JUNIOR WITTER has warned old rival Ricky Hatton he faces a toe-to-toe battle that could see him KO’d on his November 24 comeback.
Bradford veteran Witter goaded Hatton for years in the hope the Manchester boxer would meet him in a showdown many fight fans were desperate to see.
But despite both holding versions of the world light-welterweight title at the same time, the fight never happened. Click Here To Read More]
shame about witter having this......bitterness because he was a very good fighter.
he won every fight but one for years and that was against an excellent zab judah over 12.
gave a very good account of himself in that fight but faded to obscurity after.
i can remember brendan ingle announcing him as the winner in one fight because the ref fvcked off bored with it all!
that shows his popularity if you ask me.
he was close stable mate of naseem hamed at the time but when hamed fell,
witter never got the chance to shine and its a shame.
however, if they had fought then, (hatton) witter by points but now, no fvckin chance.
even after a lay off, ricky would batter him because witter is well done.
we can all see whats going on here, witter is probably skint so,
if i were him i would be nice and engaging/respectful and maybe grovel because to get a fight with ricky this is what hes gonna have to do.
he should know by now ricky does not like opponents to be like this.
im going for a large poo.
Junior Bitter is still fighting for money and that's it. The fight with Hatton probably would have set him up for a long time. That's why it is so hard for him to take..
Hatton was always going to be witters biggest payday and he's bitter because the only time it made sense to make it happen was when frank warren had them both and passed on it.
By the time witter brought something to the table , a paper title , hatton was making 20x wat witter was fighting the urangos and castillos of the world!
a guy who got stopped by malignaggi and almost started crying is tough?
Compared to Paulie, Hatton is a statue and three years off will not help. Witter is right in this case. Hatton is in deep considering the circumstances. I only wish the promoters would see this for what it is and sell it a lot cheaper. I'm not anti Hatton, I just feel they could sell a lot more at half the price.
I wonder when Witter will ever stops talking Ricky. He's been doing this for like 10 years now.
exactly , Frankie Gavin will beat him , it wont be comfortable but he'll win.
The fight is irrelevant now thanks to the ducking ways of Hatton, He had too much to lose by fighting Witter at the time, So we got Michael stewart, Vince philips, Rios, tackie etc and many more south american cabbies..
Witter keeps saying it's a massive fight, but that's the problem, it was never a massive fight.
Hatton v Khan is a massive fight and Hatton v Brook a more relevant one.
Still, I'd like to see Hatton fight Witter. Why not?
i just dont think it does anything for him. even coming off the layoff he should fight someone better than witter. hes not even top 3 on the domestic level and hes way past his prime.
witter isnt relevant on the world level, if hatton wanted a fight to go out on it would make prefect sense, but if he really wants to fight top fighters witter is just a waste of time.

Give it up, please Jr, embaraasing defeats to the likes of Bradley, Alexander and that clown from Prizefighter, where you fell out of the ring, regardless of problems have shown that your best days are gone. Plus never understood all those fandangled kung fu looking movements you used to do with your hands, uttet codswallop!!!
Everyone knows Hatton ducked Witter, they were both the top 2 in the division at the time, worldwide, and Hatton ran from him like the wind, even though Witter called him out on live TV several times. Hatton knew he would have been beaten by Witter, plain and simple so he avoided him at all costs.
But if they fought now it wouldn't be the same although I still wouldn't mind seeing it.
Sounds like quitter is wishing he was still relivent.
Jr Witter is not worth a squirt of Hatton piiss.
Good luck in your defence quitter dont think its gonna end well.
I never believed Hatton was scared of Witter. Hatton's just a stubborn **** and deliberately refused to give Witter a pay day. Witter would do well to be complimentary to Hatton and be mature...cause if he does this, and manages to beat Gavin, it would give him the best chance of a Hatton showdown.
Junior hitter witter you don't have the right to mention the hitmans name your a boring other the hill fighter who wants a big pay day before you retire!!!! Your about as good as a pair of glasses on a bloke with one ear!!!!!
