I would like to see Hatton vs Witter i think Witter deserves his shot at the number 1 he's been chasing him long enough and Hatton has been avoiding Warren promised Witter this fight often enough but it never came off because Warren knew that Witter could probably beat Hatton and ruin his investment.Out of all the Lightwelterweights out their i think Witter stands the best chance of beating him.
I would get a loan and bet as much as the bank would give me, that Ricky Hatton would stop Junior Witter without a fucking sweat. They're not in the same league. Witter was lucky he was fighting a past it Demarcus Corley to win a title, because otherwise, he wouldn't have one.Quote:

I'd like to see him steam straight in at welter after Castillo. If he isnt cut out for life at 147 so be it, at least he would have given it a proper go, and it will finally give all the Hatton haters a chance to let off some steam and say I told you so ;)
The only non-147 match up I'd be semi happy for Hatton to fight if he beats Castillo is the winner of a showdown between Juan Diaz v Casamayor if that ever comes off, either that or an unlikely showdown between Hatton and Pacquiao, the problem with that fight is Hatton would kill himself to get to 135lbs, the fight would almost definitely have to be 140lbs, maybe 138lb if your pushing it, but it's already a big cut for a Hatton these days.
Honestly I'd vomit all over the place if Hatton ever got into the ring with Junior Witter, I'd probably boycott it out of sheer repugnance, the way Junior treated Ricky after he beat John Thaxton was disgraceful, Witter single handedly destroyed his career for about 4 years because everyone hates him, his fights are boring and his opinion of himself is way too high. There was nothing to gain for other fighters to step in with Junior because the payday would be terible cos he can't sell tickets. He's really talented, but he takes like he's hard done to, when really he doesn't give 100% in the ring.
Now your one of my favourites on here but i think Witter would stand a really good chance this would be a real 50/50 fight he stopped Morua in 9 then Morua went on to fight Torres the WBO champ who had had Cotto in major trouble and he only won on UD12 so that made Witters result look better i dont think Witter gets enough credit he did a great job on N'dou with a damaged hand get that loan i will put my house up ;DQuote:

Casamayor isn't doing much. He just cancelled a fight in Panama I think because he said he wants to concentrate on fighting the winner of Morales-David Diaz for his old WBC strap.
You see Witter run for his life against Colin Lynes for 12 rounds, he won a razor thin decision that night and stunk the place up to high heaven, and his fight against Morua was a soothing nap for me, so I was fresh as a daisy when Ricky faught later on that night in Vegas. And Corley again was great relaxation for my eyelids.Quote:

Haha, sounds like a plan. I try not to be overly opinionated by this, but Witter really gets under my skin. For me, he's a mouth who's proven nothing. He's ordinary. You can't go off that Morua-Torres thing. That could have just been a Torres off not. Witter was poor against Morua. I laughed my arse off at his attempt to finish him, because he was swinging wildly at the air. I really don't rate him. I don't think you're giving Hatton enough credit by the same token. I bet Hatton would have stopped Morua in 3. You really think Witter could have beaten Tszyu?Quote:

Hatton REALLY doesn't like witter, again he'd storm in reckleslly and i don't think he'd pull back till he really hurt witter.
Witter is awkward and can box...and he switch hits so that gives him a kind of enigma factor but i jus don't believe he has the skills required to dissuade hatton from knocking him out.
But Maussa is'nt nowhere near as good as Witter he has no skill he's abit wild he got in a lucky punch against Harris and won a world title if Witter vs Hatton makes us the fans debate like this surely its worth seeing.
hatton beats up witter but i would still like to see it purely to shut witter up.
Oh ya id definitely watch it! An im not sayin that Witter isnt better than Maussa, its jus maussa was the last guy hatton boxed that he really didn like is all.
He fought Kostya then easy title options Maussa,Collazo and Urango now he's fighting Castillo but he could be a spent force so Witter deserves a shot at least he's lively and he's definately better than Maussa,Collazo and Urango.
He's not better than Collazo. Collazo could beat Witter for me. Also I don't think it's really that much of a debate. If it happens, I go for Hatton to shade a close 30 second first round with a KO ;D (hope my bias hasn't shown through)Quote:
