Witter rejected highest ever payday to fightnHatton.

[apollo creed]

hatton is a bit of a fraud when he says he wil fight witter because he never does he jus talks.

If Witter wants to **** about and make demands then Hatton has every right to shun him. Witter couldn't sell a black cat to a witch....He defo cant make demands to boxings biggest cash cow.

[hardmanbrit]

Witter is a bum.

Nobody even watches his fights.

Witter is a bum.

Nobody even watches his fights.

If he is such a bum why is he highly ranked?? (he's ranked right behind Hatton) You really need to stop it man...you clearly dont know what you're talking about.

JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHTS (140 POUNDS)



1. Ricky Hatton (43-1)


For those American fans worried that they might not be able to see Hatton's comeback fight against Juan Lazcano (37-4-1) this spring, fear not. Hatton's new promoter, Golden Boy, made a deal with Versus to televise the card live. Great news for all of us.
Next:May 24 vs. Lazcano.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Junior Witter (36-1-2)

Witter's mandatory defense against prospect Tim Bradley Jr. (21-0) will take place in Witter's native England but will be televised on a special edition of Showtime's "ShoBox." Props to Showtime for picking up a solid card that also includes the intriguing super middleweight eliminator between Carl Froch and Denis Inkin.
Next: May 10 vs. Bradley.


3. Paulie Malignaggi (24-1)

The "Magic Man" will appear on the Hatton-Lazcano undercard on Versus knowing that if he and Hatton win, they'll meet on HBO in the fall. Unfortunately, Malignaggi's fight is about as uninteresting as it gets: a contractually obligated rematch against Lovemore N'Dou, the man from whom he took the title in uncompetitive fashion last summer.
Next: May 24 vs. N'Dou.


4. Ricardo Torres (32-1)

Several fights for the Colombian power puncher have been discussed. He could defend his title against Malignaggi, Demetrius Hopkins, Mike Alvarado, Victor Ortiz, or face Kendall Holt in a rematch. You name it. They've all been mentioned. But Torres has to get in reality as far as his financial demands are concerned.
Next: TBA.


5. Kendall Holt (23-2)

In his first fight for Top Rank, Holt stunk the joint out in winning a decision against the faded Ben Tackie on Feb. 7. Insomniacs rejoice. One DVD of the fight and your problems are solved.
Next: TBA.


6. Andreas Kotelnik (29-2-1)

Give Kotelnik a lot of credit. He went to Gavin Rees' home turf in Wales and knocked him out in the 12th round to claim a title after some disappointing results in his most significant previous fights: a split decision loss to future titleholder Souleymane M'Baye in 2004; a decision loss to future titleholder Junior Witter in a 2005; and a draw with M'Baye in a 2007 title shot.
Next: TBA.


7. Vivian Harris (28-3-1)

The former titleholder's name surfaced as a possible opponent for welterweight prospect Andre Berto for a Feb. 9 fight on HBO, but the way Harris has looked lately, the network wanted no part of him. Hard to blame HBO for that one.
Next: TBA.


8. Gavin Rees (27-1)

When Rees won a title from M'Baye last summer, it was a huge surprise. When Rees lost it in his first defense via 12th-round TKO to Kotelnik on March 22 it didn't come as much of a surprise.
Next: TBA.


9. Souleymane M'Baye (36-2-1)

The former titlist was supposed to face Jose Soto on the March 8 David Haye-Enzo Maccarinelli undercard but withdrew because, according to French media reports, he'll get an opportunity to face tough Herman Ngoudjo in an eliminator.
Next: TBA.


10. Steve Forbes (33-5)

For the biggest fight of his career, a shot against Oscar De La Hoya, Forbes has already dealt with some controversy. He fired trainer Roger Mayweather and replaced him with his brother, Jeff Mayweather. It all stemmed from Floyd Mayweather not wanting his uncle Roger to train Forbes to beat De La Hoya because if Forbes wins, it would ruin Floyd's massive payday for a rematch with De La Hoya in September.
Next: May 3 vs. De La Hoya.

So why is he a bum??? He is ranked number two right behind Hatton...You must have a personal dislike for Witter to call him a bum.... He has every right to call Hatton out.

[apollo creed]

Yeah he has every right to call Hatton out ^^^

But when he's offered his highest payday to fight he should take it and shut up.

Witter is in no position to negoiate, he's #2 behind Hatton and he sell's nowhere near as many tickets.

Witters a joke, he said he'd fight for free.

I wont believe it until I see it...Why isnt the youtube video working??

[C'MONMANG']

well if thats true why not show us the contract for proof to be honest i don't believe it.

vIVIAN Harris did the SAME THING..LOL

turned down 800,000 (biggest payday)TO fight Hatton, said so HIMSELF. SAID AFTER paying his corner and taxes that it isnt a lot. then he went on to get KO'd by Muassa

[majestiC]

Who knows what the contract had within in it, Hatton has always said they will fight on there terms. Don't be so quick to judge, Hattons got in trouble for libel with Warren before. Witter by WBC rules should get 70% of the purse....
