Thread: Is everyone in love with Junior Witter?

Why all the love for Junior Witter?

why why why?

I can understand maybe some American's who've only seen him beat Vivian Harris. But what about the Brits who saw him fight Judah, N'Dou, Kotelnik, Lynes etc..?

Does one impressive KO over a complete donkey wipeout half a dozen stink fests?

Does being over-confident and unorthodox make you a great fighter?

Does switch-hitting and having a cool hair cut make you great?

So many questions....

Is Britain that desperate for a new boxing hero now Hatton has lost?

Is Hatton on the downward slope that most British sports stars go down after being built up?

Is Witter on his way up that slope? If he is, why?

Why is Hatton being called a coward when he has twice (very recently) conceded weight to fight in his opponents home country and city?

Why is he being lambasted for fighting Juan Lazcano, when he has just come off a KO loss?

Why is he being lambasted for wanting to get back in the ring with the same fighter who brutally ko'd him? Anybody who answers "for the money" is completely over-looking the fact that Hatton genuinley wants another shot.

Why does one win over Vivian Harris wipeout the displays against Judah, Lynes, Kotelnik and N'dou?

and most importantly

Why hasn't Witter made an offer? Wonder if it's because he can continue to generate publicity from fighting mediocre opponents and slagging Hatton off?

Just a final note to say that i can not believe the naivety of some people on here. This fight will happen, regardless of wether you agree Junior deserves it. Hatton and Witter are playing Cat and Mouse....building the fight up. Witter is fighting on ITV, Witter is gaining lots of popularity with the fans who are sick of the sight of Hatton, Witter is fighting a fighter who has hardly any chance of beating him.....so's Hatton. The same thing will happen around November time. This fight will happen in 2009. You'll see.

Fame and Money? Think she look elsewhere!

I have met him and he was a really nice chap actually.

I don't think i have an opinion on him really. Just bewildered by how much respect he seems to be getting nowadays.

Yep i remember them days. Why doesn't anybody else?

I honestly don't think there's anything special about this fella.To me he is probably the most overrated/overhyped fighter in the ring today.He will fight someone big then get knocked out.

I dont love Witter. He is alright as a boxer but just that. He hasnt beaten the quality that Hatton has beaten, not by a long shot. Of course, he can call out Hatton. That gets the attention of only those are blind to the fact that Hatton has just fought the best and that Witter is still far away from deserving the only big cheque of his career.

No we ain't either desperate or in need, and I for one am in no way a fan of Witter, he's over rated, even if only by himself lol, and not much more than a average plus fighter with a unusual style .... but we got a little unknown fighter here in Britain that's not too bad and also unbeaten, I find it comical that you should use Hatton as a analogy for us Brits .... when using a analogy, use the other Brit I'm talking about .... Joe Calzaghe ... he's not bad..then you will see why we ain't desperate when we got one of the p4p best on our lil old patch of land....

I find it comical that you think i'm not British.

To surprise you further, i'm also from Leeds.

The point you're referring to was me making a point about how our press/media build fighters up. I was wondering if the same thing is likely to happen to Witter.

Nobody is in love with him, but I will say I once walked into a room with him there. He has this incredibly bright aura around him. It was like he was in God Mode in Quake 2.

We all sat around, smoked some weed, and talked openly about the Mayweather vs Big Show rematch slated for June 2009

Ive never seen ANYONE on this site claim Witter is "great."

The American fans along with all other boxing fans (excluding blinkered Hatton lovers, of course) WANT the fight because Hatton and Witter are rated no.1 and 2 at 140. Naturally ALL boxing fans should want the best per divison to face eachother. So why would it be surprising so many prefer to see this match-up than Hatton fighting an exhibition match?

The Brit fans that KNOW the history between these two are sick and frustrated with Hatton's million and 1 excuses to dodge Witter. Simple as.

This fight will happen in 2009, will it? What like it was gonna happen in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008?

And you can't believe the naivety of some?

I dont love Witter, I am a big Hatton fan but I have gained a lot of respect for Witter over the last few years,

he missed his chance to fight hatton a few years ago because the fight didn't make sense but now he is a world champion

And I think we would all agree I would rather see Hatton Vs Witter at the City of Manchester than Hatton Vs Lacuzwho

Planning a fight for next year is dangerous witters getting old Hatton already has to put up with people saying he only beats washed up fighters why give him the excuse

I dont buy the fact Hatton needs a warm up fight after coming off a defeat to Mayweather he is too strong mentally to let it affect him against Witter I think this is the money men getting nervous

Hatton is a fans favourite and a exciting boxer, no one draws a crown like him so to compare any boxer to him on this scale is un fair and unnecessary Hatton can fill a stadium and PPv fighting anyone as he has just shown which means financially it doesn't matter who he fights

Witter is the best LW at the moment I just want to see Hatton get his place back

...too broad of an assumption most people U.S. or not dislike witter. Hell most people out here don't even know who the hell the guy is outside of true boxing fans. He's just been brought up and defended lately cause a lot of people are dissappointed in hatton avoiding him. The guy is disliked but the idea of hatton ducking him is disliked even more. For the record though i have no problem with witter there are things i do like about the guy.

As he's just trying to get popular off Hatton's name, he's been doing it all of his career.
