He was one of Hattons many warm ups who was a domestic level fighter. I just want to see him do well and the key to a successful career is to be appreciated World Wide in my opinion and Hatton seems to be losing respect World Wide and it annoys me because he has got potential.
      Me too, i think he's getting a little pissed off with way things are going too.

      If Hatton doesnt get a shot a the IBF after beating Stewart i'll be be very pissed, but as long as the Stewart fight was a final eliminator like they said its ok.

      I do think Stewart could beat most of our British level fighters, he's better than Stephen Smith, Alan Bosworth and probably better than Colin Lynes and Ted Bami. So i consider him abit better than british level. He had and needed good defence against Hatton and did back Mitchell up!

        I hope Hatton does get a shot because he definatly deserves one by now.

        I have never really rated Stewart, perhaps we should put him in the ring with Junior Witter to find out if he is a contnder or not. As far as the British rankings go Stewart may have a respectable name but that doesn't say alot for the rest of the bunch. To his credit he did display a good heart in the Sharmba Mitchell fight. Perhaps i'm been a harsh judge as i haven't seen alot of the other British Welterweight talent.

          The british light welter scene is poor, Witter and Hatton are the only two who can fight.

          I really want Witter to fight a guy who's taken Hatton some rounds like Stewart, Krivolapov and Magee, Maybe even Phillips but only as long as he takes a many steroids against Witter as he did Against Hatton so we can make a fair judgement.

            Hasn't Witter already faced any opponents Hatton has? The thing that gets me concerned with Witter is his style, he looks alot more flashier than Hatton but with a lower guard could be made to pay although he has got a semi good chin. The ultimate showdown for me would be Witter-Hatton at this moment in time but i read the that it may never happen.

              Yeah, the only one i can think of is Giuseppe Lauri and Witter did it faster, i didnt see Hatton KO him but Giuseppe Lauri was terrible against Witter, he wouldnt throw a punch and backed up on the ropes too easily, he came to lose. Hatton fought Lauri about 4 year ealier too, Witter was prime when he whipped him.

              The only flaws in Hattons defence is his Low left and he leave himself a little off balance throwing the left body shot. Witter doesnt throw straight rights and doesnt return fire under pressure. Hattons defence wont let him down against Witter.

              I worried a little about Harris because he has a good straight right which could take advantage of Hatton low left, but other than that it was a good fight for Hatton.

                I haven't seen Vivian Harris fight before so the only things i was going by to the build up of Hattons supposed fight with him was on paper. To be honest i have never really seen Hattons low left as a problem in any of his fights. Nobodys defense is perfect and i think Hatton has got it working well. I think Witter would fight Hatton differently as there has been alot of talk about who is the best between these two. I think if they did fight pride would take over which makes the fight slightly more unpredictable in my opinion.

                  I agree Witter has a lot to prove and that will help, but Hatton wants to beat Witter up so badly!! its a little unpredictable but i'm still think Hatton by KO in the 4th.

                  Are you Maxboxing.com member?? If you fight you should be, its generally worst than Boxingscence but the video files are brilliant.

                  They have a new thing called gym wars, Harris is sparring on there against a light middle.

                    I suppose if either fighter is going to win by stoppage then i guess my money would be on Hatton but i still wouldn't discount Witter. I guess it all depends to how Witter copes with Hattons power.

                    Yeah i'm a member, Max Boxing is a great site for training clips and interviews. When i saw Danny Williams training for the Tyson fight on their i thought he looked very impressive. It's handy to be able to see clips like that. I'll check out the Harris fight in gym wars.

                      That Williams clip was the main reason i bet on him to beat Tyson, i made the money i paid in membership back anayway!!

                      Tell me if you think Harris could beat any of the top fighters after watching it.
