    The problem with half of you guys is that you don't notice that everyone is saying they want hatton to fight witter, the problem we all have is instead of bitching all the time he should just get one with other things and try and make some other good fights for himself.

    very true instead of bitching year after year hatton has been ducking him. All u hatton haters, witter u must admit have shot himself in the foot with poor performances when he was european champion and the fact that he can't sell out the doncaster dome either. if u were a big TV company iE HBO who would u have a fighter who can sell out arena's or a bloke who has trouble sell 5,000 tickets.

    No one cares about Witter. Ricky should fight him just to take his belt

    :D I but they'll say hatton just because floyd beat him then the unauthordox style of witter is going to beat him. I mean is unauthordox style worked against harris but it looked bloody awful against Chop, Chop and Mora.

    hatton witter= megafight = stadium fight

    no doubt....so not a big fight or not a big money fight or cant sell out here or there is not a valid excuse.

    agreed if this fight doesnt happen then witter has to move on to malignaggi torres etc. I think he and is management would be aware of that, i think they just want to keep trying to get hatton as they know what a big fight it would be for both men, us the fans (the most important) and their wallets.

    Witter - Hatton isn't the British megafight people are trying to make out it would be.

    It's Hatton's massive fanbase + 200 Witter fans.

    And in terms of public knowledge, non boxing fans will say 'Junior Who?'

    More people goto Great match ups. Big domestic rivalaries are easy to sell. The top2 in a division fighting are easy to sell. ITS A BIG FIGHT

    A Hatton fight will sell with or without Witter.

    A witter fight usually flops but with hatton it will soar and hatton knows this maybe thats why he his making junior sweat before he signs the fight.

    Britain knew who Floyd was, proclaiming him as the best in the world gathered interest too.

    Floyd'd brash personality and lifestyle also attracted interest.

    Some boring ****wit from Bradford isn't going to capture the publics imagination.

    Why do you people keep saying that Witter is just looking for a pay day?!

    Didn't Witter offer to make the fight happen under the terms that the WINNER takes everything?

    And regardless of whether or not you think Witter has a big fan base, it would be a BIG fight!

    And regardless of THAT, Hatton has said that he wants his next fight in Manchester. If he's fighting in Manchester he is fighting for British fans. And if he fights a British fighter who ELSE could he possibly fight? Junior Witter is the number one junior welterweight contender in the WORLD, not just Britain. If Hatton fights a local, he HAS to fight Witter.
