    Dont misunderstand me, I like Hatton and I feel he could beat anyone at 140 lbs, but apparantly Hatton does'nt believe in himself, even he thinks Witter could beat him, I mean there is a guy calling you out since 2000, thats 8 years, and calling you out after every post-fight interview on your face.

    I mean Hatton faced Urango, Collazo, Maussa, Oliveira, Tackie, Phillips and some other guys when he could have faced Witter.

Witter is prick because listen to him commontate on a fight on Radio Sheffield "Yeah...Clinton is doing really well in this fight, he hit really hard there - just like how i hit, because i'm the best fighter in my division on the planet, have i said that yet already?" "Yes, Junior...you've said it 13 times already and its the first round."

      As for Hatton ducking people, don't be ridiculous. Of cause Hatton has fought a few cans.

      Whose Witter fought by the way??

      I dont know him personally so i wouldnt judge him on that aspect, Witter has fought people Zab Judah,Lovemore Ndou,Demarcus corley,Vivian Harris, Colin lynes(British rival)..Andrea Kotenik etc

        Kotenik btw is the olympic medalist with a very impressive history. On Paper it may look Hatton has beaten the better opposition, WHICH I COMPLETELY AGREE on, But not by as much as some people think as Kostya and Castillo werent in their respective primes.

          Hardly Tszyu, Castillo or Mayweather is it.

          Now do you see how ridiculous your argument is.

          I'm sure Hatton thought in his head "**** Witter... he's to much for me to handle...erm..erm.. i'll take Castillo, yeah..thats the safer option".

          Listen, i know that Jr has called him out for years - maybe your right, maybe he is ducking him. But what i'm saying is - he's ducking Jr because the money isn't there, the prospect of career/fame rising isn't there....plus he doesn't want to give Jr a payday...because i genuinely think they dislike each other - and by giving Jr that payday, its giving him a reward for his ****ish behaivour over the past 8 years. Its giving Witter what he wants, he will have won that battle.

            You could make a case for Hatton taking a tuneup in say, March, whilst witter and Malignaggi duke it out for the no.1 contender spot and a shot at Hatton in around July.
            If boxing was controlled better, that was what would naturally happen.

            Also, I'ma bit annoyed that Hatton is still undisputed LWW champion when he has fought one top contender (which itself was debatable) since beating Tszyu.

            Yes Hatton should fight a tune up in march or april, Witter and Paulie M fight it out for a Show down in the summer.

            Am annoyed as well that hatton is the LWW champion without actually defending his title against any real threat at 140.

              I'm not sure Harris had a prime. After all he got destroyed by Carlos Maussa. That's "Carlos Maussa".

                Was the money there in fighting Ben Tackie, Carlos Maussa, Juan Urango, Luis Collazo, Phillips, Oliveria, etc...Witter has been calling Hatton since 8 years and now he actually has the WBC Belt, is the #1 Contender at 140, Beaten N'dou, Corley and Harris.

                Hatton is the champion and Witter is his #1 Contender, Both are British and it would be a very big fight, there is no reason for it not to happen. Witter even went as far as to say if you think its all about the money lets sign the contracts on Winner takes all.

                    they are all good fighters, ndou, corley and harris are better than the **** hatton was facing pre-tzsyu, witter is deserving of a fight with hatton, if anything it should be is ricky deserving of a wbc title shot after getting his arse ktfo, i mean whats malignaggi done to deserve a hatton fight that witter hasnt? apart from being smashed to pieces by cotto!

                      What a aged tsyzu, A really really shot castillo and yeah Mayweather. What so ridiculous in that argument? And what argument anyway?

                      You telling me maybe the money wasnt there, but the money was there for him to fight Utango and maussa? Please enough with the "He doesnt want to give Witter a payday because that Makes Hatton look like a Prick.

                      The battle is finding out who the best is the U.K..This is about boxing Not a popularity contest. Hatton is the champ at 140 and Witter is the number one contender.
