    Too many bum to even attempt to list on here while he was the WBU champ, Hatton never fought anyone ranked to get him into the position of challenging Tsyzu, I was a fan of Hatton who followed him but the moment i knew the guy wouldnt fight his main domestic rival i lost interest in him.

    His ranking was brought by Frank warren while Witter had to fight and go through the Really route of winning the lonsdale belt, British,Commonwealth and European titles, Trying to convinces us that Witter isnt deserving of a shot at hatton is just isnt right IMHO.
    Hatton was fighting guys like Tackie and Phillips who operated at world level without ever being world class themselves so it was clear what he was building up to. You can try and convince yourself that the European fighters, who are presumably not bums but the cream of the crop held back by their country of origin, were of a higher standard than Hatton's opponents but anyone who knows anything about that circuit will recognise that as a lie.

    I'm sure in years to come that when they look back on their careers that Hatton will look at Witter's with envy that he didn't go the "traditional route" and conversely I'm sure Witter will be glad he went the traditional way and won't in any way envy Hatton's fights with names like Tszyu, Castillo and Mayweather.

      Top of the list, is that Floyd Mayweather -- after passing through 5 weight classes and beating many of the best along the way -- has no obligation to fight Miguel Cotto or anyone else at Welterweight. He has done what he said he would do. His stated objective never was to clean out the welter division.
      At this stage, Floyd is well within his prerogative to step back.

      Actually, so is Ricky. But he has declared his desire to continue to dominate in the weight class he is famed for reigning over. That means fighting the main challengers to his supremacy. Malignaggi, Torres and, yes, Junior Witter.

              Am not on here to compare who they both fought at what time...Have made my points and you have made yours, I dont agree with your and you dont agree with mine.

              I would maintain these hatton never fought any Ranked fighter for him to get to a position to challenge Tsyzu his ranking was brought for him by Warren.

                What has Witter done to deserva a shot at Hatton? Beating an old man Corley? Hatton just came off of a loss to the p4p best fighter in the world, I don't see nothing wrong with taking a tune-up.

                  Yeah Witter is ****ting his pants off a shot Castillo. You make good sense, excellent post!

                  Witter called out Malignaggi to fight and since then Paulie's camp had nothing to say about Witter, Paulie mentioned in an interview as well Witter is a very dangerous fighter and the biggest threat at 140.

                    I definitely agree with the bold part, What i dont agree with people saying he doesnt deserve to fight Hatton..WHY? I agree Hatton would need a tune up because Witter is a dangerous opponent at this stage but i dont understand why people dont want to admit that Witter is a dangerous opponent at this stage especially after Hatton's KO loss recently.

                      There was NO point in replying to an idiotic post like that, You would know when Hatton fanboys are desperate to discredit Witter.
