Ricky Hatton Talks Junior Witter, De La Hoya

[Jim Jeffries]

I know what you mean.

LMAO @ people who think Hatton is scared of Witter.

Hatton fights Floyd Mayweather, Kostya Tszyu, Jose Luis Castillo.

He fights much bigger and stronger (than him) southpaws Luis Collazo and Juan Jurango.

But he's scared of Junior Witter.

Most of the Hatton fanboys dont know this mate, They all just followed and jump unto the bandwagon when things were going well for Hatton...Witter called out Hatton when Hatton wasnt a payday, He just wanted to prove that he was better than Hatton...so all this "payday" excuse from Hatton and his disciples is just BS.

Witter deserves a fight NOW but not 7 years ago

[big paulie]

You mean the Vivian Harris that had been knocked out 2 years earlier by Carlos Maussa (a guy that people ridiculed Hatton for fighting and beating)?

yeah the same Carlos Maussa that sliced Hatton to bits

Hahahahaha did you whatch the fight?

[big paulie]

Hahahahaha did you whatch the fight?

Yeah Hatton got sliced up by a d-class fighter before taking the guy out with one of those hayemakers Mayweather saw coming all night, i digress....if it was Hatton who ko'd Harris you would be singing his praises

[badnewsbrown]

harris would probably knock out hatton

i could def see that. imo he would beat hatton as well as pualie. outside of witter i think harris may actually be the best out there.

I was impressed with witters ko of Harris but to say Hatton got sliced up by Maussa is silly, How many rounds did you give Maussa?

Witter deserves a fight NOW but not 7 years ago

My point was 7 years ago both were prospects, Witter wanted to prove that he was better than Hatton but Frank warren didnt want to risk Hatton because Witter was very dangerous, Had power and was very awkward...Warren gave Witter a Zab judah fight on a 9 days notice...something he would have never done in a million years with Hatton...He knew he could market hatton better to the general public in the UK because of the "Working class" BS he splits out at every opportunity....Hatton going after Tsyzu and Mayweather are brilliant business decisions..He knew if he loses nobody would say anything...and if he wins then he is the best thing since slice bread..but if he fights and doesnt beat Witter he knows his career would be put to shame..Thats what Hatton is scared of....Because he fought Tsyzu and Mayweather doesnt prove a thing doesnt mean he isnt scared to take on Witter.

But what i am saying is Hatton has always been far ahead of Witter in terms
of rankings the witter fight would have been a step back for Hatton. Now Witter is champ and earnt the right for a fight they should fight.

[letsgobrady]

hatton was losing on the scorecards to maussa before he knocked him out and harris was winning the fight against maussa before he got knocked out
