Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
witter desrerves a big money fight. The guys really earned it. Its too bad he doesnt get much recognition in the US and hes not very marketable imo. Still he is very deserving of a big fight.

In fact, no-one on the Witter team even mentioned the name "Hatton" as they carried out their post-fight interviews, speaking about Witter being the best at 140lbs, and a possible bout with Paulie Malignaggi. Indeed, Witter could well be trying to play down any talk of Hatton, as that clash is as far away as ever.
Well i think Witter should try get back in there before Chirstmas then he can talk about Hatton.
The more i think about it the more i think it might happen, this would attract 50 thousand + at Man City's stadium and Ricky has talked about a home coming for a while.
Home coming...he fought nearly every fight in england, i dont think he needs a home coming just yet ;)

After the Mayweather fight it will be nearly three years mate, i think he does.
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
That's the first time in over 2 years that Witter has came out and tried to hurt the guy, right off the bat. It's so frustrating because Qitter coulds have been doing this for the last 3 years and he would be on the big stage. I was impressed tonight big time, it just just makes me wonder why oh why hasn't Witter being performing like this over the years.
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
This was an impressive win for Witter. He wasnt boring at all? How did he look for those who saw it?
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
Boxed well, I mean all around and like I said he brought on some pressure when he needed to.
I don't give him that much credit for the win as I stated in the other thread cause me personally I never thought much of Harris.
So credit to Witter for the win and doing what I think was expected but now he needs to move on to bigger and better things.
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
He was typically limbo hands down style which i hate , but he sat down with his punches from the first bell , i was not impressed with Harris who didn't have any plan B , but Witter looked about as good as he ever will.
GOOD WIN , NOT THE BEST TO WATCH , He would beat Paulie in this form for me .
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
Def. agree Al. As far as Paulie being 'the force' at 140.......I just don't believe the hype.

I think Harris' plan B was tocome forward . At the start he tried to stand off and counterpunch but when he realised he wasnt quick enough he changed his plan and things went from bad to worse.
This is how Jnr is guna make Ricky fight him with performances like this . No good just talking big . If Ricky loses to Floyd he'll have no choice but to fight Witter

After watching a performance like that Ricky will be best advised to stick to "i'm not giving him a payday, he disrespects me to much" line.

Exactly. This fight would be huge in Britain, Ricky wouldn't need US television backing to make money from this, this is the only logical fight for him if he decides to fight in the UK after Mayweather (assuming he loses).

Up until now that excuse has been justified cuz he is topping the bill in Vegas and doesnt need Witter but circumstances change . If Ricky loses and is looking for a way back then who better than a guy like Witter who has the WBC title and has been a long time rival . If Ricky doesnt fight him after he loses to Floyd ( if he does ) then people will question if he is scared of Witter .

Oh come off it, it's still clear as day that Hatton would smash him up.

It's NEVER been clear as day Hatton would beat Witter that's why so many Brit fans have always wanted the match.
Last night showed again, when on form, Witter would be dangerous for anyone.

Actually should Hatton lose to Floyd then Witter can find himself in a situation where if Hatton approaches him for a fight he can say "too late" and keep going for unification beating the other champs.
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
No way Witter will ever say "no way" to Hatton. While it is a noble idea, Witter will still need Hatton more than Hatton will need Witter.....loss or not.

if Witter wins the other titles in the 140 division will he need Hatton anymore?
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
Witter would still need Hatton. A British fighter always needs bouts that can bring home copious amounts of fights for a domestic bouts. That is common sense.
Re: Junior Witter vs Harris. *Spoiler inside*
Yeh I read an interview with Witter and says he thinks about Ricky Hatton everyday.
Never will Witter say no to Hatton under any circumstances.

Never in a million years. Witter probably hasn't even seen 6 figures in his career. Witter would take a Hatton fight with both hands behnd his back if it meant a big payday.

Exactly....if Hatton offers Witter a fight, it'll be because Hatton wants to regain a title at that weight, and Witter will make a career-high payday by a distance. For Witter to turn that down, Hatton would be a little disappointed, but as he drives off in his convoy of ferrari's, leaving Witter stuck at the lights in his renault clio, I know which side of the fence I'd prefer.
And Fenster....you refer to "so many Brit fans have always wanted the match", but I'm not convinced that a majority would want to see Witter v Hatton, big international names like Cotto would have more attraction for British fans as well as those further afield.
