    How you figure that? Deffense, power, speed, what coz I don't see it. There's a reason why Graham never wanted the Collazo fight in the first place, and I'm pretty convinced its the same reason why they don't want the Witter fight.

      Billy Graham would take anyone to make cash for him and put Hatton in the spotlight. Graham never dodged the Maussa scrap, whoever fed you that **** needs looking at.

      Hatton is quicker, more ring clever, more savvy, more balls, much more experienced than Witter. Who has Witter boxed? Harris, Solemanye, anyone else? That's why he's defending his WBC title at Doncaster Dome instead of Thomas and Mack in Las Vegas, NV, or places like that, in case you didn't know where Ricky Hatton boxes...and against world champs like, er, Floyd Mayweather

        I still think Hatton will maul Witter, if ever they meet. And Witter doesn't have that big a name or a serious big name on his resume that would make any non British fight fans want to see this match. If it happens, it'd have to be in the U.K and on sky sports because no American fight fan really knows much, if at all, about Witter.

          the difference between collazo and witter though is that collazo is a lot taller and is probably a light middleweight.
          Ricky would have a few problems with Juniors swtich hitting but hes not that quick really and would not get away from Hatton, plus Junior has not fought anyone with as much power as Ricky

            I disagree, Hitter counters quickly and effectively, very quick stepping back and firing hooks and upper cuts. Hatton is all about running in, throwing two shots and holding. I see Witter switching and making it a long night for Hatton.

              dont mean to be funny mate but Hattons not just about running in, htrowing 2 shots and holding. U don't win 43 fights if thats ALL u can do

                LOL at you comparing the risk between fighting Maussa and Witter, Graham didn't want the Collazo fight and he didn't want the Witter fight, he knows his man and his limitations, why do you think he wanted Cotto at 140 and not at 147?
                Hatton might be slightly quicker and have better stamina but Witter is more explosive, steps back and blasts you as you're coming in, particularly if you come in as wreckless as Hatton does. Witter's competition hasn't been the best, his career hasn't been as well promoted as Hatton's but by no means should this affect the outcome of their fight. Please, lets not talk about the Zoo, Castillo and for that matter Collazo fights, we all know the circumstances sorrounding those. And finally, we all know who PBF picks on, again, that only tells us he's more popular and that PBF thinks Hatton will be an easy fight for him.

                  You're right, but when you see his first 35 or so fights and see his last 8, you see a totally different fighter. Different skill levels.

                    I've seen every fight of both fighters, witter would not be able to take Hattons power, neither will pbf for that matter imo

                      Anyone who thinks that Witter has a chance in the ring with Hatton needs their head looking at. Witter is a pretty good boxer and had a very good performance againt Harris, but he is in no way in the same league as Hatton. I do hope that the fight does happen one day though as I want Witter's big mouth to be shut.
