Thank god it's OVER!

I know all about the Hatton - Witter war of words,both fighters and fans.I ve followed boxing for over 25 years.
I Just noticed the clever terminology you employed;The Ricky side were 'Hatton nuthuggers',whereas you and Smazz had been "championing" Witter.
Now which sounds better? which fan comes out in a better light using terms like that?Its not Hattons is it?
Why not 'good judges' rather than Hatton nutthuggers?Which is a pejorative term.
Subtle,but i spotted it,trivial as it is.

 

This is correct, any pro-Hatton post gets jumped on with 'not a real boxing fan' and 'fanboy/nuthugger' and all that crap. It's a schoolyard debating style.

Pretty pathetic all in all.

 

The fact that Lynes and Kotelnik went onto achieve good things after the losses show how good they are and how they are a good name for Witter's record.

Hatton hasn't fought anyone In the rings top 10 or any top Light Welterweights since Tszyu. He hasn't cleaned out the division even.

Judah was a two time Light Welter titlist and an undisputed Welter champ and Witter had a closhish fight with him on 9 days notice.

 

Castillo was ranked number 2 in The Rings rankings at LWW.

I'm sure I heard something about Hatton beating him.

 

Ajose Is nothing like Zab Judah and Witter had a closhish fight with him on 9 days notice.

Ajose can't even stop domestic class fighters like Wright or journeymen like Reid, he won't stop a world class Witter. He only stopped Ali because he was weight drained.

Pressure using the jab Is the way to beat Ajose.

8 years and nothing to say he's above commonwealth level yet.

 

Castillo Isn't proven at LWW and was very weight drained and shot. He should never of been top 2. NGoujo should of got the win, but they didn't want the Hatton fight to not happen with Castillo.

 

You said Hatton hadn't beaten anyone in the rings top 10 rankings since Tszyu, I proved he had, that is all.

Anyway, Hatton's fighting the number 7 and number 2 in his next couple of fights.

 

Lazcano hasn't fought for 14 months, Urango wasn't In the top 10 when Hatton won as well. Golden boy owning the ring has currupted their rankings so for the benifit of their own fighters. He wasn't there until Hatton chose him as a comeback fight.

He should of fought the no 1 though but Is lucky he lost.

 

You ask Ricky to fight some top 10 fighters.....he beats Castillo, then sets up fights with Lazcano and Malignaggi and you still complain.

Malignaggi is the number 1, so you get your wish yet again.

 

Kotelnik yes, he's a decent fighter.

But what the hell has Lynes achieved? Being a European champ isn't what it used to be, y'know?

 

Tuffnutz,

Thats a pretty fair post. My opinion is that Witter-Hatton should have happened when Hatton was WBU champion and fighting Smith, Vilches etc. Given that it didn't happen then I'm not at all gutted that it didn't come off post Zoo, Hattons level of competition has been consistantly high since then. I found it strange that people seemed to jump on the fact that Hatton was fighting Lascano after Maywether and not Witter....:huh

 

Lazcano has been at No.7 in the Ring rankings for some time - he hasn't just been there since January.

 

Complete and utter bullshine mate, I have never once seen you give Witter credit for taking on Zab with very slim notice. Surely if you ' just like guys who go for the biggest fights they can get ' then Witter would have leapt up in your estimations when he did that ?

As has been said though Witter has well and truly fcked it all up now and he is really gonna struggle to get back in amongst them now with age and awkward style against him. I never want any British fighters to lose and I shall be hoping Ricky gives Lazcano a good hiding when they meet, but as has also been said Ricky will have spat his curry out with laughter on sat night watching that. He now doesn't need give any other excuse apart from the fact Witter brings nothing to the table anymore and to be fair to him he is right. Witter has fcked this right up for himself, if you fail to prepare then you should be prepared to fail and that ( I think ) is what has cost Junior :thumbsup

 

It's hardly comparitive,
Tszyu undisputed champion and p4p #3, Mayweather p4p #1.

Judah IBF champion in his first defence against Witter. And Junior couldn't even try to win the fight.
