    So because I disagree with you and some old tubthumpers I've 'only just started watching boxing'.

    You guys are a joke.

    Kostya Tszyu may have been 35 when he fought Hatton but he was far from shot.

    In fact he gave Hatton a cracking scrap, the timing of his counterpunching was impeccable - more than Witter and his list of lame ass tomato can opponents could ever deliver.

    Scurlaruntings, I don't really care what you say, you could have been watching boxing since Sugar Ray Robinson and i wouldn't give a **** because you've trash talked Hatton and belittled his achievements for about 2 or 3 years now. You're clearly biased against the guy. If he'd have beaten PBF you'd have said he was 'handpicked' to suit Hatton's style, or it was his fragile hands, or Mayweather was 'past it' like your other lame ass excuses.

    Against Castillo, Hatton landed a perfect punch. Would a Castillo of 5 years prior carried on fighting with two broken ribs? LMAO!

    You lot are a joke.

    You constantly belittle Hatton's win against Collazo, a guy much bigger than him...who went the full 12 rounds with Shane Mosley. You focus your efforts on hyping up Witter who only just beat the likes of Lovemore N'Dou on points (114-112), whereas Paul Malignaggi whupped him (120-106). Witter's biggest wins were against the US whuppin boys like Vivian Harris (who was sparked out by Maussa and Oliveira [...who were both in turn KOd by Hatton]), and DeMarcus Corley (who's just been schooled by a 21 year old, 13 fight professional, 'US Amir Khan' style lad by 118-109).

    If you're going to start trying to tear Hatton's record apart, Witter's is about as watertight as the Titanic when it sank. All the 'names' like Harris and Corley, who fought in Vegas and essentially got beaten by the big boys...have gone on to lose fights to seriously shite opponents. All of Witter's big conquests have lost to fighters Hatton wiped the floor with, fighters not even in the top 5 of his resume.

    When Junior Witter fights (and beats) legitimate title holders like Tszyu, Castillo, Vince Phillips, Carlos Maussa and Luis Collazo I'll give him some credit to trash talk Hatton the way he does. Or if he ever gets the chance to last 10 rounds with the greatest boxer of our generation, who some smug twat on this thread labelled an 'overblown featherweight'...only the same 'overblown featherweight' who has about 12 different world belts at about 7 different weight categories, and the same 'overblown featherweight' who beat Oscar De La Hoya at Light-Middleweight. Witter is not fit to grace the ring with Hatton - it's as simple as that. Witter might want to try fighting Malignaggi or Castillo himself first, and that would soon sort the men from the boys...as opposed to his own big mouth. Infact, Witter v Amir Khan would last longer than a Witter v Hatton fight. You boys should shut up whinging and think before you post. The second Witter gets his wish (and payday) to fight Hatton, his boxing career is over.

    I know what you mean about the light middles. When asked Warren or Hearn would say "these fights will happen but they will be world title fights". Predictably none of them won a world title. We did get a fight between Alexander and Takaloo a few years later but it was too little too late (even if it was knock out of the year)

    Exactly by the time it happened it was far too late and of no significance. Either way the "World title" action was of the IBO WBU WBF variety. The whole auspice was a sham. Simply let them fight. Such a dam shame.:-(

    Physically Kostya was shot. He was fighting once a year. Great result for Hatton yes but hardly a vintage performance as the fight was a foulfest. Couple this with the fact physically Kostya was repeatdely recovering from injuries we have nothing more than a classic right time right place fight.Nothing more or less.


    Castilo was shot end of story. His best days were at 35 end of story. Talk this fight up as much as you want the reality is his a shot fighter. Again right place right time. If you want to lap that up and create it into more than it was thats your perogative as a Hatton jock.

    A guy much bigger than him? Collazo doesnt weigh as much as Hatton in between fights. You lamely try to make a case that Collazo was much bigger when the gap was 7 measly lbs and Haton weighed more on fight night. Your not saying the same thing of Castillo. Considering his best opponents were at 35 what was his case for fighting Hatton at the higher weight and at 140?

    Im not interested in a ******ed debate with you on the virtues of Witters credentials for a bout with Ricky. Wether you want to accept it or not Witter IS Hattons rightful number 2 and has earned his shot. Therefore Hatton MUST make the fight. To try and defend the stream of cans his fought is ludicrous. You can put as much spin on it as you want but i assure you when history is mentioning and remembering the best welters in the world Hatton will not be in that list for his scraps with all the WBU road sweepers and belt holders he fought.

    Malignaggi is the number 2, surely you can see that.

    malignaggi is neither no 2 or a bigger fight than witter.......lets bury that myth now. Malignaggi looked like utter shite in his last fight, he is feather fisted

    Exactly. The Witter fight is bigger. Hatton says he hates Witter. That makes the fight even bigger. The build up would be quality.

    If Witter is boring what the hell is Malignaggi?

    He had the balls to fight Cotto for one, and he beat N'Dou a lot more convincingly than Witter did.

    He hasn't taunted Hatton for 6 years, and Hatton woudl rather give him the payday than Witter - simple.

    of course Hatton would fight malignaggi, he knows there is no chance he is getting ko'd....i think the witter fighht is 50-50 but no excuses now...make the fight Ricky.

    Seriously your a clown. Paulie beat N`Dou more convincgly than Witter? From that statement its abundantly clear you havent seen the fight and nor know what your talking about. As for being taunted for the last 6 years puhlease. Whats Ricky a fighter or a *****? As for the pay day did you not read my post? Witter said winner takes all, he also proposed that Hatton get the lions share of the purse if they fight for the WBC. Your excuses just like Hatton are equally as pitiful and pathetic. Find a new sport to watch seriously.

    No they don't, a small section of chimp brained idiots on this forum doesn't constitute 'most people'.
