Junior Witter: "Ricky Hatton is Flirting With Disaster"

[Pugilistic™]

Oh great he's started again.

**** off Witter. "peeleft:

[egreezy]

Junior Witter never explained why he fought Timothy Bradley like a snake charmer.

Green K.

Never seen this. That sucks he should have pulled out. Boxing is mostly all mental like they say.

He looked odd against Bradley.

Whatever you think of Witter, he is completely right with what he's said. For Hatton to totally change his training team, schedule, build up etc & then going into a big fight with a brand new strategy, is risky as hell. People forget that Paulie has been a world champion at this weight & at 27 will be in peak condition.

Hatton might not even last 12 rounds. He was badly KO'd by Mayweather & was wobbled on a few occasions by Lazcano!! His confidence is low & it looks like he can't take the punches anymore, Paulie can take them. Thats why Paulie wins the fight in my opinion. He might not have explosive power but if he's smacking Hatton with that good jab all night I can see Hatton cutting & losing on points, or should that be pints.

Also, Witter beats Bradley in a re-match. He was well under-par against him in the first fight (for reasons we now know) & still only lost by split decision.

Witter on top form beats Bradley on points.

Take out the name "Witter" and insert calzaghe then look at it from that point of view..(His right), I also think it would be wrong for hatton to try and box paulie M, That would play into paulie's hands.

But i doubt Hatton is been trained to do that, He would just be more patient than normal.

Hatton can't box anyone if by box that means trading jabs at distance, I think I'd have good moments against Hatton if that's all he did, lol

He is a world class inside fighter, he can't be anything else, he has the arms of a baby raptor

Whitter the switch hitter ****ter!!

Whitter is such A D**k constantly moning about hatton. He's had one win an he's back to putting Hatton down again for he's own Publicity.

The simple fact is lots of top boxers change their trainers on a regular basis and I see no reason why this would or should affect Ricky.

[hugh grant]

Even though i think Witter is making some kind of sense. I think Witter should worry about his own butt not being beat by the likes of Bradley type guys.

But i think it is Paul Maligni who is the one who hasnt fought anyone good and he should be quiet with the insults to hatton. When Paul did fight someone good in Cotto he was swallowing blood. I would put Hatton alongside the Cottoso of this world, so i think Paul is in waiting for some more painful memories with Hatton.

Yeh I know what you mean. Like De La Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins (his trainer had a stroke so not his fault) and Amir Kahn to name a few. And they didn't start losing their greatness at all did they. No.

And this is where the confusion lies.

"LAMO Haten cant outbox noone lol he has teh no bxoing skillz raffle"

To these clowns "boxing" means jabbing from a distance and being slick, not slipping punches, feinting and countering. Unless they're talking about Bernard Hopkins in which case boxing means headbutting, holding, low blows and running around the rung...
