    I had heard that WItter hit harder. That suprised me, becasue the people who were recieving Hattons punches didnt seem too happy taken them. If Hatton didnt hit hard as some had suggested why would people like the texture and taste of the canvas, and not liking the sound of the 12th round.
    Plus Hatton is quite a stocky guy and is known to be quite strong why would he not hit as hard as Witter?

      Its not about raw power. Its all about styles IMO.

      I think Witter could hit and hurt Hatton. I wonder if Witter could handle Hattons suffocating pressure?

        I think Witter has pretty good power. His speed creates his power though. He dropped Lovemore N'Dou twice with 1 punch. I don't even think that N'Dou saw the punch coming & I've never seen that guy hurt. Even in his fight with Cotto he was hit with the kitchen sink & still put alot of pressure on Cotto & had him on the defensive. I think stylistically Witter would give Hatton alot of trouble & would exploit the same kind of holes in Hatton as did Collazo. I think that's part of the reason why Hatton isn't interested in fighting him.
