    The only person who is bothered by this fight not happening is the one person Hatton WANTS to be bothered by it. Junior isn't happy. And as long as that's the case, Hatton doesn't care. From where I'm standing that's funny.

    Yeah mate I know I was having a laugh obviously.

    Totally agree. Sleaze nation is right though. As long as Hatton has his band of moronic loyal Man City fans he will never be pressured into this fight.

    No, I think you'll find most people here want it to happen, with the exception of a few Hatton fanboys who are scared the smoke and mirrors career of Hatton will be exposed

    If its funny to you that two guys from the same country can be ranked 1 and 2 in the same division without ever fighting each other due to politics you aren't a true boxing fan. 1 and 2 in the same ****ing division. How ridiculous is that?

    Of course I'm aware of the situation, but it's contracts and who rejected or for what reason.

    It's boxing bullsh*t that only the members involve KNOW, you can only judge on what fights happen. Hatton fought Mayweather.

    Witter is one of the belt holders of a division that Hatton is champion.
    He is one of a group of fighters below Hatton, no more, no less.

    For the sake of Hatton's somewhat suspect legacy at 140 of course it has to happen. If he is a true 140lber like he always shouts that he is he needs to start cleaning up that division. Its not a very deep division in any case, the best fighters there are a Cotto featherfisted left over and Witter.

    Its a no brainer to me that Hatton must fight Witter on the basis that hes the number 2 in the division alone. Never mind the British derby element of it.

    He has fought and beaten the best opposition outside of Hatton in the weight class. He fully merits his shot.

    Hatton already fought one guy who knocked out Harris. Witter will need to do something a little bit more impressive than that.

    I thought this thread was about Calzaghe. Why are we having this same boring argument about Hatton again?

    It was Beatboxer. All his fault.

    Ndou, Koetlnik, Harris, Corley.

    These are all decent fighters. If Hatton is true to his word and stays at 140 who else is there to fight? Malinaggi does not have as impressive a resume. Baby bull was dethroned at 135 and has alot of work to do to get back.

    Its a logical fight for many reasons. Witter deserves his shot. Who else is there for Hatton to fight at 140 in 'his' division?

    The difference between Hatton + Calzaghe is Hatton has his hordes of Man City Pissheads and he is media friendly. So he had less to lose from leaving Fwank. Plus his father is a businessman who understands finance. Calzaghe had a family to provide for and doesn't have the fan base or media profile of Hatton even though he is obviously the more talented. So i can't really knock him for staying with Fwank.

    Its OK Dan stick to my thread if you feel like having a logical debate about Calzaghe...this thread is purely for Calzaghe hate purposes and now with the resurrection of the Hatton issue that I do confess I brought up, excessive Hatton nuthugging by sleazy boy.

    This is some classic delusional **** :patsch

    Hatton's never had a chance to fight Witter right? He was too busy with greats like Phillips, Tackie, Oliveria, Vilches, Stewart, NEED I GO ON?

    Maybe its 'no more no less' for you, but for a man whos actions are so often determined by how much money he makes, or how much exposure a fight gets I'd say the British element adds something. The American TV networks have expressed an interest, so that's that old chestnut out the window...

    Did you dream that? American TV wouldn't care if Witter dissappeared off the face of the earth. :lol:
