostya Tszyu.

 

Bad side??I thought that was funny when Hatton was shimmying around the ring doing his Junior impression.

They were both as bad as each other...some of the Witter interviews were a disgrace back then-depends on who you support tho I suppose.

 

LOL!! I'd forgot about that Uzi!!! What fight was that in??

Quality!!!

 

"After your brave effort against Zab Judah?"




I;m sorry I''ve nothing against Witter but I couldn't resist!!

Sorry icemax!!!

 

For Hatton to mock Witter though & never face him in the ring? Thers no excuse for it.

Ken Buchanan & Jim Watt fought each other

Nigel Benn & Chris Eubank fought each other

Ricky Hatton & Junior Witter didnt fight each other.

Are you happy about that? be honest.
