Hatton: Witter blew his chance

Hatton new all along that witter would fail, and make that an Epic Fail.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/boxing/article982789.ece RICKY HATTON has revealed why he will never fight Junior Witter — an awards-do insult. Hatton, 29, makes his light-welterweight comeback on May 24 against Juan Lazcano in Manchester after losing his unbeaten record to Floyd Mayweather. The Hitman has been taunted for years by Witter who now holds the prestigious WBC world title. Hatton was ready to bow to the pressure until the Bradford switch-hitter put his foot in it. Hatton said: “I was half contemplating fighting him but it all changed at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards in Birmingham. “They got me up, Joe Calzaghe, Enzo Maccarinelli, Clinton Woods and Witter. We all walked to the stage and I shook hands with them all. Witter leaned over to me and whispered ‘One day.’ “I just thought, ‘You’ve just peed that up against the wall there.’ I really was thinking about getting in the ring with him.” Witter, 34, defends his WBC belt against Tim Bradley in Nottingham on May 10. what a pathetic coward Its ok for Hatton to get a shot at PBF by disrespecting him but Witter doesn't have the same luck. I STILL wanna see this fight.

This is like the Paul Williams situation. He beats Harris and all of a sudden and is now considered the most feared man in his division. When he loses to Bradley next month this Hatton/Witter bullshit will evaporate, along with Witter's quest for any credibility. :banana::banana::banana::banana: God I'm good.

LMAO, so ALL Witter said was "One Day". No name calling, no taunting, no insults just the words "One Day". Hatton, don't do it to yourself. Ricky is a bitch for real.... I meaned for real...

Also it's nothing like Mayweather Cotto. Mayweather is 31 years of age and already proven, Cotto is 27, a "young lion". HAtton is actually not even 30 yet and Witter is 34. But i don't think Hatton has to fight him. If he hates him, don't give him the payday.

This is NOTHING like Williams. Junior Witter is 35 years old and has been calling Ricky out for about 7 years!

hatton is not the linear champ. what has he done to be recognised as the champ. hes moved upto WW twice and got his ass beat and then come back down to fight bums and a shot castillo. since zoo he has done fuck all. the ring should strip him of that title When a loss to Judah and Harris is the biggest names on your resume than you can consider it "bum" fighting. Why doesn't Witter move up and try to avenge hiss whooping from Judah?

You seem PISSED mate Witter getting to you and your coward hero?? Why are you bothered with what your Hero would be making instead of actually fighting in the ring?? I hope you're Matthew Hatton..The talentless younger brother at least then we know you're getting some money from him. As you said, "Hatton only fights for money" and unfortunately for Witter he doesn't bring any to the table.

c'mon man,that's just weak...

This is like the Paul Williams situation. He beats Harris and all of a sudden and is now considered the most feared man in his division. When he loses to Bradley next month this Hatton/Witter bullshit will evaporate, along with Witter's quest for any credibility. Yeah?? Just pray and wish he loses to bradley..People like you have been praying for Witter to lose against Ndou,Kotelnik,Corley( who many picked to beat Witter and also Vivian harris..But he kept throwing it back in your faces. You should be praying for a fight between the best 2 guys at 140 not the other way round unless you're scare for your hero.

I'm a Hatton fan but I really don't know what he's up to with this. I must admit though it smacks of cowardice. Lost a bit of respect for him after his, erm, fight with Lazcano was priced at £14.95 (don't tell me he couldn't have engineered a better price) and now this!!! Hatton man, get a friggin grip eh? Nobody wants to see you fighting Mayweather again, Witter is where it's at. If he doesn't get the Witter fight on it'll hang round his neck like a noose til the day he dies.

can't b real

This is like the Paul Williams situation. He beats Harris and all of a sudden and is now considered the most feared man in his division. When he loses to Bradley next month this Hatton/Witter bullshit will evaporate, along with Witter's quest for any credibility.

Hatton would just be a champ at 140 if he beat Paulie M, He definitely isnt the Undisputed champ nor was he linear..He has the ring belt but hasnt actually fought any top 140Ib since he beat Tsyzu, Castillo was just ranked at 140 even though he never did anything there. exactly, but him and his blind fans keep claiming he his.

Fighting paulie would mean he'd get top billing at the MSG so that flight's defiantly going to happen before any fight with Witter. I reckon this fight will happen down the road eventually, and Witter will be a singing different tune when Hatton does eventually step up.

How old is this article? come out today

yh i think hatton was scared all along. everytime i saw them both interviewed together hatton appeared feel uneasy about it all. he should just man up and fight him now, forget paulie.

If i was hatton i would have shut up by now with all the excuses, He just makes himself look pathetic/ridiculous with this now...Either maintain a silence or take the fight, Dont try to fool people by not taking the fight then trying to make us believe that the guy (Witter) isnt worthy of being in the ring with you when all you have done in 43 fights (apart from 2 fights) is fight bums after bums. Good post. Hatton's a good fighter and I've been a fan of his but the man loses more and more respect every day this Witter thing goes on. As the world champ he oughta fight his top challenger. But he won't be able to dodge Witter much longer without all the public callin him on it, just like PBF with Cotto. Witter keeps winning and Ricky's got no choice but to man the fuck up. Winky had to wait a long time and hear every excuse before he started gettin big fights, and when he did he fucked up Shane and Tito. I think the fight will eventually happen and Witter will beat his ass and tax it a little extra for makin him wait.

I think its safe to say NOW that Frank warren was never the one who was oppose to this fight those years ago, I remember when i spoke to warren about it he just said anytime he mentions Witter's name Hatton would start being nervous, I thought Warren was saying that because of his split from hatton but now i definitely believe him.

I don't get it. What's that mean? That he would get it (Get his ass kick by Witter) one day..Like NO matter how Hatton runs he would have to fight him one day.
