Ricky Hatton Reveals Why He Had To Let Billy Graham Go

Every one of them top 10-15 except Vilches and Pederson. Don't forget, these guys were "way up" fights when Hatton was a prospect.As title defences you could criticise them but come on who takes the WBU seriously? It was simply a label for Warren to stick on the bouts while Hatton made his way up.

 

Hatton fights at 140, WTF has Oscar, Cotto or Mosely got to do with anything? They can't make 140.

 

Please stop saying 'those 3 aside'

It's the debatoing style of an utter moron

'Those 3' are the whole point you tit

 

I agree this fight should have happened after hatton had beaten thaxton, then we could have put it to rest once and for all. The only gripe I have with witter is that he should have shut his gob about hatton and just made a better career for himself because he had the talent.

 

I agree John, Witter was a good fight before Hatton had beaten Zoo. After Zoo who really cared outside of ESBs Fun Bunch?

 

Those 3 were the whole point when he was fighting Urango - or any the WBU brigade?

Oh yeah, I'm sure Mayweather and Castillo really thought "oh eck, he just beat that oversized Columbian druglord AND he was the long reigning WBU champion - he's earnt his shot allright" atsch

In a perverse way, you are entirely correct. Those 3 are the exact reason Hatton never fought Witter. The wheels would have come right off, and he'd have been back to square 1 without his padded unbeaten record.

 

What makes me laugh in the whole Witter debate is that nobody is even saying 'no, he absolutely shouldn't have fought him'

He didn't, but there's a lot of people he didn't fight

But amongst the ones he did fight are modern greats, so who gives a shiny **** about Junior Witter? Seriously? If he wasn't from Bradford would anyone care?

 

The Urango fight was the setup fight for Castillo

Castillo fought Ngoudjo on the same bill

 

Who ****ing cares?!

It could have been Witter, just as easily. If Hatton located the whereabouts of his balls.

You'll try telling me Urango was a worldwide star now. :yep

 

No I won't

I was pointing out the glaring inaccuracy in your previous post

You my friend are the one given to gross exagerration, not me

 

It because thats pretty much all they've got to beat Hatton up with. He's lineal and undefeated at 140 and his only loss is to the P4P number 1 when moving up in weight. Witter is pretty much the only ammunition they have got.

 

You are given to being blind to very simple lines of logic, possibly due to the genitals of one or more Hatton's disturbing your view

Can you seriously sit there, and type with a straight face that there was never a time Hatton could have fought Witter?

There were countless times, if you want to look at the WBU days or Urango. I can forgive him for even Maussa since there was a paper belt up for grabs, I'm feeling generous.

Could have. Should have. Ricky has no balls.

 

Not good enough - why bother making a fight to set up another one?

Witter would have been a better name than any of his opponents with the exception of the three big names and would be on a par with about three more - but why deny a British fighter a pay day and give it to some Colombian or Mexican?

OK - Hatton isn't the only fighter to duck someone, but don't bother trying to convince people that you never did it.

In the grand scheme of things, it won't really hurt him - but it could have helped.
