OK its 100% Hatton is ducking Witter

Well thats the final straw then, lets lynch the ****er!!!

 

They'll be even more lynching when him and witter finally get it on and he knocks the gobby yorkshire shite out.:good

 

Dunky, do you not agree though that it is the same as when Margarito was calling out Mayweather and Mayweather didnt want to know, then Hatton makes a comment about Mayweather after he beat Castillo and then all of a sudden he wants to fight Hatton because he was dissing him. Its all about selling fights and in my view 99.9% of fans if Witter and Hatton ever took place would not have a clue who Witter is.

The fight does have to happen though, and ive said it before and i will say it again i thionk it would be a prettyeasy fight for Hatton. Just my view:good

 

Its hardly the same comparison. Margarito was vastly overrated and Floyd is the best boxer on the planet. Hatton meanwhile is just a good fighter but not an elite one who has had so much smoke and hot air blown up his arse that he actually thinks his up there with the best guys at 47. Meanwhile he wont fight at 47 because that weight is apparently too high for him, he wont fight Witter because he called him names, and his now setting up a home coming for his fans because that according to him is what we want!?!??:roll:

Wether or not Witter can sell seats or is known is completely irrelavent. His worked his way into the rightful number 2 in the division and deserves his shot. ON merit alone Hatton MUST give it to him. Kostya did and so did PBF.

 

Zoo and PBF gave Hatton the shot because he's a bloody good payday (Zoos best) and both fighters expected to win handily. Don't make out either fighter did Hatton any favours in agreeing to fight him.

 

Well Hatton was the IBF number 1 contender, and that was the only alphabet title Tszyu held at the time, he did have to take the fight, but your right Ricky was his biggest payday out there!

 

Its your view & you are entitled to it KCD!
Its actually a fair point you make, I wasnt trying to slaughter hatton if he takes Malignaggi instead of Witter, I was kinda just thinking out loud with my post.
I dont agree with all the "witter doesnt deserve a fight cos hes not got a huge fanbase" Tell me what british boxer does apart from Hatton! Hatton is a phenomenon when it comes to boxing on these shores, he commands a fanbase that no other fighter can compete with. If anyone uses the argument that fighters dont deserve a Hatton fight if they dont have a fanbase isnt right.
If that was the criteria, then theres no-one out there deserves a fight with Ricky! Simply because Hatton is the crowd puller.
Look at Benn v Eubank 1, every man & his dog were Benn fans & wanted him to win, Eubank had a flashy record & a big mouth, but no fanbase at the time.
The fight happened though, & the rest as they say is history. Both are still fondly remembered to this day.

The big domestic rivalries are what makes boxing what it is, & its time Hatton dropped the hate & gave Witter his shot.

Thing is though, I can understand why so many Hatton fans dont want the fight as they feel so close to Ricky they will agree with whatever he lays down.
& thats not a sly dig, cos I have to hand it to Hatton, hes so good to his fans I can see why hes adored by so many now. If I was a Hatton fan, I too would be saying "stuff Witter" as they genuinely feel a close bond with Ricky I believe.

 

Diont know if this has been posted elsewhere but Hatton is in an interview on teletext saying he will fight Witter when HE wants to not when Witter wants to, and then he is saying Witter needs to improve his standing with the Americans before Hbo OR Whomever it is will touch the fight.

I can see where he is coming from, but the fight should happen and i am neither a Hatton or Witter fan. I think its just mad that people are saying how **** Hatton is and saying a fighter who i think is one of the most overated in boxing today will destroy him and Hatton is running scared.

and if Margarito is overated then you could say the same for Witter, Margarito has faced and beaten more quality fighters than Junior so far, and although alot of people hate him his reputation world wide is much better.

 

I have been a fan of hatton but to say a World Champion (WBC at that) has no business sharing the ring with him, yet four people nobody has heard of have is just ****ing ridiculous.

 

:yep nicely put

 

biscuit ersed quality mate

just like tommy fae trainspotting when Beggars was playing like Paul Newman doon the Volley lol

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

If he wants an easy fight after the PBF bout thats fair enough but I think most fans are pissed at the fact he is saying he will never fight Witter. If hatton released a press statement saying he would take on Junior after his homecoming bout then I doubt anyone would have a problem.

 

Doubt it. PBF could have given ODH a rematch and made more money than he did in the Hatton fight.

So yes PBF did Hatton a favour (and gave him a big payday) by fighting him.

 

I can maybe understand Hatton not taking the Witter fight straight away after the PBF Loss.

But if he doesn't fight him within the next 2 fights he is ducking him plain and simple.

I'm a big fan but my respect for him will go down a hell of a lot if it never comes off. I'm not taking in this "I'm not giving someone a payday who slags me off bull****".

 

I bet if PBF had agreed to a rematch Hatton would have signed straight away without a fight for his fans in Manchester.
