I dont think Hatton will ever fight Witter.
Junior Witter vs Timothy Bradley

I think its almost like being back in the Frank Warren era with Hatton atm, he is fighting a boxer with a decent record and a past champion but the key word here is PAST .... dont get me wrong Im a Hatton fan and have been ringside for many of his fights but you do get the sense he has em a bit hand picked dont ya!!!
as for Witter he has incredible power and his style is awkward as hell, Bradley has a punchers chance but no more.
If the Hatton Vs Witter fight happens within 2 or 3 fights and is perhaps a unification matchup then i'd take Hatton to win by TKO, i reckon Ricky has 3 or 4 fights left in him max before its too difficult for the body to train down to the weight and the motivation leaves him.Comment

Haven't seen Bradley before but Junior has never looked better, and his confidence is bubbling nicely. But the super-lightweight division isn't great right now, Hatton won't fight him, Paulies fighting Hatton later in the year, Witter should move up to welterweight for big fightsComment

People are kidding themselves believing Hatton will fight Witter. He's been saying he would fight witter for years and years now. He said he wanted to fight him when he was with Frank Warren. Then he said he would fight Witter when he left Frank Warren. Then Hatton said he would fight Witter once Junior won a world title. Then he said would fight Witter when the US TV networks were interested in seeing Witter showcase his talents. For the better part of ten years it has been one excuse after another. Hatton is/has been ducking Junior Witter his whole career. I'm sick of Ricky Hatton.
He fought 30+ bums to get a world title shot. Fine. Young fighters need seasoning to compete on the world level. But, once you fight Collazo, Castillo, and Mayweather, you don't go back to fighting Lazcano. Lazcano isn't ranked in the top 15 of the WBA, WBO, or IBF and isn't ranked in the top 40 of the WBC. He's only ranked as a top 10 fighter by Ring Magazine probably because he's promoted by Golden Boy promotions (The owner of the magazine).Comment

im a big witter fan but i think witters days may be numbered. i have been re-watching his fights and even tho his last fight was prob 1 of his most impressive, i saw signs of him slowing down.Haven't seen Bradley before but Junior has never looked better, and his confidence is bubbling nicely. But the super-lightweight division isn't great right now, Hatton won't fight him, Paulies fighting Hatton later in the year, Witter should move up to welterweight for big fightsComment

Had the pleasure of covering a couple of Bradley's fights. He's an excellent prospect - prospect being the operative word. Two years from now he could be a champ; save for one fight (a VERY disturbing performance against Jaime Rangel), he's looked spectacular.
Nevertheless, this may be a case of too much too soon for him.Comment
