Not this again. Face the truth Hatton has beat no real great prime fighter. He fought pussies when he held the WBU title (or well past prime fighters). Kostya was ready to retire and go on come dancing when he faced Hatton. Castillo was well past prime and Collazo beat Hatton at WW. PBF is also not a natural WW so stop kidding yourself on this issue. If WW was such a problem then why is Hatton once again tumpeting a PBF fight (besides the money) cus PBF will not come down to lww ? Why dont Hatton stop bitching and being a media ****** and face the big boys. I myself would like to see a fight against Witter but more so I would like to see him face Judah (I am sure Judah would come down to lww if a couple $100K were dangled in front of him). I can see a well motivated Judah doing a complete number on Hatton (more so than PBF). The fight will not happen and the reason is simple economics. Hatton can lose to the likes of PBF again and HBO and co will still pay him big bucks for fights. If he loses to Witter, HBO execs will begin to see that Hatton is not the golden boy and begin to back away.
Calzaghe fought two mandatories.....Mario Veit........and Mario Veit . Witter going after Kotelnik again is a good idea . You can have the smallest fanbase in the World but with two out of the four World titles that people like to recognize(WBC , WBA) you will gather attention and people wanting to fight you .
Sorry - I assumed that making 18 defences of a title before unification must have meant quite a few mandatories! You are correct on the other point though.
Resume posting when you know a bit more about boxing, he is not fighting in the welterweight division
Tell me your not talking about Hatton? Mayweather, Witter, Cotto and Judah all beat him at 140 and thats why he turned down fights with Mayweather, Witter, Cotto and Judah at 140 :roll:
No ****. Resume posting when you read the thread properly and see point 6 in Beeston's post and that I agreed with it. Twat.
Resume posting when you remove your mouth from Hattons ******* and comment on Witter when you know you read what fights hes trying to get instead of assuming hes only trying to fight Hatton, recently hes offered fights to: Cintron Cotto Quintana Malignaggi Hatton Kotelnik D Hopkins Its not his fault they all turn him down because they don't fancy the risk of facing the slick switch hitter. Even Mayweather fought Mitchell instead of fighting Witter as a mandatory BTW your a dumbass Witter has to fight Bradley or he loses his WBC belt
So I say he should offer to fight guys in the welterweight division. You come back and tell me he's not a welterweight and insult me for saying it..... And then in the next breath tell me about welterweights he's already offered fights to. Wow, you're a new level of dumbass. Where's the proof he offered these guys fights anyway?
You come out with ignorant comments onourway, saying all he does is call out Hatton and he should fight the top Welterweight contenders, which is stupid because 1. hes not a welterweight 2. he calls out plenty of fighters 3. Witter and Hatton are 1 & 2 at 140lbs, the fight should be made if Hatton was a real champion The proof he called them out? His promoter Henessey tried to make fights with them if you follow the boxing news its well documented. Ever heard of a fighter called Charles Burley he was a wleterweight at the same time as Sugar Ray Robinson and was probably as talented but Sugar Ray ducked him. Burley went up in weight to fight the best fighters at middleweight and got beat because he was too small. But he beat better names than Sugar Ray Robinson but never got the glory.
If it's stupid to say he should fight welterweights, then Witter must be a stupid guy as according to you that's exactly what he wanted to do. So Mayweather, Hatton, Quintana, Berto, Kotelnik, Cintron, Cotto etc have all ducked him? Well Witter fans say Hatton ducks him because Witter would win.....that means Witter would beat all of them, on a H2H basis Witter must be P4P#1....*Guffaw* Your comparison between Burley and SRR holds no weight as Witter hasn't beat better names than Hatton.
Why does every thread turns into the same lame debate? Going back to what the original thread was about personally I'd like to see Witter clean up the other belts. I except Witter Hatton isn't going to happen this year so if Junior could pick up another alphabet it would improve his standing. If Kotelnik isn't keen Torres is an option.
Fighting welters takes away his advantages BUT he is willing to do it to establish himself. Head-Head Witter is a top P4P fighter, better than Hatton at any rate and he would beat many of the fighters hes Hes already beaten Kotelnik afterall (Current WBA Champ) and Ndou (IBF champ) and Harris (WBA Champ) and Corley (WBO Champ). Any of the champs he gets in with he beats, the other champs don't want a piece of that, but maybe someone will grow some balls
If NDou beats Malignaggi Witter will hold one of the titles and hold victories over the other two champions.
The simple fact is that Witter vs Hatton is the best fight at light welter weight with the two posible best performers. Us the fans deserve to see such big fights. Any excuses for the fight being put off or not happening are a disgrace to all boxing fans. So what if Witter is a wanker. Witter vs Hatton should be made to please the fans.
Hattons official shill here 1. Granted Hatton hasnt beaten any great fighters in their prime, but tell me all of the great or even good fighters that Witter has beaten in their prime? 2. Tszyu had just beaten Mitchell in better fashion than Mayweather did and was ranked in the top 3 pound for pound and was chasing a fight with Oscar, he wasnt in his prime, but he was still quality. 3. Castillo had seen better days, but was in no way shot. Collazo ran Hatton close but he did not win. 4. Your disdain for Hatton is obvious in your remark about Hatton and Judah. For the record i think Judah would beat Hatton. 5. Witter needs to have succesive impressive fights, not an impressive fight every three fights. Hatton shill over and out:hi:
