Re: Witter says he'd fight Hatton for Free
Witter is dangerous, there is no doubt about that. That said, he only has a puncher's chance against Hatton. There is no way that he boxes him to a decision. As much as some people want to see Hatton embarrassed (and I can't understand why), he will continue to be the best light-welterweight in the world for a while yet. I just wish that the man he won the title from had fans as classy as the fighter himself. Kostya has moved on; some people could learn a good lesson there.

True Hatton has fought Tszyu and PBF so why would he be scared of Witter. The thing about Tszyu and Hatton is that they are both great fighters and are future HOFers, losing to them probably wouldnt do a great deal of harm to your legacy because they are great champs..
True Both the Mayweather and Tszyu fights will be viewed as pluses for Hatton as he took on two legitimate "greats."

This is why fighting Witter may actually scare Hatton more than fighting PBF or Kostya. Remember just a theory.
I understand what you're sayning Eagle and agree somewhat.
But I know that Hatton believes he can beat Witter.
I feel the primary issue is, that at the moment Hatton is trying to publicise everyone he fights right now and he wants to look good.
In beating Witter, Hatton would be facing an oppoenet who would make him look horrible.
Witter's style, although in my opinion, not enough to beat Hatton, certainly has the potential to make Ricky look awkward, messy and perhaps slow.
Thats not the image Hatton wants to relay to the world audience.

Hatton will definitely win, and he has no need to take this fight until he has finished fighting the best.
Diasagree on a couple there mate . This is how I see it
Power - Witter
Boxing ability - Witter
Speed - Witter
Workrate - Hatton
Body punching - Hatton
Head punching - Witter
Chin - Witter
Stamina - Hatton
Defence - Witter
