    Witter "i'm The Best Light Welterweight In The World Right Now"

    sorry if this is a REPOST..

    Press Release: Junior Witter is looking forward to impressing a big TV audience in the next defense of his WBC light welterweight title at the Trent FM Arena, Nottingham UK on Saturday, May 10, 2008. Witter (Bradford, England) is aiming to end the undefeated record of mandatory challenger Timothy Bradley (Palm Springs, USA) in the third defense of his world title on a Hennessy Sports in show that also features WBC super middleweight mandatory challenger Carl Froch.

    After knocking out former champion Vivian Harris in his last fight in September, Witter is looking to produce another brilliant performance in front of the ITV1 (UK) and ShoBox (USA) cameras.

    He said: "It’s a great chance for me to show a wider audience what I can do, and I intend to grab that opportunity and show the world I’m the best light-welterweight in boxing right now. Some people who will have perhaps heard of me but not seen me box will get the chance to see me in action for the first time and they won’t be disappointed.”

    "Bradley is a top opponent and the better opponent the better I perform… just ask Vivian Harris. Bradley has got a great knockout ratio as his record suggests, so I expect him to be aggressive and he will come to fight, which is just how I like them.”

    "After seeing me box in front of a massive TV audience both in the UK and the States, once I do a job on Bradley even more people will be asking: why won’t Ricky Hatton fight Junior Witter?"

    Tickets can be purchased from Trent FM Arena Nottingham 24hr Ticket Hotline on 08444 124 624 or via www.nottingham-arena.com.

      WItter you arent the best in the world until you beat the best. Vivian Harris is nowhere near the best. SO you are just a bit better than Vivian because he is the level of fighter yoiu beat.

      You might be able to beat Hatton. But until you do yiou are not as good as him on paper.

        With all this you just said...Why wont Hatton prove he is the best Jr. WW....Witter is ranked #2 and has been wanting a fight with Hatton for years...So I'm failing to see why people are blasting Witter for trying to prove himself.

          Until he beats Hatton this is a truly ludicrous claim to make, to be fair to him.

            Hattons obviously the linear champion, but Witter has done enough to be considered #2. So, logically, and especially considering they both have a rivalry AND Witter has the WBC strap, they should contest to see who's best. But Ricky's always avoided that fight. Witter has a tricky style, and he's a very hurtful puncher these days also, particularly with the uppercut. He's world class. I don't think Hattons keen to fight him, because its big risk and little reward (most casual fans are unfamiliar with Junior).

            All Witter has to do is keep on winning. He'll beat Bradley, then if Ricky still isn't interested (he won't be; busy with Paulie) he should target someone like Kotelnik (who has a bit of 'villain' status in Britain after punishing Rees) or Torres. Either that or jump to welter where the big fights are. I don't know how attractive that move is, never heard much about him struggling to make 140. But the division is worryingly barren at present.

                Witter is faster than Paulie, he also hits a lot harder.

                    How can he beat someone who is running away all the time.Witter has chased Ricky for more than six years
