    "Witter has had a great career. But the only way he's going to make any considerable money is by fighting me. I've enjoyed seeing him squirm, fighting nobodies and getting no money."

    Sounds like Hatton is angry.

    I think Rick can do it. Witter underestimates him.

    Neither of their careers are complete until they face off. I hope it happens.

    Witter will beat Hatton the same way Mayweather did.

    I agree this will be a great bounce back fight for Ricky, but also an obligated one for him if he goes back to 140. Hatton cant claim undisputed by fighting the Juan Urango's in this division again, it has to be Witter, Maliggnaggi is acceptable but still Witter is a must.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think he will cause Rick won't use the same strategy again. He'll have learned from his mistakes and rectified them.

    Good for Hatton, I actually want to see him bounce back. Don't think Witter can handle Hatton's rough house style.

    The guys almost single handily helped the public fall back in love with the game in the UK. It was dying and on its last legs. Bad for the game WTF.

    I see that the Witter/Judah fight was closer than made out.

    Witter couldn't afford to turn down anyone unlike Hatton and actually earned his titles.

    You dont really follow boxing I take it?;)

    Harris,N'dou,Kotelnik(disputed) and Corely. Ran like a thief against Zab but was really a novice with a week and a half preperation against the then biggest prospect (or one of) in boxing.
    Pick 'em fight against Hatton in which I'd favour Witter at this stage of their careers.
