    Officially announced and I hope Witter stuffs him. Witters popularity is definately growing and I think people in the boxing community are starting to feel he definately deserves his shot. He's not hiding behind his title- he's doing it the hard way and you've got to respect that.

    Come on Ricky make this match happen :good

    nah, it won't happen....Junior is a nobody with no credibiility (unlike Pedersen, Vilches etc.)....whoops.....no no, he needs a title belt....whoops....no no.....he doesn't deserve a payday as he called Wikcy out..how dare he the cheeky, unreasonable git. Yeah, thats it.

    Witter UD Close but only due to dodgy judging.

    Good exposure for Witter and i think he can or will put on a good performance, i dont think Hopkins has enough power to keep him off.

    Hopefully he does put on a performance, because all of britain deserves to see that hatton fight. I just doesn't hope witter spolis the fight and goes all out too make sure that hatton can't avoid him. I mean forum members on here know I am an hatton fan and I don't particularly like witter, but if he fails to deliver against hopkins on hbo, will u slate him as much as u slated hatton against collazo and urango and be objective.

    No offence mate i dont recall slating Hatton:huh May have done but i cant remember:huh
    Against Collazo i dont think Hatton did to bad, considering he was facing a pretty good welter, i thought Hatton got home by 2 or 3pts, and obviously against Urango he was a bit frustrating but if he says he had a cold i believe him.

    Witter has got to perform and capitalise on the Harris ko, while i thought the fight wasnt particularly good the finish was! If he doesnt perform like Claude Abrams said after Morua fight his fight against Hatton will be further away and he will only have himself to blame!

    Thats what I meant I did not mean that u were slating hatton. All I was saying was after a crap performance they are all over hatton like a rash and I hope they do the same with witter. I hope that clears it up for you.

    Yeah mate i understand know:good my bad, i dont know if they will but there seems to be groupies of certain fighters on here who think their fighter is the second coming of Christ!

    My favourite fighter of the modern greats is Kostya Tszyu and dont get me wrong i knew his faults and didnt and dont mind admitting them:D

    True Koysta was a legend, but maybe the fact that he got beat of a pie and chips and beer belly hatton. Thats why hatton maybe hated so mucxh on here that people still can't get over the fact that hatton made him quit. Yes hatton as got his fault i mean he his a city fan for one thing LOL. I mean its better than united only just.

    I think Witter will beat Hopkins, but I hope he takes his 'A' game, as I would like to see him in there with Ricky Hatton.

    I am a Hatton fan, and would back him to beat Witter, but it will be a good fight.
