Witter: "I Want To Stick it To Hatton"
With a world title shot around the corner, The-People.uk reports that junior welterweight Junior Witter still wants to lure his countryman Ricky Hatton into a long awaited clash.
that would be a good match, I love a good in house rivalry ! However Corley is going to be tough fight for Witter, Junior need to win that fight first , and talk shit later. ! ;)
Nobody knows who Witter is outside of boxing.
He's delusional when he refers to the "public".
Witter hasnt looked good in his last few fights,he will have to be alot better aginst Corley.
I think that was down to the quality of oppostion more than anything.Quote:

I'm really looking forward to Witter v Corely and I'll keep saying what I said from day one.... WITTER WILL KO HATTON!

Piece on Hatton V Witter
A fight that exactly no one outside of the UK will care about. Hatton needs to fight bigger names. Witter is a nobody, regardless of how much he wants to try to amp himself up.
I think Hatton is the most sought out fighter other than PBF..Or so it seems
Um, I think Oscar very much owns that status.Quote:

Hatton is a household name compared to Witter. If he starts stepping it up, I think he would be really in demand. Showtime has made him very well known...practically followed his rise.
Are you serious? There is not another fighter in the world right now who could sell more PPV's than Oscar. I gaurantee his final fight next year will be the biggest PPV fight of 2007.Quote:

I'd have to agree,I think Oscar is by far the most sought after fighters,it's guranteed biggest payday ever and the list of fighters that want him: Winky,PBF,Tito,Margarito,Williams,heck even Hatton has said he would fight him and the list just goes on. I don't think Hatton is that sought after,apart from Witter,I don't think anyone else really wants him do they?
You can't be serious. The $$$ is the whole point. Everyone cares about that far more than some alphabet trinket. In any case, for what it's worth (not much), Oscar won a belt off of Mayorga; Hatton currently has none, since he's vacated them all. A fight against Oscar would bring a fighter AT LEAST twice as much money as a fight against Hatton.Quote:

Seriously, Hatton needs to step up. If he's really only fighting for 2-3 years he should not be wasting his time with small-beans fighters like Witter. It would add nothing to a legacy. Castillo is the only fight that does anything for him at 140.

don't agree that beating Oscar wouldn't help someone's legacy, or that the money is no big deal. Or even that losing to him would be a terrible thing--for instance, I guarantee it helped Mayorga just to be in there with him. But the point of where we started was the statement that Hatton is the most sought after fighter besides Floyd. And purely as a matter of verifiable fact, many more fighters call out Oscar than anyone else in the sport. I.e., he's the most sought out fighter in the sport. Frankly, I'm very surprised anyone would argue with this.Quote:
