    Witter HBO fight cancelled

    HBO rejected opponents bailey, ndou, urango and ngoudou. they should have let the ngoudou fight go ahead. who is else is available to fight?

    this is a damn shame. witter will now fight in May.

          it is because witter has not made a name for himself. had he made his name it would not matter who he fought because hbo would still be making money even if he fought a card board box.

            Hard to make a name for yourself when no one wants to fight you.

            Someone from the LWW class should step up and fight Witter, whether it's Ricky, Malignaggi, Torres or D-Hop.

            Same thing happened to Hagler and McCallum back in the 80's and 70's, they were too skilled and unorthodox yet not big enough names for the champions to fight. Too much risk, not enough reward you could say.

            Eventually they got the big fights and money, hopefully Witter does as well.

              nah, i don't accept that. thats a bull**** excuse! everyone is in control of their destiny, and they make it what it is! i only can blame witter. in the end he is the one to answer for his shortcomings. had he good drawing potential people would be tripping over each other to fight him, and earn a good payday. if the money sucks, why fight him? we all know this day and age all these guys care about is the $$$$!

                Bailey keeps feasting on prospects, N'Dou has fought Witter before in a bore fest, urango, Hatton's left overs, Ngoudjo; Malignaggi's cast offs. it's no surprise HBO are reticent.
