Witter can clean out the division but Paulie M is the one guy i think would be able to compete with him, The main problem about Witter is his stamina...He seem gassed after 9 or 10 rounds.
Could Junior Witter clean out the divison?

I must have missed the fights where Witter has shown himself to be World class.
If you take away the Belt he'd have nothing to offer.
Even with the belt what does he have?
He has a tendency to fall asleep after 5-6 rounds if he can't put guys away as well.
As someone has already said he has no real fan base either because he is not very entertaining.
He has been flattered with his win over Harris.
He also struggled with Lynes and Kotelnik who are Euro level at best.
Not the way to go if you want to start calling out the top dogs.Comment

yeah he actually can, if you write all the names on paper with pencil, and have witter erase them, lmaoIMO Junior Witter is one of the most underrated fighters today, and he hardly gets any press unless Hatton's name comes up. A very great technical fighter, with good power, along with sharp crisp counter punching. I don't see any fighter at 140 or below beating him. Here is some fighters that could POSSIBLY beat him.
Paulie Malignaggi - A very slick fighter, although I don't like him, I do appreciate his skills. Not a power puncher but his very accurate with his punches and has show improvement after his beating from Cotto. I see this as a 70-30 matchup in Witter's favor. There both similar in that they prefer defense instead of offense, but Witter is the better counter-puncher, and has more power, along with experience.
Ricardo Torres - A big puncher, with decent skills, also a fighter who lost to Cotto. His power and aggressive style might pose problems for Witter.
Manny Pacquiao - Not a big junior welterweight, but his power along with his long arms could pose problems for Witter as well.
There is also good fighters out there as well such as Gavin Rees and Andreas Kotelnik. If Junior Witter cleans out the division or at least beats most of the top fighters I think it would do well for his legacy.Comment

its is true about the division, but i think witter is consistent enough in general to beat paulie on any given night.Witter can and will beat Hatton.
Hatton has a very good chance of beating Malignaggi if Paulie fights the wrong fight. PM doesn't have the pop that Mayweather does to hurt and wear down Ricky. But I can easily see PM giving Ricky a 12 round boxing lesson with elusiveness, speed and accurate volume punching. Oh, and that jab.
Paulie should beat Witter.
The division is very interesting because on any given night, any of the top guys can beat any of the others.
Throw in another layer of complexity if Zab was smart and went back to 140.Comment

Come on now, I don't think of it that way, I'm just saying it as potential match ups in the future. I don't know who Witter is going to fight next, but he needs to start scheduling fights. I really hope he gets a fight with Malignaggi.yeah he actually can, if you write all the names on paper with pencil, and have witter erase them, lmaoLast edited by Boxingwizard; 01-05-2008, 01:50 PM.Comment
