    You suck dude, Hatton would smash him into pieces.
    Even if Hatton on national TV said "I'm ducking Witter, mate".. He'd still beat him if they ever got it on.

      It would prove a lot if Hatton were to beat Witter in my opinion.

      Not only would Hatton smash the number 2 ranked LWW but he would also stop all the talking from Witter and his critics.
      Defo.

      I think Hatton would be a massive favourite. Not just because he is the media darling but he is just better than Witter.

      Witter has the workrate of a Cruiserweight Chris Eubank.

        Hatton must hear of all the grief he gets for not fighting him!! BUT at the end of the day the majority of people who watch hatton probably havnt even heard of junior witter. Thats why witter cant sell out a leisure centre in his hometown.

          I think Witter would be well prepared for this one so we might see improved workrate on his part.
          It would be a shame if he did not come to fight after all the talking he has done.

          Hatton would have to improve his defensive movements because simply bullrushing inside like he did against Mayweather would not work very well against an unorthodox counter puncher with power.
          That's probably what Witter is banking on, landing that one left hook on Hatton's chin when Ricky tries to get inside.

            Exactly.

            It's obvious why Hatton doesn't want the fight - the risk is too high for the rewards. Sadly our Ricky seems to have taken the road of least resistance. The funny thing is I reckon he'd knock Witter out of his stride and possibly stop him in the middle rounds.

                I actually think most boxing fans real ones...would make Ricky an overwhelming favourite.

                Hatton's being an arse.

                  Not a doubt in my mind Hatton will fight Witter before it's all over, Possibly as his farewell fight if Mayweather won't give him a rematch.. Either way I hope to god Hatton blasts Witter, I don't just want a victory i'd like a stoppage. Best part is it will probably be free here in the states.

                    I really don’t get it, It seems like a great grudge match. They really do hate each other that would make for a great build up to the fight the press conference’s would be funny imo and draw in more interest. The fight would also be an interesting clash of style's Witter a switch hitter with power in both hands against Hatton the come forward brawl fighter. It would seem the logical choice for both as there next fight after Hatton has a warm up.

                    Paul Malignaggi is possibly Hatton's next opponent I don’t know why people have been going on about Paul Malignaggi being more popular but popularity should have nothing to do with selecting an opponent should Patterson have never given Liston a chance because he was unpopular. Hatton has stated that Witter has disrespect him another thing I don’t understand. If you hate someone I would have thought you would want to get him in the ring and beat him up bad. Hatton has also stated that he doesn’t want to give him a payday ok Witter has stated he will fight him for free. Hatton has also said that he would make more money against Malignaggi which I don’t really believe, Hatton Witter would sell very well on PPV over here I think it would do better than a fight against Malignaggi.

                    I have heard a lot of Hatton fans claim that Witter has not earned his right to fight Hatton. In truth Malignaggi has not done anything more than Witter and imo has done less that Witter. Witter is also criticised for being boring. Witter has had some dull fights like the Judah one and the Lynes fight, but he has had his fair share of good fights and had a run of 15 straight KO’s.

                    The problem Hatton has got is fairly simple its a very very risky fight, If Hatton losses to Witter his image as being best of British is destroyed and his career would probably be over, Despite what people say Witter's style would be a bad matchup for Hatton's style, The Hatton camp know this and will try and avoid the fight as much as possible. I cant see that Hatton is scared of Witter, Hatton is smart enough to know that it would be a hard fight and as long as he can still draw in big money wont bother to fight Witter. I can understand Hatton trying to get a second fight with Floyd because of the £££££££££.

                    I know some Hatton fans don’t want this fight to happen but I would be 100% sure they would all watch it on TV, You cant really make me believe you wouldn’t pay good money to see this fight I know I would and any real boxing fan wants this fight to happen. If he doesn’t fight Witter soon there will always be doubts in some people’s mind.

                    Please feel free to give me hate for this post.
                    Obbession is a mental Illness.. Witter needs Help..

                      The fan aspect has muddied things up. For Boxing observers in other parts of the world we count on the regional followers to let us know certain things.

                      Before Hatton took his first L there was nothing but Witter hate for the most part. Things seem to have changed a tiny bit in Junior's favor.

                      Initially, I thought Witter was garbage and there was no way he could hang with Hatton, because of all what we get from the UK fans.
