Why won't Hatton fight Witter???

[TopDawg]

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.

Hatton should fight Witter by the end of they year, but Hatton has just come off a loss the best fighter in the world. I would really like to see Witter-Malignaggi unify with the winner getting a fight against Hatton.

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.

Thats the thing, there is no other options at 140. There is no "what did he do..." The only better option is Malignaggi. So Hatton has to fight one or the other within the next year before people start questioning his status at 140. You can only live off the Tszyu win for so long.

A tune-up is no problem, it's what he does after. He should at least be giving Witter some consideration though. Until then I love the fight with Torres if they can do it.

I agree with this also. Nothing wrong with Ricky and Junior matching up after 1, maybe 2 more fights for each.

And maybe it would help Junior's cause to bring a scalp like Malignaggi's to the table.

Or would it? That's what people are wondering. Is there anything Junior can do to get a fight with Ricky? Ricky already told Junior he was happy to fight him, on live TV. Hasn't happened, even with Frank Warren out of the way. As yet, no real noises from the Hatton camp to indicate it will happen.


The point is, if Junior's next 1 or 2 fights keep him on course, then Hatton/Witter needs to get made in the next 12-18 months. For Junior's career, yes, he benefits greatly, but also for Ricky's rep, which would take a dent from retiring having avoided his #1 domestic challenger for years.

Hatton can make more money fighting Maliganggi. There's one good reason.

I'm really not sure that is true.
