I'll start it off: Ricky Hatton. he is repeatedly ducking Witter who is the #2 in the same division as him and they are of the same nationality so it would make for a great fight for the British fans. Ricky claims to be a man of the ppl but yet he isn't giving the ppl what they want. The mayweather fight doesn't count cuz that was clearly for the money and I believe that not even hatton thought he could've beaten him. if money wasn't a factor, mayweather-hatton wouldn't have happened.
Who do you think is the best ducker?
Let's not forget that Olusegun has called out Hatton to deaf ears.
olusegun has been calling Hatton out for a year now..but what happen???
They're trying to put olusegun and Witter on the same wavelength but it isnt going to work.
Hatton will fight Witter next year unless Witter loses first. Hatton is fighting a tune up in May or June and then Malinaggi by the end of the year. After those two fights Hatton will go for a rematch with Mayweather and if that falls through then Witter will get a chance to fight a legend like Ricky Hatton. After Hatton destroys Witter the excuse will be that "ducked" Junior until he was "past his prime."
Hatton has been called out by EVERY JWW because he's the biggest payday in the division and has been for awhile now. Whoever Ricky fights he will be "ducking" somebody.
Since Hatton is "scared" of Witter and has "no" chance of winning, why hasn't Witter gone after the other top JWW's during these "seven" years of chasing Hatton? You would think someone who's good enough to scare a top P4P fighter like Hatton, should have unified the division over these SEVEN years. Why hasn't Witter unified the division?
Stop twisting facts mate, Witter started calling out Hatton when Hatton wasnt a payday...Your payday excuses are lame and wear thin now.
Witter has gone on and face most of the guys at the top of 140 and his doing so again in March, Since hatton won the Ring magazine belt in 2005 from Tsyzu he hasnt face anyone ranked in the Top 5 at 140 ever, Witter has...The only person Witter hasnt face his Hatton who seems to be using his popularity in blocking Witter from fighting for the Ring belt.

yeah, they remind me of Calzaghe fans. hatton fans have decreased quite a bit since his KO lose to mayweather but some delusionals are still around. I'm guessing the same will happen after Calzaghe loses to Hopkins. But maybe not, cuz that lose will come by UD which will be disputed by every Calzaghe fan till the end of time. Heck, some are still saying that Hatton lost cuz of the referee so I could just imagine the excuses after Calzaghe loses.
OH they have definitely decrease since the Mayweather KO, I couldnt stop laughing for weeks, When Mayweather moved up they all said he did so to avoid Hatton...Even though Hatton came out himself and said "I need two or three tune up" before i go on to face someone like Mayweather,In months leading up to the fight they were telling me how Hatton would take Mayweather "Down the threnches", Somewhere he has never been before, How he would make Mayweather fight for every second of every round.
When you point out to them that Mayweather is a fitness freak who trains while his opponent are still sleeping they make you a Hater, A day couldnt go by without various article on every boxing website about what Hatton could/Would do to Mayweather....So for him to be embarass and got KTFO unto the ringpost like an amateur gives me great pleasure.
Now they coming out with dumb excuses like the referee, "He fought the best" in the world BS.
You have to understand when it comes to Hatton fans we are not talking about 'Normal' fans here, They would believe anything Hatton shits out as the gospel, The guy has the most padded record from 2000-2005 before he fought Tsyzu, He was made the underdog in his win over Tsyzu not just because of how good Tsyzu was because of how bad Hatton's opposition was..He NEVER fought anyone who was ranked at the IBF to get a shot at Tsyzu..His ranking was brought and pay for by his promoter (Frank warren).

My opinion of it is that RIcky has left it too late. He should have taken on Witter years back, when he had less of a status and perhaps less pressure. Ever since then his status and reputation has built up more and more. If he loses this fight, which if taken years ago would have been nothing he pretty much loses everything he has built up.
Physcologically Witter has him, at the time I think Ricky had no gripe fighting him, but now he's insecure and somewhat lacking confidence.
Totally agree....But even back then SKY pressured Warren and Hatton into the fight but they still ducked it ...Ian darke even made fun of Hatton at one of Witters fight, Hatton didnt know where to look...You could see the fear in Hatton's eye.
listen, if you are trying to convince me that most of hatton's opponents were better than Witter in the 7 year span that he has been ducking him, its not gonna happen. I am not delusional. There isn't any comparison, witter is FAR better than 90% of the guys hatton picked to fight instead of Witter in the past couple of years. Its just fact.

