This is the first time in both of their carears that witter would be a decent fight for hatton, he has always been a step back in the past
havin said that - there is still better fights for hatton if he wants to remain on the world stage. for the most part witters fights are boring
look at the marcus decorley (spelling) fight, that was a very rubbish and boring fight
Witter has bigger problems to think about now, his fight against D-Hop will be very difficult. I think Witter will win but it's not an easy fight for him.
Witter should get Ricky after beating D-Hop. If he doesn't, I'll lose respect for Hatton.
I've seen a few fights from him and he's a very skilled, I haven't seen his fight against Steve Forbes though. He was the 1999 National Golden Gloves Light welterweight champion so he's a real skilled fighter, (unlike Hatton) but I think Witter's talent is a notch above him and I see him winning UD.
Hatton is ducking him and has all along in my view ,, Witter is WBC champion in the same division for fuck sake , what else does he need to bring to the table ,,, Ricky dont like him and he dont want him to get a pay ,, you gunna swallow that load of drivel , lol , I thought if a fighter dont like another fighter he wants to beat the crap out of him and be paid to do it ,,, but not ol Ricky boy ,,, come on , are people really that gullible , he is ducking its as plain as day and he quivers in Witters presence , every step along Rickys career a Witter fight was a legit fight , now more than ever , Floyd showed why Hatton has ducked him because Witter will stop Hatton much the same way Floyd did .
Witter has no chance of stopping Ricky Hatton.
I think Hatton would consider Witter at some point down the line. Maybe when Witter has defended his titles against very decent opponents. BUt it wont be age that ruins Witters chances, but more likely he will be exposed by losing when he faces someone half decent.
Not that there are many decent fighters that i can think of in the light welters. But i think if Hatton leaves it, someone else will have whooped Witter.
Witter/D-hop would sure be boring....Both been counterpuncher, But if they could both win both there 2 fights then they need to get it on NO more excuse.
Why would Hatton fight Malignaggi?
If Hatton fights 3 times this year and takes on Witter (if Witter wins all of his fights) at the end of the year it's alright but Malignaggi had a dreadful performance in his last fight.
I guess Hatton saw something and will take advantage of it when they fight. Atleast he will get his belts back this way and the fight with Witter will be a title unification.
People must remember that Witter is getting older and older, I don't think he has more than a year or two left in the boxing business.
Hatton wants to fight in MSG and Malignaggi is the obvious choice for a fight there.

even if he wins that will kill the demand for it probably.
Isn't D-Hop a counterpuncher.
....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
This fight will happen because it has to. It won't be good, and it will be forgotten quickly.
Hatton UD, while Witter, feints, dances and poses, and does nothing on the inside, while Hatton wracks up the rounds.

Logistically the fight can't happen after Witter and Hopkins. That fight takes place next month and Hatton's next fight takes place in May and the one after that will be against Malignaggi so Witter would need at least one more fight in between times.

I jus seen the vid on youtube about hatton ducking witter im afraid it possibly is true lol witter intemidates hatton to rofl.
ur thoughts?
NOW I get why so many are clamoring about Witter and discredit Hatton. I should have known better.
Hatton had no problem fighting 39 or so bums before Kostya, but Witter is not worthy of the fight? Hatton made his deubt in 1997, yet only made a name for himself in 2005.
And Witter is only making a name for himself now. Hatton and Witter were both promoted by Warren. If you want to blame someone for the fight not happening then blame him.
Witter has done nothing to earn a shot at Hatton until recently. Olusegun would give Hatton and Witter major problems.

Meh!....get it on.
Then everyone will regret wanting it in the first place. Witter is boring.
very true! i was almost asleep when he fought zab, and spent the whole fight running a track meet! yeah, yeah, i know! witter only had 9 days to prepare huggers, i know! :bottle:
Witter and Hatton have had a rivalry for years and both have held a portion of world titles at some point. Olusegun is not on the same level as them, and they would both beat him.

That can be answered very simply - Frank Warren is what happened. The fact that Witter called Hatton out does not entitle him to a fight. Ajose Olusegun recently called out Witter after a fight so does that mean Witter is ducking him?
