    whoever said khan hits harder than witter has obviously not seen many witter fights.
    Actually watch Witter v Ndou, he nearly knocked ndou the fk out except he broke a bone in his arm. He did however knock ndou down, something not even Cotto managed to do.

    Secondly Hatton DID duck witter, he once claimed in an interview when he re-newed his contract with frank warren that part of the deal to re-new was that he gets witter within the next three fights. He then promised the fans that he'd fight witter just to shut him up never mind whats at stake...Did he fight him within 3 fights?no..after that he used the excuse that witter had nothin to offer.

    Once witter won the WBC title which was in september 2006, in january 2007Hatton opted to fight juan urango for the IBF title instead of Witter for the Wbc, why?because Urango is a bigger name?

    He again had the chance to face witter after he lost to Mayweather but instead went for Lazcano.

    Those are both instances when hatton could have fought witter for the WBC title but instead went for lesser opponents.

    So the "Hatton went onto bigger better things excuse is B*ll*ckz

          Junior Witter's big problem is that he draws very small crowds. Even when he boxed near his home town (in Yorkshire, I think) he could not sell the huge amount of tickets that Hatton and Khan have done.

          A dangerous fight with little financial reward is a fight that doesn't get made...

            I'm from where Witters from and his support here is not massive at all. He fought at a local dome venue and only sold around 3k tickets, the venue didn't even sell out. He ain't a draw at all, make no mistakes

              So all the bums Hatton fought on the WBU had more fans than Witter??? And i meant all the bums that were all shipped over from different part of the world for Hatton to feast on back in the days???

              Hatton ducked Witter period, Yes he fought Mayweather/pacman but then who wouldnt??? He can say he only lost to the best which is the perfect excuse....He said he had Witter's name in his contract with Warren but what happen???

                    I KNEWW this would happen and would hope it does. Khan and Hatton get all the press, but Witter gets none. He deserves some, thats for sure, him vs Khan would be nice and i think Witter wins. Would lvoe to see this.

                    Witter should have had Hatton, Hatton even promised but didnt want to in the end, Hatton quite clearly ducked Witter his whole career.

                    The guy above saying Khan would beat both.....lol dont be silly, he loses to both.

                      the thing with witter is he dont draw for ****.
                      junior witters coming out parade in england was hes defence against vivian harris at the doncaster dome , the fight drew just under 2000 ppl and mick hennesy had to reduce ticket prices in the last few weeks just to shift them. then hes next fight against bradley they had the figth in nottingham with carl froch fighting a gimme as cheif support knowing that froch shifts tickets in nottingham exactly like hatton used to in manchester.
                      and as for the british public crying out for the fight believe me its been quite the opposite because frankly the average fan knows very little about witter even when he was world champion. witter has had very little showcasing on our tv screens so has had to use hattons name to gain the little publicity hes recieved over the years.
                      does it mean he will lose to hatton? no but because hatton didnt take the fight it doesnt mean hattons gonna lose
