your joking arnt ya. witter is shit. he does his switch hitting rubbish to much and he does it badly. he might give hatton problems but he no way packs enough of a punch to stop hatton.Quote:

I think Witter-Hatton is a much closer fight now than it was a couple of years ago.
People that copy and paste really get on my nerves. >:madQuote:

Floyd Mayweather JR - the fight which ricky has claimed he has wanted all along, the main problem with this fight is the weight as i see it, ricky struggled at 147 and there is no way floyd will drop to 140 to fight hatton especially as he had just moved up to 154 in order to take on de la hoya.
Miguel Cotto - in my view the hardest fight out their for hatton and the one i would be least confident about him winning
Junior witter - has hounded hatton for the majority of his career. now junior has a world title he can seriously look to get a fight with hatton signed, the fight would be massive in britain but at current would not be favoured by the american tv network hbo due to witters lack of success in the states
I think the Mayweather fight has a chance of happening - after Oscar, Mayweather says he's retired in US but that doesn't mean worldwide. Think PBF will outpoint Oscar and Ricky will scrape home against JLC.
If the money's right what chances a fight at City of Manchester Stadium. That would be Ricky's dream - the thing is that would have to wait till next summer as I don't think MEN Arena is big enough for the interest a fight such as this would generate in Britain. Worry is that he takes a fight in spring and gets upset...
It WOULD sell out Manchester stadium and be on a par with Benn Eubank II
;)
Why does he need M'Baye and Baldomir or even Margarito?Quote:

If the Mayweather fight is never made, it's not to do with weight...it's to do with $$$$.
Y'see, I'm positive Ricky would fight Mayweather at 147. Ricky would still outweigh Floyd by 8 or 9 lbs come fight night (if Floyds recent fight night weights are correct - circa 149). Floyd chooses to utilise his speed rather than increase bulk. I don't even think he'll be much bigger when he fights Oscar...
I think the key to get Maywether is to hope DLH beats him. He might be a bit more reasonable with his demands then...
....maybe not.
If Eamon Magee can drop him Witter can even Collazo had him out on his feet in the 12th
bollocks ricky's got a solid chin, one of the best in the business. Did you not see the collazo fight? Ricky was walking through shot after shot. Did you see some of those right hands Kostya Tszyu landed on him early in their fight? hahaha yeah coz you probably think Kostya was shot and that Junior Witter hits harder than he ever did anyway.
Its not like the Eamonn Magee knockdown even shook him up that badly, and Magee was a quality fighter back in the day too I'd pick the Magee who fought Hatton to beat Junior Witter anyday.
Hatton's career is pretty good I think. He's got a lot of bums on his resume, but for every Carlos Vilches and Joe Hutchinson there's quality mixed in like Eamonn Magee, Ben Tackie, Vince Phillips, Ray Oliveira and Kostya Tszyu. You can't fluke victories like that, if Hatton was just hype he'd have been exposed long before now.
And I also reckon the Mayweather - Hatton fight can happen. If Hatton impresses against Castillo, which he might coz that fight WILL be a war, he'll have real momentum behind him and Floyd wont be able to ignore it. He's already calling out the winner, if hebeats Castillo well those calls will get stronger. If Floyd wants my respect he should take on Hatton and Cotto, they are the fights that need to be made. If he wants to go down as P4P all time great he can't have those questioning wether or not Cotto or Hatton could've beaten him.
If Ricky was that good would'nt he fight Witter just to shut him up Witter as been calling him out for about 6 year bad mouthing him and disrespecting him if it was me in Rickys position i would want to knock him out Witter has the WBC title now so its another title for ricky to give up if he wins. the fight kept getting promised to us by Frank Warren but it never came off why.I'll tell you why because Frank did'nt want Witter to crash the Hatton party he was making to much money off him He knew Witter had a good chance of beating him.
your telling me you'd rather see Hatton - Witter than Hatton - Cotto or Hatton - Mayweather? Hahahaha jesus. Got news for you mate Junior Witter is BORING! He's dull. He can't fill a school gym when he fights. The American networks dont wanna touch him. He cruises rounds and does nothing in fights. You must be crazy if you think Witter would provide us with the sort of entertainment those fights would. Ricky is a NAME, he needs to fight big fights he's already pissed about too much with Urango's and Maussa's, he lost out on a fight with Arturo Gatti, he doesn't need witter. But witter needs him big time, thats the only fight witter will ever be at which people want to see! I mean you can't get much money sellnig 350 tickets in Barnsley leisure centre!
Besides Witter isn't all that good. He's lazy as fuck, he takes rounds off and coasts all the time. He won't get chance to do any of that shit against Ricky Hatton, Hatton will be tearing into him like a terrier the full 12 rounds. Witter don't like that, he'd just get on his bike and pot-shot to avoid getting brawled up by ricky.
i think X makes some interesting observations
Sovereign i would love to see Hatton v Cotto or Mayweather but can you see it happening i just think Witter as the beating of him i think Ricky will go down as fighting good fighters but not the best fighters Kostya was old he had one fight in 23 month before Hatton and he held for first 5 round
Does that mean Trinidad was shit just cos Lueshing to name one dropped him?Quote:

Witter the sprinter brings nothing to the table. He's a wanna be Haseem Hamed. But no where near as good. I actually agree with Hatton for avoiding this clown. Facing Witter is a step backwards for Hatton. Witter is one of boxings most overrated fighters. I think Hatton would destroy him. Hatton's style is all wrong for Witter. Witter damn near pulled a hamstring muscle running from Judah when he faced him. And Judah is not the pressure fighter that Hatton is. I think this fight would go 3 rounds at best.Quote:
