    'Real men, real warriors' lol

    Meanwhile, back in the 'real' world Witter got a strap in the most godawful title fight I've ever seen, defended a couple of times against nobody in particular, and then lost to an unknown.

    Give your head a wobble mate, you are seriously wrong on this one.

    'Anybody outside of Tszyu, Castillo or Mayweather' - oh dear. Yeah, let's discount his three biggest fights then like they never happened. That'll make for sensible debate won't it?

    Witter was just a tool for you haters to have a pop at Hatton with. The fight didn't happen and now Witters lost. Its a real shame but don't try to make out it affects Hatton legacy outside of your happy little band of psychotic Hatton haters.

    Thanks for that stunning moment of lack of clarity.

    To say you couldn't care less about him you sure seem to spend a lot of time discussing him. If I couldn't care less about a fighter, I simply don't bother posting on their threads.

    When witter lost to bradley what was the reaction like on the british board a bet it wasn't half as derogatory as hatton losing to floyd.

    You are re-writing history.:patsch Witter was not Hattons number 1 contender for 10 years. Differing opinions are one thing but don't just make stuff up to justify your hatred.

    Remember 140 from about 5 years ago? The Ring ran an article on it as boxings deepest division at the time. Guess where Ricky was.. No where to be seen in the top 10. Since then everyone who mattered moved onto bigger and better things. Meanwhile Hatton still fighting the best available contenders isnt he after being beaten back to 140.

    Of course he wasnt. They were number 1 and 2 in Britain. Witter followed him all the way up to a title belt and Wicky still wouldnt fight him. Call it what you like.

    Well to say "nobody cared" about these fights they didn't half have some good viewing figures!!! Bottom line when people look back on Hatton's career, they will remember the Tszyu, Castillo and Mayweather bouts as fights and events. Witter will go down as a footnote in history who wasted most of his best days chasing a get rich quick scheme whilst taking on the Fred Kinuthias and Lucky Sambos of this world.

    After watching witter fight against bradley would he have beaten hatton on that performance.

    Are you his PR agent? So you bought into the bull**** he fed you about all his other opponents - those 3 aside?

    The ones that sounded like the embarrasing radio adverts we have here trying to hype a football match between 2 local teams about the equivelent of Accrington Stanley, battling it out on a pitch more resembling an ice rink

    When you criticise what Witter did, you are only serving to weaken your own point. Witter by hook or by crook became the #1 contender in the world, something far above what any of his opponents could claim other than the 3 I mentioned where Hatton had a legimate excuse to not make the fight. I wasn't suggesting we ignore them.

    Unfortunately your head is so far up Hatton's ass you are blocking regular bowel movements. Get your head out a second and let some oxygen to the brain, we might get some sense outta you yet.

    Urango, Oliveria, Stewart, Vilches, Pedersen, Tackie. Think about it.

    Yes. Everybody raise there hands who wants to see Paulie vs Hatton!! What a feable and pathetic argument. Thats the last bout that any sane fan cared about. Witter Hatton would have been nice prior to his loss. Or Hatton vs DLH or Cotto SSM. No one gives a crap about Paulie. Dont try and sell this bout as something that all fans are interested in when your same argument as to when Witter was Hattons number 1 contender was derisive.

    Yep, Zoo got stopped by Hatton, Judah became a gatekeeper at 147, Cotto got outmanned by Margo, Mitchell and Corely went on extended losing runs....
