WBC junior welterweight champion Junior Witter is not too happy with the choice of opponent for UK-rival Ricky Hatton. Witter told The Daily Star that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will not only beat and probably stop Hatton on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas, he will likely retire him as well.

“It’s just a shame that I’m not going to be the first person to beat Ricky now because I think it is a shutout victory for Mayweather, even a late stoppage," Witter said. “Ricky has got great heart but I don’t see him doing anything and I think he will retire after that fight.
