Ricardo Torres was a nobody at the time, whilst Witter would have been a backward step. If you have a newly won title and are the linear champ, the two biggest names in your division are tied up elsewhere, and the other beltholder is available and up for it, what do you do? It's a no-brainer :deal If he had fought a lightweight you would have accused him of beating up a smaller man - if he had moved up he would have been running scared of someone. I never said Lazcano was **** - I simply said he was chosen for a reason. There is a difference.
witter had been calling out ricky for years, this was rickys opportunity to give him a fight, instead he chose a bum with a title that means nothing.
The WBA title is meaningless? You have just proven the other guy's point - you really are clueless. If he had taken Witter, say and won - you would now be accusing him of hiding behind his title rather than chasing unification.
Undisputed, All your trying to do is discredit Hatton! The whole Malinaggi Cotto 2 speal was probally just a lead to get onto the Hatton bashing. Every thing you have said on this thread is plain ******ed!
no i'm not, if i wanted to bash hatton i would have created a thread about how malinaggi is going to give hatton a boxing lesson. this thread was about malinaggi vs cotto 2, but all the hatton fan boys wanted to make it about hatton, and how i could even think that malinaggi is going to beat him. hatton has done great with his limited abilities but when he comes up against someone with malinaggi's style he will always fail.
people didn't even know who mausa was, never mind what credibility the WBA has. ricky promised witter a fight, this was his oppurtunity to give it to him, instead of fighting a nobody with a nothing title. and the WBA title is meaningless.
If Hatton wins you can bet that I will be finding this thread and highlighting this comment for sure. By the way, I don't see any Hatton fan boys on here.
Well Malinaggi wll not give you the oppurtunity to highlight my posts, and now don't try to deny that you and all the rest on this thread are not hatton fan boys.
Well isn't it kind of obvious that I'm not a Hatton fan boy seeing as though I've not said one single thing to defend him? or the fact that I said I think Malignaggi might win? I like Hatton, I want British fighters to do well, but I'm not a fanboy.
Cottos was weak , weight drained and lees experienced right now Mallignaggi have been getting worse since that fight have improivd ****, and is getting hit a lot more, Cotto this time wil finish the job more easier.
well he said that after he beats hatton he is going after cotto, and cotto aint going to go down for him so he is going to have to go up.
