Witter-Hatton who wins

[SnoopySmurf]

Zab Judah made him look feather fisted. I saw that fight, it was hard for Judah to figure him out coz he kept running and posing. Finally near the end of the fight, Judah just started blasting him.

Hatton by UD.

Witter has beaten no one worth mentioning. He does not knock out many people either. He could not beat Hatton by decision due to Hatton's work rate so how could he possibly win?

The bookies are not usually wrong either, as if the fight was actually made Witter would be an overwhelming underdog.

For all you Hatton haters, he is definately a cut above Witter end of story.

Suggesting Witter has beaten 'nobody' is easy to type, but harsh on the Bradford puncher.

N'Dou, Kotelink and Corley is a reasonable body of work and while the nature of the performances were inconsistent it stacks up well with the winning ledgers of the remaining fighters in Hatton's division.

And that is an important context, the 140 pound division is increasingly barren.

Vivian Harris, Jose Luis Castillo (if he makes weight) and.......Kendall Holt?

hattons work rate would actually work against him. witter is a sharp and powerfull counterpuncher. witter does not usually go out lookin for ko's but picks little mistakes and makes his oponents pay. aggressive fighters like hatton would be perfect for witter. another reason why witters last few oponents did not get ko'd was because they were to scared to throw after they felt his power. after corley was rocked he did not want to take any chances at all.

i kinda see this fight going similar to the ndou fight, except hatton would get brutally ko'd as ndou if he wouldnt have broke the hand.

Sorry mate but I do not rate N'Dou, Kotelink or Corley. Hatton has beaten better fighters in my eyes.

Subtract Koletnick from that LIST it's a win on paper.. But it was an Outright Robbery and HOME town descion

[DavidPayne]

I agree with you. No question Hatton's resume far outweights Witter. However, I don't think that permits us to totally discredit Witter given the context of the division, in which precious few legitimate threats exist.

And Witter is the WBC strap holder. I guess suddenly the belts are no longer an object of affection for Hatton?

[DavidPayne]

Disagree on Kotelink, it was razor thin and I wouldn't have argued with a win for the challenger but I don't think it was a home-town decision.

Watch Martin Jacobs versus Colin Dunne for better evidence of a true home town decision.

I won't totally discredit him, however the belt he won was vacant...not sure how or why Corley was chosen...his previous 2 opponents had 63 losses!

[DavidPayne]

Don't get me wrong, Witter's belt is meaningless despite its history. But previously Hatton spoke of unification, of belts justifying contests. Now it doesn't suit him he's neglected those aspirations.

With N'Dou, M'Baye and Witter holding three belts, he's essentially buggered for obvious opponents.

Torres and Harris are probably his preferred 140 option though I suspect Spadafora, Bojado and Juan Diaz will soon join that list.

Certainly before Mosley, Mayweather or Oscar do.
