Hatton hype is one of the most detrimental ideas in boxing period. He comes up with the biggest bull**** excuse to not face Witter cause he knows he would be owned by his fellow countryman.....It would probably be the biggest exposure and ownage of an overhyped wrestler in history....Sure not much shame in being beaten by PBF..but to be owned by the guy who's been calling him out in the same neighborhood for years would be priceless...and if the fight ever came off thats exactly what would happen. Cheers
I think Witter would knock Hatton out too.. And Hatton fans come with the excuse "Oh well Hatton fought Mayweather so why would he be scared of Witter?" Well for 1. Mayweather is the best fighter right now P4P so there is no shame in losing to him, And 2. He got paid his biggest payday ever plus he moved up a weight class so even if he lost people wouldnt look down on him for it cause it was MAYWEATHER. Now if he loses to Witter in his own weight class he has NO EXCUSES to use. Plus it would be embarrassing for him.
After getting schooled I think people in Britian would be throwing tomatoes at the fat *******, as well they should......****ING COWARD...plain and simple:deal
I think Witter is a big chance of beating Hatton and if Hatton gets beaten by him now its career over. Hatton is been mentioned to fight big money earners like De la Hoya and Pacman, plus popular up and comers who also promise good coin like Cotto and Diaz. It would probably a stinker fight, as both are notorious holders and have been in some very boring fights in the past. Witter likes to measure up and counter punch, Hatton likes to smother and wrestle. Witter needs a couple of wins to get him on the map, but no one wants a piece of him. I can honestly see why Ricky is avoiding him from a financial standpoint but for a fighter who claims to be the everyman's man, surely he has got to see that Witter is what his loyal British fans want him in against. Sidenote...Khan vs Hitman in 09, massive fight in the making??
Well I guess all the wingers about Hatton speaking about himself in third person will really be rooting for Witter now.
this fight just has to happen, witter holds the wbc belt and hattons wants to be a champ again , it will be like azumah nelson v mcguigan a great matchup that should but never happened !!!
Hatton thinks that he has a chance of beating Mayweather in a rematch :bbb :yikes It's a shame that now a days being a world champion is not enough to get you big fights and make you a name. Witter is often boring to watch and does not have a large following. Yet he is dangerous. For these reasons, although he is the WBC champion no one wants to fight him. Hatton is a coward for not wanting to fight him. For him it is all about money even though he has more than he could ever spend. How can he call himself a man of the people???
