Witter: I can beat Mayweather!

Danny · Dec 21, 2007

By Andrew Wake: Britains World Boxing Council light welterweight champion Junior The Hitter Witter feels that he is the man to do what his countryman and arch rival Ricky Hatton couldnt by beating pound for pound king Pretty boy Floyd Mayweather. In an interview with South Yorkshire newspaper The Star, 33 year old Witter said I get up for a challenge and they do not get any bigger than Floyd Mayweather. I'd rate it 60-40 in my favour.

He added: The fight nearly happened in 2006 when I became his mandatory opponent but Mayweather had to pull out through injury and then moved up a weight.

My promoter plans to talk to Mayweather's advisers to see if we can get it on again.

Mayweather has said he wants to come and box in England, so this would be the perfect opportunity for him.

Asked whether he saw any problems in fighting at the higher weight of 147 pounds the Bradford native, who has lost only once in his career when he was out pointed by Zab Judah seven years ago, replied I would still have the power and the speed at that weight so its no problem.

My take? Well, considering that The Hitter has been unable to lure Ricky Hatton home for what would be a massive all British match up, I feel the likelihood of a modern great like Floyd Mayweather Jnr jumping on a plane and coming across the pond is very, very slim.

That said, Mayweather has expressed his newly found love of the British and has stated that he would like to showcase his talents on these shores if he doesnt retire immediately, the key problems though are 1) Witter sells less tickets than your average third tier soccer team and 2) fights with either Paul Williams or Miguel Cotto would generate more of what the Pretty boy loves bestMoney.

WTF has Witter been smoking? Must be some strong ****, that's all I can say!

The line about 60/40 in my favour is absolutely laughable. I laughed so much when first reading it, that my ribs were hurting. Still chuckling away now!

Floyd would out-box, out-fight & out-think Witter. He would take him to skool & back many times during the fight.

Fair assessment from Junior

I'd actually rate it 70-30 in Witter's favour, he's doing himself a disservice there

Come on you Brits

Witter has called out - Hatton - Malignaggi - & Mayweather.

He's getting like Winky Wright - calling out any name he can think of - in hopes of landing a fight.

TFFP · Dec 21, 2007

Well it's not suprising

He's unorthodox - impossible to prepare for, sells **** all tickets, and is actually very very good

Who needs him?

As ridiculous as it sounds in theory, he would give Floyd way more problems than Ricky did, thats for sure.

Witter ran against Judah, at least Mayweather would be fast enough to catch him.

A closer fight then Hatton vs Mayweather

YAWN. If you don't now anything about that fight, the circumstances or how much Junior has improved please dont post anything about it. Such a lame argument now.

Oh yes, Arguello got knocked out by Jorge Reyes in something like his 8th fight in '72, he never amounted to anything after that did he?

Closer in what sense? So he doesnt KO him but instead he might just brutalize him for 12 rds..... PBF would make him his *****! Take that to the bank....
