OK its 100% Hatton is ducking Witter

Who was clamouring for a ODL- Myaweather rematch last year? :huh They are going to have trouble selling one this year and poeple memories arn't as fresh...

Outside of that Hatton was mayweathers best option

 

Of course...:huh His fans in Manchester wouldn't have minded one bit either.

 

WHy is he such a *****.
Why doesnt he just fight witter
Id rather watch that than hatton v Ricardo Torres, Herman Ngoudjo, Juan Lazcano or Kendall Holt.

 

A man who steps up in weight to fight the best pound for pound fighter of the day cant be acused of ducking anybody.

He has taken the hardest fight that is even theoreticaly available.

 

Exactly, and now he takes one 'easy' fight and he's a 'coward', 'ducker' etc....unbe****inglieveable.atsch

 

Witter needs to show Hatton lots of money, then the fight will happen. Hatton was not afraid to go into Mayweather's home town and fight him, with the referee and judges against him, so he should not be afraid of Witter.

 

I think you are correct and I think Team Hatton know this. They will therefore fight the person with the least risk and who is willing to take the smallest amount of money.

I have been to most of Ricky's big world title fights and a good few per Zoo. I refuse however to pay to watch him fight some bum. He says he is giving back to the fans, if this were true then he'd fight Witter. I also few that the ticket costs are going to be high again and we will be exploited like we were in December (where they charged whatever they liked for tickets because so many had already booked flights and we were stuffed).

The nut huggers out there are the ones to blame. As you've said they'd watch him do anything so he will do anything. People need to avoid the fight to bring Hatton back down to earth.

 

Hatton is the number 1 in the division, let's get that straight.

He's got a right to to treat Witter like a punk after his badmouthing over the years.

 

The thing that is pathetic is you.

If any other fighter had Hatton's resumé - wins against Tszyu & Castillo...moving up a weight and winning a world title, going 10 rounds with the best pound for pound fighter since Sugar Ray Leonard - they'd get a lot more respect than Hatton.

Honestly, you look at some of the opponents Hatton's both taken on and beaten and the idea he's ducking Witter is laughable. Hatton doesn't like him, doesn't need the money, doesn't want to make him a millionaire - simple.

There are other options available to him and he wants to take them over a rude ******* who had slagged him off for years.

 

Bad mouthing? Isnt that what Hatton did to PBF to get his fight?

This is a domestic scrap and a global one that has been brewing for over 7 years. There rivalry goes back to when they were both promoted by Frank Warren and British fans deserve this fight and all you can say Hatton has the right to treat him like a punk because he called him names? Find another sport to watch seriously.:roll:

 

You`ve only just started watching boxing havent you. It utterly baffles me the pathetic excuses that you Hatton zealots read on these boards and you all simply repeat the same tired ass lines you have read over and over again parrot fashion.

Hatton doesnt like him: PBF never liked Hatton. It became apparent that Hatton didnt like PBF either. Lo and behold now that £10M was at stake they STILL fought.And little Ricky was beat back to 140 where he shouold have stayed in the 1st place.

Hatton doesnt need the money: YOUR DAM RIGHT. And yet he insists that because Witter brings no high profile to the fight and no money he doesnt need to fight him? By his own admission that makes perfect sense right?:roll:

Hatton doesnt want to make him a millionaire: Prior to the Magee fight when Hatton was looking for an opponent Junior proposed a winner takes all bout. That sounds completely fair to me. Now recently as the champ of the WBC his willing to take 30% rather than his mandatory 70% of the purse to get Hatton in the ring with him. Hatton STILL baulked and refuses to fight him. That doesnt sound like the desire nor the intergrity of a "hollow" champion who`s only intersted in the cash and when it suits him.

The whole act is tiresome and boring now and you lemmings lap it up every dam time. Im pretty sure you wasnt watching boxing -when Hatton was making his record breaking defences of the WBU- and saying the same thing. You fair wether fans are utterly laughable and have zero credibility with any of your posts just like Ricky Hattons tenure as the socalled best man at 140.

 

Considering its 'tiresome and boring' you don't half bang on about it a lot Scura....

 

You know why because unlike most of the pubescent youngsters on this board i havent been watching boxing since yesterday. There was a time when our British light middles were stacked. We had great fights simply go to waste because promoters were protecting there fighters. The same thing ishappening here with this bout because of Hatton.As a fan of British boxing i want to see our fighters fight the best and do the best that they can do. When you see fighters wrapped in cotton wool and deny THE FANS what they want (and Hatton by the same token repeats his mantra that his only interested in his fans) then its my responsibility as a long time fan of boxing to point out the truth. Im not an armchair fan, a fair weather fan nor a casual fan. If i was i wouldnt give 2 hoots. But to see Witter denied what has certainly been coming to him for all these years is unjust and ethically wrong.

 

I've been a Hatton supporter since the start of his career. However, he is clearly avoiding Witter and dening British boxing fans of a really good fight.

Hatton and Witter are the best fighters within the lightwelterweight division, there is no question of that. Scula is right, its baffleing and pathetic that Hatton is making the ridiculous excuses for the fight not to happen, its complete bull****.

 

Its obvious what is happening. Hatton does not mind being found out against the big boys but if Witter exposes him then he will have no more big payday against the likes of ODH to look forward to. Might as well protect himself, talk ****, do the same jokes on every television chat show and go drinking with his mates.
