Ricky Hatton vs Junior Witter - Has The Time Come?

[Savino]

I always wanted to see this happen but to be honest think Ricky should retire. If he fights on he will never be the same mentally after that defeat.

Hopefully he has one more fight in Manchester and signs off in style.

Either Witter, or the winner of Khan v Koltenik (sp)-esp if Khan wins, cos then its a title fight.

Roach reckons Khan beats Ricky, and he wasnt messing. Speed kills.

Witter is a straight up bum. Let Hatton have a big fight against Bradley in the UK. Its not like Hatton is done. The man still is a top fighter he just can't beat the very best.

Bradley beat Witter by split decision, one judge had Witter winning. I'd prefer to see a rematch, but Hatton vs Bradley would still be a good fight.

Ugliest fight of all time. Hatton needs to retire anyway.

why would bradley fight hatton in the u.k. ? bradleys the champ , and hatton is no longer the ring or ibo champ so why should the fight be in hattons backyard?

True, Roach has been freakishly accurate with his predictions in the last couple of fights.

I hope Hatton retires. He'll never fight again at the very highest level, so what's the point in fighting at all? It's not as if he needs the money.

It's a hard fight to call, as so much depends on what state Ricky's confidence is left in. He will need to be at his pre-Manny best to take Witter, who despite becoming the forgotten man is very dangerous. No 'excuses' as it's what happens on the night that counts and on the night it wasn't as close as the score suggests, but Witter really wasn't at his best in losing by SD to Bradley (who I rate the current best in the division, Pacquiao apart). To be honest, my money would be on Witter... I think he would just be so much hungrier for it.

Agreed, Witter wasn't at his best when he lost to Bradley, and he wasn't even in his prime when he lost to Judah, not even 20 pro fights deep challenging for a title. Both Bradley and Judah are very good boxers though. I think Bradley would give anyone in the division major trouble.

Strictly speaking it should be in the U.S. But Hatton is still a bigger draw than Bradley at the moment, even though he's now without a belt. A few fights ago Bradley was virtually unknown by the casual fan but with those good performances against Witter and Holt, he's on his way to becoming a household name.

Witter's a knob!

No he's not.


And Witter KO's Hatton.
