Hatton Camp Slams Witter Over Trash Talk

[Welter_Skelter]

Ok hatton doesnt want to give witter a payday i have an idea why dont they have a deal were the winner takes all.

DOnt get me wrong Duff.... I would like to see this fight myself...

But What I see Hatton doing is exactly What Floyd Mayweather does.. LOW RISK HIGH REWARD...

Why not..?? Hatton has a name.. Witter doesn't.. All Hatton is doing playing the game.. Like every other Boxer does.. It dont matter who has the JRWW belts.. Hatton is the man at 140/10st

Which is why he is the one being called out..

Fighters fight. Hatton needs to man up.

Witter vs Hatton would be a title fight on any network.

hell sure Witter doesn't have much of a name (market wise).. but if Hatton can fight ****ing Juan Urango on HBO .. why can't Hatton fight Witter?

if Hatton wants to stay at 140 the bottom line is he's gonna have to fight Malignaggi, Witter or Torres

sure its not going to give him a $20 Mill pay day .. but title fights are the way to go.

Just as well for us fight fans that Benn,Eubank,Watson,Bruno,Lewis,
Calzaghe,Reid,Collins,Hamed,Robinson etc etc didn't have the same pathetic attitude that Hatton has.They all bad mouthed each other but never once did one of them say "i'll never fight him because he had the audacity to disrespect me".

Witter is WBC Champ.He has one defeat in his long career,at short notice to a man who most thought was an emerging superstar at that time when Witter was a virtual novice.He has beaten many men who were either ranked in and around the top 10 at 140 when he faced them or are now top 10 ranked (Bergman,Kotelnik,Corley,Harris & N'Dou).He is the number 1 ranked Ring Challenger yet Hatton won't face him because he dared speak his mind and say that he didn't think Hatton was all that good,thought he was avoiding him and said he thought he could knock him out.Terrible eh? Unusual isn't it for a crosstown rival to say that about another fighter from the same neck of the woods? Antonio Tarver bad mouthed his Floridian rival Roy Jones a hell of a lot more than Witter has Hatton but Jones never ducked Tarver (although he probably wisehes he did but at least he had the guts to face him).

Hatton is just making excuses.He fought Mayweather even though Floyd has said far worse things about him and disrespected him more than Witter ever did,saying things like he wouldn't even be good enough as a sparring partner for him.

The truth is plain and simple - Hatton is idolised in Britain and especially the North West.Were he to lose to a fellow north west fighter his credibilty would be severely damaged amongst his own.If he were 100% confident of beating Witter he'd fight him.But he isn't.He knows Witter is a cagey,awkward,hard hitting southpaw/switch hitter who would be a potential nightmare for him.

Like i say - thank god the likes of Benn & Lewis.Never one to duck a challenge unlike a certain Mr.Hatton from Manchester whose excuses for not facing the next best Light Welter in the world are now becoming laughable.

good post raycorey, i totally agree.

[STEELHEAD]

The fight would be ****ing huge in the UK. Hatton should fight Paulie, get his Title and they both fight each other at the end of 2008 for both belts. That wold be awesome.

that would be an excelent career plan for ricky. gather some belts and retire a champ.
then open up a chain of taverns.

[porlie]

Witter's not in a position to call the shots, hes tried to make a name by digging Hatton out.

i don't no inside about the rivalry between the two over there but could this be PR for maybe hattons retirement fight after paulie being against witter?

the #1 fighter should only figh top 5 contenders period. top 10 fighters should only fight each other period. thats the way to make $. the big dogs shouldnt be in the ring with toy poddles.

truth.com for real.

Hatton ran his mouth endlessly about mayweather and even did it in front of an HBO audience, if mayweather said he wouldnt fight hatton because of this mayweather wouldnt hear the end of it.
