Witter: "Forget Money, I'll Kick Hatton's Ass"

[majestiC]

The cotto situation is completely different if you can't see that then thats your problem. My reference was to that fact that witter is in a tough situation now because he didn't do enough early in his career, why was he not a world champ before hatton? Hatton beat tszyu when he was 26 and witter was 31 and still hadn't won a world title. Why was he busy calling hatton out when hatton was 21 and british champ, when witter was 26 and shouldv been looking at the world scene not a prospect still learning.

Don't get me wrong the fight should happen, but not after hatton has just come off a loss he would be mad to jump straight into the witter fight. His immediate plan is to fight at madison square garden which is a malignaggi fight not witter, who i think is stylistically just as hard as witter

Hatton was hardly a prospect, Warren was milking his cash cow fighting past it fighters like Phillips, Tackie....

When he was british champ he was 21, read the thread properly. When he fought vince phillips he was 22-23 still pretty young, and sharmba mitchell had fought phillips the fight before, who was considered the number 1 as tszyu was injured at the time. Ben tackie was considered the gatekeeper of the division at the time so it was a good fight to take, although after the tackie fight il admit warren starting going back to his old tricks.

Your point is irrelevant anyway as the fighters hatton was fighting at that time were still way above the level witter was fighting at

Witter has faced N'dou, Chorley, Kotelnik, Harris. Now tell me whats the difference between those fighters who have held world belts before and the level that Hatton has been facing recently (other than Tszyu, Mayweather). There isn't any, I can't believe we have two light welterweight champions no1 and 2 in the division from England and one refuses to fight the other ****ing crazy!

Learn to understand boxing mate, Witter started boxing at age 23..and was a british,Commonwealth and european champion while Hatton was busy on the WBU route, So age shouldnt come into it...Hatton fought for the british title once against light weight Jon thaxton..Witter did more in his early career than Hatton did in his early career..My comaprism of the Cotto/Mayweather situation to Witter/Hatton is the refuser of the supposely THE MAN at there respective weight refusing to even contemplate fighting there number one contender...I dont expect Hatton to fight Witter after justing losing to PBF but i also dont expect to hear dumb excuses about why Witter shouldnt call Hatton out..like his is some god or something.

There is really something terribly wrong here, I still dont understand it..Had it being the other way round i could have just imagine the outcry.

First of all I do understand boxing, and witter went pro at age 23 he started boxing when he was 10, brendan ingle delayed his progress into the pros cos he joined the ingle gym as a teenager and hadn't perfected the style. If witter did more in his early career why did he draw two of his early fights, once against mark ramsay who hatton beat on a shut out twice. Witter didn't win the european till 2004, against a bum. Even if phillips, tackie, oliviera were past it they were still better than what witter was facing at the time. Witter has only faced good competition since ndou in 2005, and has definitely beaten good fighters since then there is no denying that, although kotelnik, and ndou and lynes performances were hardly impressive

We could go round and round in circles here but i will not, Style makes fight and him struggling to beat Ramsay and Hatton knocking him out doesnt mean Hatton would wipe the floor with Witter, Witter also KO Lauri in 2 rounds while it took Hatton 5 rounds!!! Witter fought and beat the number of contender on the european stage the same fighter Oktay Urkal struggled with for 12 rounds Witter KO him in 2 rounds..I could make a case of calling 85% of Hattons opposition bums but i wouldnt because both him and Witter has similar records.

[-Mustang-]

They Need to go ahead and set this fight up.... witter is just going to keep calling out Hatton through the Media, but his trash talking isn't going to help him out any in the ring, Hatton will win

Its not even about Witter calling out Hatton, Its the only thing the Media here in the UK want to talk about..They ask Hatton the same question all the time..He knows he cant avoid those questions unless he tells his PR guy to tell them to stop asking him those question about When his he going to fight Witter, Vice -versa Witter he would never be able to shake off the hatton question that isnt is fault..Its just that most people wanted the fight for 8 years and counting now and the more they wait the more they ask those questions.

Neither hatton or witter have faced urkal? anyway i do agree they have similar records, and agree with most of your points, and i think you would agree hatton would be ****** to take the fight straight after a loss. So maybe it will happen. You and me both know the history of both fighters so i respect your opinion, but I hate people who have just jumped on the band wagon especially the americans who have a vendetta against hatton and now just say hatton has been avoiding witter for years and aren't aware that witter had to rebuild after his loss to judah etc. Id like to see him fight witter after mallignaggi if they both stay undefeated obviously and it would probably be the time when the fight is most lucrative for both
