Witter is pissed...

[Hurlex]

11.17.04 - Junior Witter has responded with indignation to suggestions that Floyd Mayweather Junior will face Lovemore N'dou, Stevie Johnston or Muhamat Abdulaev on his upcoming HBO date. “Floyd is letting himself down by considering opponents of this calibre,” began Junior.

“I don’t like to say I told you so, but I predicted he might when, earlier this month, I offered to step up and face him on January 22nd. He is also letting down fight fans and HBO; I am surprised they are even considering showing him against one of these three.

“Lovemore N’dou is nothing but a solid yet limited loser; he has been beaten in two of his last five fights.

“Stevie Johnston is a blown up lightweight who hasn’t fought for a year since he got put down three times and stopped.

“And as for Muhamat Abdulaev, well you can go to sleep on his record it is so padded. Plus Emmanuel Clottey knocked him out four fights ago.

“I am just not sure how someone who considers himself one of the best pound for pound even thinks about fights like this.

“Especially when I have thrown my hat in the ring.”

Witter added: “It seems that Floyd has suddenly turned a bit shy. I know for a fact he heard my challenge to him, but it seems he is even scared to look in my direction.

“It’s obvious to me that he doesn’t want to risk a big pay-day against Gatti by getting in the ring with a European champion who has taken out his last fifteen opponents.

“He knows I can knock him out.

“But that isn’t the mark of a true champion, it’s the mark of someone who doubts their own ability.”

Dude Jr witter has a worse padded record than Hatton. The only time he steped up (Zab)he got his azzhanded to him badly. He's a ***in joke!

[Deejay]

Yeah, I saw that fight...Zab crushed him in 4 I think. Gees I hate loudmouths, Floyd would eat this guy alive, with one hand tied behind his back, blindfolded,on one leg throwing just his jab...HAHAHAHA!!!

[WillieW]

Witter has always been a loudmouth. He does have skills, but he has never let down the Juda beating. He needs to come to the States and work his way up. He has done nothing but beat up European nobodies since the Juda fight.

With that said....he is right about Mayweather. These opponents are not worthy of a pound 4 pounder. They would be better suited for a guy like.......Witter.

ignorant Im afraid..
He took the fight at 7 days notice and gave Judah all the trouble he could handle fo 3 -4 rounds.
He then went on his bike and was outpointed.
he has sparked 15 oppoenents straight is ranked 3 by the WBC and is European champ.
He hasnt been fiully tested but would give floyd a decent fight. He is dangerous, and pwerful and also chairman of the "who needs him club".

Do yur research guys b4 slating a fighter.
He would give mayweather a better fight than any of the three mentioned.

JPW, good to see that your keeping the integrity of the british in tact, I see you have got your facts spot on about Witter, however I have to say I do believe that Mayweather would eat him alive but certainly no worse than the origional sugestions. To be honest I have Witter about 8-12 in the division but I would really like to see him in with somebody half good even, you can't deny that he has been beating up real bums for some time now, they complain that Hatton fights has-beens and average opponents but he makes Hatton's opponrents look like world beaters

[J !]

thanks mate.
I just am not convinced by Mayweather at light welter yet.
I think if witter can walk through floyds shots and he gets to him he could cause him some problems. Floyd while being a master boxer doesnt **** hard enough at light welter imo and might find it difficult with a seasoned heavy hitting light welter like witter.
I admit the euro fighters he has been beating lately are not that fantastic but he has to defend his title, he is outclasisng some reasonble fighters in 2 rounds, not top notch opponenets but reasonable.
I think he needs a big test.
Floyds is a real class operator dont get me wrong I just dont think he is ready for the divisions elite on the basis he outpointed a slow and distinctly average de marcus corley.

witter would be a good test in my opinion.

And hatton bashes witter inside 6. Doesnt mean to say Hatton would beat floyd, it just means that Witter has pissed hatton off so much he would be spitting feathers should he finally get to Junior!

[markosg19]

i too believe that witter is a pretty good fighter that can pose problems to all light-welters. But lets face it, at least Hatton has beaten the Ben Tackies and the Vince Phillips' of this world. Witter hasn't beaten anyone even approaching the top 20. so who does he think he is calling out Mayweather.

[jabsRstiff]

I don't care what Junior Witter can do in the ring.

All I know is that he had a title shot, & ran like a thief during most of the fight.
This puts a huge question mark on him.....What kind of real fighter does what he did ?
