..Is Ricky Hatton A Hypocrite?...

Damn it. I liked Ricky Hatton. WHo the fuck cares if he loses. Just fight. This is getting ridiculous. Do people not fight when they think they can lose. God, I am glad I root for Pavlik.

But, you see.. He's using that logic against someone (me) who didn't never used that logic. So, it's really a moot point. I'd prefer a straight forward answer. I understand, Im just explaining how he answered the question and the precedent for it.

he is using the same logic that floyd fans used to defend him when he ducked margarito. You know, "do you really think Margarito is a threat anyway?" Still, yes Hatton should fight Witter or Malinaggi ASAP. But, you see.. He's using that logic against someone (me) who didn't never used that logic. So, it's really a moot point.

Fuck Bum Hatton man. Who's he gonna fight now? Pauli Malignaggi??? LOL Stay a Jr Welterweight Fatton...

OKay. Doesn't really answer the question. But, alright. he is using the same logic that floyd fans used to defend him when he ducked margarito. You know, "do you really think Margarito is a threat anyway?" Still, yes Hatton should fight Witter or Malinaggi ASAP.

Hatton will knock the fuck out of some bum in a tune up, then he will whipe the floors with little paulie M... after that he will fight witter and knock his ass out too... PLAIN AND SIMPLE OKay. Doesn't really answer the question. But, alright.

Hatton earned a shot at Mayweather after beating the man at 140, unifying at 140, moving up and winning a belt at welterweight and then moving back down and beating a legend in the shape of Jose Luis Castillo. So far Junior Witter has beat DeMarcus Corley and Vivian Harris. The situations simply aren't comparable. Yes they are. We aren't taklking about who deserves what. Because Hatton didn't DESERVE a shot either. he fought ONCE at 147 and looked shit. That's not EARNING a damn thing. Nonetheless, Witter has been a REIGNING champion at 140 and has lost only once to a guy he fought when he was still pretty green. Looked decent in that fight, anyway. Hatton has avoided him for a while. Hatton was the one who said he wanted the fight so bad. That's supposed to be the reason he left Warren, isn't it. No big fights and Hatton said Warren promised him a Witter fight that never happened. He said he had "nasty remarks" under pictures of Witter in his gym. It made sense, in THAT regard for those two to fight. Also, hatton has been a draw for a long time. ANyone he FOUGHT is a draw, especially if the guy has an actual shot. Witter had one, and I'm sure most of Hattons fans know that. So, financially it makes sense. They went to watch him knock out bums, they'd watch him fight Witter. Now, if you want to say, too big a risk without the shot of a big payday. That's a good argument. Just don't give Mayweather shit when he is in the same situation.

The better question is. Is Fake FLoyd a hypocrite? Yes, Floyd is a hypocrite. The Cotto fight makes decent money. And he said it's all about the money. Now, he's got the De La Hoya option, so that excuses his hypocrisy due to the fact that he IS making more money with THIS fight. Nonetheless, he's still a hypocrite. When he came up, he complained that the biggest fighters didn't give the toughest challenger a fight and now.. He does the same thing. Let's not dodge the question, though... IS RICKY HATTON A HYPOCRITE?

It has never made sense for Ricky to fight Junior until now. Never. And now it makes more sense to fight someone who isn't awkward so Hatton can get back into the swing of things before he fights an awkward guy like Junior. But Hatton isn't a hypocrite. Fighting Hatton was the biggest most lucrative option for Mayweather by far at the time. I have heard rumours that the Mayweather fight had been discussed before the Castillo fight, I'm not saying they are true but it's certainly a possibility. Witter is not the biggest fight for Hatton at 140 lbs. Malignaggi is. And honestly without Hatton nobody would be talking about Witter. The reason he is being mentioned is because of the usual mean-spirited nonsense on internet boxing forums. It's not enough to not like a fighter, you have to hate him. Hey Hatton isn't on his own. How many people came out with "Mayweather is ducking Cotto the big old coward!!!111oneone"? If it wasn't for people disliking Hatton (or choosing to troll against Hatton fans, whatever) Witter would by (on the internet as well as in real life) fighting for peanuts in the Doncaster Dome.

Hatton better fight a "big" name after summer or I'm gonna be sad =[

...look dudes. Bottom line is that Witter and Hatton are probably the two best fighters at 140. But the thing is, Witter really....he's done fuck all. He beat a Harris who also did fuck all. It's important for the division, but we all know hatton wont do it. so stop fucking talking about it. Sorry Dad.........

if i was ricky i wouldn't want to fight him...hes difficult to look good against...but i would like to see ricky end his career by dominating the light welter division....

Hatton will fight Witter if Junior ever manages to unify the belts, or raises his profile enough where the fight makes sense for Ricky.

The guy is a flat out hypocrite and a joke. The real reason he wants no part of Witter is that he would lose the fight. He's an overrated bum, like most other British fighters. Sssshhhhhh fatty boom boom

Yeah,but so is every other boxer...especially when they have the upper hand.

i dont wanna hear this bullshit about ricky hatton duckin witter anymore... Ricky may not say he will take the fight right now but look, he just came off a loss to the biggest fight of his career, hes obviously going to take a tune up fight his first fight back. Hes not just gonna jump right into fighting witter. I do believe that its true, that Witter is a dangerous fighter... but hatton does not owe him an immediate fight.. Let hatton win his first fight back with some bum, then let him beat Paulie malignaggi... and if witter is still winning at that point which im assuming they both will be.. THEN they should fight

I wonder what the clamour for this fight will be when Witter goes to America and stinks the joint up again. This fight will happen because it has to. If it didn't have to it would never happen. Because Witter is a boring fighter with no fans who poses a significant risk for no reward. At least now he has a belt. Make no mistake Witter is one of the worlds most boring fighters. No one has ever been interested in this fight until now, because he willactually bring something to the table. He is a good fighter, but in that uber awkard tough to watch ingle style, I think he is a shocker personally.