It would be wise for his bank acct. to take a fight in the states with Malinaggi b4 taking a higher risk for less reward with Witter. I think he will fight Witter b4 he retires though definitely.
Lie detector tests are fallible but that's hardly the point, Hatton was fighting guys who had mixed it a world level while Witter was still fighting at European level. I'm not knocking him because a lot of fighters go down that route but you have to understand that a fight with Witter would have been an unnecessary distraction.

do you really truley believe that? if I were to hook you up to a lie detector and asked you if you believe this to be true, I think you would fail that test.

Some of them were more deserving than Witter at the times the fights were made.

lol, what a load of crap. I guess Olieviera, Vilches, Stewart, Tackio, Rios etc, all deserved to be in the same ring as Hatton. He fought all those guys and plenty more since Witter first called him out. Fighters who are light years from Witter in skill. Don't kid yourself, hatton is ducking.

Witter didnt deserve to be in the same ring as Hatton until recently so
saying he has been ducking him is ludacrus

I dont think you grasp it do you.
WITTER HAD NOTHING UNTIL HE WON THE WBC TITLE LAST YEAR!
Hatton is avoiding Witter now because he needs to find form first, but to say hes been ducking him for 7yrs is really dumb Don Omega.
Its like saying Hopkins best wins are against 147lb fighters and Wright who fought 10lbs above any weight he`d fought previous completely skipping SMW.
You would agree to that would you?
No kidding, saying Hatton has been ducking Witter is like saying Mayweather is ducking Margarito now.
if hatton isn't scared of witter he would have fought him by now. its 7 god damn years. how could you still think hatton isn't scared?
Its not the money excuse cuz he fought far less opposition and money draws. Its not world title shots excuse cuz witter has a world title. its not anything but the fact that he is scared. and warren use to be the promoter for both fighters so he would stand to make more money if both got in the ring cuz he would get money from 2 sides. but as witter said "Warren told me, ricky's my boy, I'm looking after him. I'm getting him some bums to beat so he could hold on to those world titles."
The bottom line is, Witter never brought anything to the table except a boring style and no fans until now. It's just a fact.
Witter also is not great. Jesus, who knows he might lose to D-Hop.
He takes rounds off, stagnates, poses and fades spectacularly in the late rounds.
I do agree if Hatton doesn't fight Witter over the course of the year (THIS YEAR) he is ducking him. Which is ridiculous because he would beat him comfortably on the cards IMO.
I give him a pass for not fighting Witter until now, he was some sort of a risk,( he has KO power) for zero reward. But He has no fans, and is involved in howlers.

Karma your way mate, I saw the interview where Witter told Hatton to his face and quote "Warren told me, ricky's my boy, I'm looking after him. I'm getting him some bums to beat so he could hold on to those world titles."
And Hatton knew that was the case and couldnt even say anything he just smile and looked away.
"Olieviera, Vilches, Stewart, Tackio, Rios..... when you have a guy like witter who is holding a title"
witter didnt have a world title when hatton was fightin those fights
how can you call hatton a ducker, he has fought 2 men who people have considered the best pound for pound fighters in the world at that time, his last 6 or so fights have been for world titles.
isnt a ducker somebody who avoids fights?
tszyu, castillo were because hatton wanted the huge payday with mayweather and that was the route to do it and besides, they were past their primes. hatton either fights ppl who are bums or big paydays. Witter is not a big payday and he certainly isn't a bum. I mean, how else you explain fights with bums like Olieviera, Vilches, Stewart, Tackio, Rios..... when you have a guy like witter who is holding a title. why avoid? scared is the only explanation.
