I wouldn't worry too much Donny.

He is expecting to fight again late May in the UK.

The thing is ono, being around boxers so much and around the gym so much, I know exactly how hard it is to prepare for any fight, let alone a world title fight, He can't keep doing this or he'll actually end up losing because of neglecting himself.

Motivation is my biggest worry for him, it must be difficult to get yourself up for a fight that cannot possibly come close to the hype of fighting the best on the planet.

IMO he needs to fight Witter soon and win nif he wants to claim to be undisputed champion of the weight, he's already held the belt Paulie has, and Paulie looked crap last time out. It's the biggest genuine fight out there for him at the moment.

But when your a fan, like your football team, even though they are not entertaining, you still go watch them.

Bad Times and the Good, I want him to do well, I just feel when I pay 15 pound a time for his fights, its a bit sad that he hits hold, hits holds...

Difference between me and you is you are a "fan" of a boxer(s), I am a "fan" of the Sport of Boxing. I have no favorite boxer. I respect them all to a point. Win or Lose. All fights are entertaining to watch. Even the boring ones.

I think fighting Junior Witter will add to his legacy he needs to fight him if he retires without fighting him it will be one of them things where the British fans say how good he was but he should have fought Witter.David Haye won the undisputed cruiserweight crown he could have gone upto heavyweight but instead he has chosen to fight Enzo for the british fans its a fight that had to happen but he could have got away without having.Hatton vs Witter is similar to Haye vs Maccerinelli its just a fight that needs to happen for boxing for the fans and most of all for the fighters legacy.

I totally agree Bomp, his confidence will be knocked too without doubt.

However, as i stated earlier I can't bring myself to write him off, Come on Ricky!!!
