• Hatton fought Floyd in '07....Witter was getting spanked off Bradley. • Hatton beat Thaxton in '00, Witter at that time was 15-0-2 (4) prior to his disgusting display against Judah, Infact Witter had only faced 7 guys with winning records and he drew with one of them. So we have one guy winning and going places and another riding the coattails of said fighter whilst fighting journeymen.
They were with the same promoter. The fact that the fight didn't happen suggests your boy wasn't telling the truth/
Unless you can prove otherwise then YOU don't know just as I don't. Now would you be expecting Hatton to drop fighting a Castillo or a Mayweather and face Witter? The same Witter who won a vacant title and defended it against opponents like Harris and Morua?
He beat Tszyu in '05, do you want me to give you a record of Witters opponents from his loss to Judah up until then? You know those African goat herders.
Judah was on a long streak of KO's. FW show. Why do you think that Hatton didn't take the fight? Despite the humiliation of being called out on TV by Witter and the fact that they were with the same promoter, Hatton turned down the fight to box other Brits (Rowland, Magee and lightweight Stephen Smith) as well as the imports: 37 year old super-feather Tony Pep The Macho Midget (I kid you not) John Bailey 38 year old lightweight Freddie Pendelton The Cowboy (Yes, really) Justin Rowsell Lil Joe Hutchinson Carlos Vilches Dennis Pederson (Danish super-feather). 10 fights that he should have boxed Witter. Shameful.
Does not matter after that thaxton fight witter moving into position for it What did hatton then do Drop it and fought a semi retired pep for that world wbu title that no longer exists unlike that lovely historic earl of lonsdale challenge belt And let's be clear wicky thought it was his brothers duty to step in against brook for that very same belt ha ha ha ha
Some people will step up and challenge them selves others in order to do so need a huge landing matt filled with cash
Again if he had no intention of making the fight he shouldn't of accepted it. You state all those fighters who at the time was not only higher ranked than Witter but actually better than the opposition that Witter faced during the same time. From '00 to '05 when Witter FINALLY stepped up to fringe world level against Ndou he had faced an assortment of African and European journeymen who was not only not top 50 type ranked but had 78 losses between them. When Hatton was beating Magee ( a fight that I was rooting for Magee in) Witter was facing Alan Bosworth.....just let that sink in.
