Hatton is a professional, he can't touch Witter after the way he looked against Bradley. Nobody would give Ricky any credit for beating Junior at this point, and I doubt Ricky would either. Junior Witter; now there is a fighter who has shown actual signs of being "shot."
Witter ain't shot, he's performed the way he did against Bradley all the way through his career. He's never been hit enough to be shot. Actually, the Bradley fight was a big step up from what he produced against Lynes or Kotelnik.
The obvious fights are JMM and Pacquiao like you said. If he choses to fight DLH we all know he is in it for the money. Personally I want him to fight Pac at 140 because I think it would be a great great fight and it will be great for boxing.
At the end of the day Hatton hasnt been fighting mandatorys instead he has been fighting the other champions, and unifying the division, its not his fault the division is weak, if he goes up to 147lbs then he is going to lose as he is too small, so whats he meant to do, he is looking for the big fights at present anyway.
The two posters above cobbler might want to go back to the start of the thread and read it all again out loud.
Hatton hasn't had a lot of career oportunity since the Tszyu fight, mainly because there are not many fighters in his division capable of giving him a run for his money. He just blew out the 'No.2' in his weight class. he's also fought the p4p no.1. Unfortunately there havent been that manny opportunities for him, but he will most likely have some big fights coming up.
I'm a big Kostya Tszyu fan & he wasn't shot IMO when he fought Hatton. I also American if that helps.........................
