    Anyway, The one thing that has annoyed me about Hatton recently is his comments regarding Witter. Despite what some think, Witter would be the biggest fight right now for Hatton. Witter is deserving of it to. He has beaten some good opposition in Vivian Harris, N'Dou, Corley, Lynes, Kotelnik and only has one loss very early against the unbeaten Zab Judah.

    But, and this is what annoys me about Hatton, Witter has the WBC belt so it would be a big double Brit unification title fight. Witter has been calling out Hatton for a while now, much the same as Hatton was doing to Mayweather when he was calling Mayweather boring, no fans etc etc. Now, Hatton is saying that "if you keep insulting me publicly, you'll never get a shot at my title" ??? What in god's name is the deal with that?!?!

    So he goes around calling out Mayweather, publicly bagging him and insulting him and yet when someone who deserves a shot at him more than he deserved a shot at Mayweather does the same thing he backs down under this pathetic excuse of "You can't call me names"?

    This would be the biggest fight that Hatton could make right now. They're both from the same country and both have legitimate titles and Witter is the number one contender. The done thing in boxing to try and initially promote a fight is to call out the fighter as Witter is doing and as Hatton has done so why is using the excuse "If you keep calling me names, I won't give you a title shot"? It's really pretty ****ing pathetic. I remember him saying something about if Mayweather kept ducking him that meant he was a coward and that as the mandatory and number one contender Tszyu had to give him a shot. Now he's playing this hypocritical weak game and not giving the most deserving fighter the chance.

              Hatton will fight Witter next year if Junior can pick up another belt and Hatton is victorious in his tune up and showdown with Malinaggi at the end of the year.

              If Witter really wanted to fight Hatton he would be trying to unify. If he unified JWW he would have forced a fight with Ricky. Junior just looks like he's desperately trying to get a payday off the success of Hatton, that he cant earn on his own.

              Hatton beats Witter by not fighting him until he earns it, then he beats him in the ring and the excuses will start. Hatton was able to draw more fans to one of his fights overseas then Witter has drawn at home his entire career combined. That's why so many people are envious of him. Malinaggi said he wishes he had the kind of support Hatton has. Ricky Hatton has earned it by fighting seven Champions in a row and three were top ten P4P fighters.

                i think witter would finish paulie off, he's too strong and speed mathes that of paulie.

                paulie gets ktfo if this comes off.

                  If witter beats hopkins he should fight paulie that would force hatton to fight him or retire.

I think Paulie can win as well, but a lot of it just depends on if the ref allows holding, if Cotto couldnt put Paulie out no chance Ricky does.
                      Kostya is a harder puncher then Torres so......
