reality check...

I don't dispute Witter-Hatton needs to happen but Lascano is a justifiable fight and if Hatton then follows it up with Pauli M and Mayweather 2 then that'll be OK with me. Its if Hatton has another 'waiting' fight after Pauli when he could have been taking on Witter that I'll have the problem.

 

Lazcano is disappointing but I agree it can be justified. Hatton has taken on some decent competition and I credit him for that.

I would prefer Witter at the end of the year but I would take no issue with the order you put forth mate. Just as long as they fight something that Hatton has shown he no intention of doing! Which ain't good considering he will most likely be retiring soon.

 

I reckon he's got 4-5 fights in him max. Lazcano, Pauli, Mayweather2....theres room for a Witter fight in there hopefully esp. now Diaz got beat. Touch wood!!

 

Stuey good post and could not agree more Witter is boring as **** and could not sell out his own front room. I think a Witter fight will happen but maybe Hattons last fight.
I dont have a problem with Hattons next 2 fights everybody has the right to an easyer fight every now and again. The haters have been moaning Hatton needs to clean house and you would think fighting Paulie M is as good as place as any to start. It also gives the uk fans a chance watch Paulie in the flesh which again can not be bad
You can not really blame him taking a rematch against Mayweather its only natural for a fighter to want a 2nd chance if there beaten.Never mind the 20-30 mill Hatton would make for a wembley fight.

imo Hatton ****ing destorys Witter

 

I know the Hatton/Witter debate has been done to death on here and in the process I have been shocked at the lengths some have been prepared to go to discredit Hatton.

However, the reality is Hatton is returning to the light welterweight division with no major title - Witter has the WBC crown so that alone should be incentive enough for him to make this fight happen.

Hatton is no longer undefeated and Witter raised his game with his KO of Harris yet seems no closer to securing a fight with him??

We all know their rivalry goes back some way and there is genuine ill feeling between the two - until this fight is made it will be seen as unfinished business by many.

 

Only because he got the FW silver spoon treatment while Witter got left out.

Floyd's good but hardly one of the hardly one of the greatest of all time, Hatton was always open to slick counter punchers.

What did Hatton do to deserve his way to the top? Witter worked hard winning the British, Commonwealth and Euro titles and became WBC mandatry otherwise he would of got ducked.

You were duped Into Hatton's hype like many were Stuey.

It was about time Hatton, his yesman and the duped fans were given a reality check but Floyd didn't convince you all Ricky ain't as good as hyped It seems.

 

yes, junior really brings nothing to the table, he has a paper title, is not very exciting, hasn't exactly got a 'who's who of boxing' resume and can't draw to save his life. he isn't worthy of setting foot in the ring with the mighty, destructive, unstoppable force that is ricky hatton.

juan urango on the other hand........

 

he has to fight witter, simple as that

 

I think he will struggle to make 5 more fights - especially at 140...I'd be surprised to see him appear 3 more times .

 

I think IF he keeps winning he's got Lazcano and 3 others left in him...

 

I can appreciate both Hatton and Witter.

Not that you need to be a fan of either to recognise this would be a good domestic match up. Its a fight of contrasts with a grudge element and an unpredictable outcome. Lets hope it gets made. :good

 

Excite the fans by getting brain damage walking onto counter shots.:tired

Plus hit and holding Urango and trying It against Floyd was hardly exicting fouling constantly shows your not as good In the ability department either.:yep

Boxing within the rules(unlike Ricky) and timed counter punching with deadly accuracy Is more exciting.

Having the Ring Sting belt doesn't say your the best, Witter's clearly the best light welterweight and now he's motivated, plodders like Hatton and Kotelnik would get dropped.:deal

If Hatton was that good he would have an answer for counter punchers and southpaws.

You like many went to Vegas without a ticket to the fight = getting duped.

Hatton said Witter needed a world title even before Ricky was world class himself with Is bold to say and now Witter has a world title. Had Witter In his contract and bottled It.

And when someone disrespects you, you shut them up In the ring generally. Floyd shut Hatton up.:yep

 

Duped? the atmosphere for the fight and the whole trip was ****ing amazing, I can always say I was at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for a massive world title fight. Go sometime mate it's highly recommended.
