Witter should do some work in his home spot...he could do some good in Hatton's place.
I like Witter's chances...I'd actually like to see him in with Hatton.
But you got remember Witter took the Judah fight with only a weeks notice. Judah took it with ah....damn he only had a weeks notice to. So much for that excuse.
You make me laugh VD, when your not being a coomplete nob jockey your very knowledgable poster who knows his shit.
But Junior Witter had been fighting in 4 and 6 rounders against local bin men, Zab Judah had been training for a 12 round fight and was a World Champion.
Re: IS WITTER READY TO TAKE ON AMERICA?
If the question is 'Is he ready to sell out a Stadium in America?' The answer is no.
If the question is 'Is he ready to take on anyone else at 140?' The answer is yes.
If I was Witter, I would be going after Paulie, then whoever has took Rees' belt of him

Who's fault that? You can't hold it against a fighter (Judah) cuz his opponent (Witter) was treated with kid gloves coming up. And it shouldn't be used as an excuse.

No not at all im not blaming Judah he went in there did his job. But Witter was thrown in at the deep end.
It would be like throwing Berto in with Cotto on two weeks notice.

I don't know about that. There's an 11 fight difference between Cotto and Berto. There was only 4 with Judah and Witter. If Witter was considered green. Than to a point than so was Judah. Bottom line is Judah dominated Witter than. And I think he'll do it again now.
Re: IS WITTER READY TO TAKE ON AMERICA?
Judah didn't dominate Witter. He won but Witter did well for someone at such a disadvantage.
It was a shit fight where the criticism Witter takes for it has gone over the top mostly by bods that haven't seen the fight. As usual.

I can't stand Witter, but I agree with this. At 140, there aren't many better. I'm about the only one around who thinks Torres is a little better. I just think he offers that little bit more in terms of action. With Torres, what you see is what you get but Witter blows hot and cold.

Here we go again. How was Witter any more at a disadvantage than Judah? Both only had a weeks noticed going into the fight. Both were still early in there careers. So how was Witter any more at a disadvantage than Judah?

Come on VD you honeslty believe that they were both at en equal disadvantage hand on heart?
Man mentally if anything:
" Junior Jason Rowland has pulled out against Zab Judah the IBF Champ and the guy there touting as the new Pernall Whittaker with power, they want to know can you fill in"
" What the fuck!!! What do you think coach? I was fighting the local car mechanic in a 4 rounder 3 weeks ago? Have i got a chance? "
" Well Junior starnager things have happened, if we loose we can come again your young and the experience might do you the world of good, if you loose well you lost against one of the bright young prospects in world boxing, and if you look good in defeat it will do you good in the long run."
When Zab is told of the change of opponent:
" Zab that British guy you were fighting has pulled out, they have brought some novice who has been fighting 4 and 6 rounders against no one, what do you think? "
" Well this guy sounds like a walk in the park bring him on"
;D

Zab was scheduled to fight Jason Rowland on the card.
Zab was the IBF "world" champ. Witter had never fought past 8 rds or even fought for the the British title. He stepped in at late notice for the dosh. He's obviously learnt a lot from the fight.
Re: IS WITTER READY TO TAKE ON AMERICA?
If he's not ready now then when ??? I hope to see him in there with paulie, if the hatton fight happens good but there are a ton of guys out there for him to come over pond and showcase what he has, the casual fan at least around here has no idea who he is and that is a shame for a fighter so good. Would he beat paulie, i'm not sure but he's getting older and now is the time
