Junior Witter "I'm going to beat Hatton up, he's scared of me"

This was taken from a US radio station a month ago which I just found and it's a good interview but he talks crap, sorry if this has been posted.

"PBF exposed Hatton badly"

"I can't understand how he (Hatton) claims to be the best when he's not the best in Britain".

"I'd knock him out in 5 rounds", "I have a lot of the attributes Floyd has and I also hit a lot harder than Floyd"

"If Floyd wants to come to the UK then he should box me and I'm looking for that fight to be done by the end of the year, I'd rather face Mayweather now than Hatton".

"I was not impressed with Malignaggi against Herman".

"I want fights with champions in the prime".

Presenter: "Have you got a final message for Ricky Hatton?"

Witter "Ricky don't worry about money, if your the public hero give them what they want, me and you and stop being a coward."

Junior your up your own arse mate, Hatton would own you.

I applaud Junior for his confidence, but if he really believes he's better than Hatton and his power is better than Mayweather's why is he "lowering" himself to Hatton???

I hate Witter i would love it if he fought Hatton and got the S**t knocked out of him.Or it would be funny o see him lose to a nobody.

Lets see how he handles Hopkins 1st . Thats make or break . If he does well then he gets the fight as public demand and pressure will call for it . But ifits a bore he can kiss goodbye to any big fight aspirations .

i would love to see these guys fight, come on hatton take the fight

I expect Witter to stop Hopkins not impressed with him he got a gift of a dicision against Forbes.

Witter certainly talks up a good game....The sad part is no one but Junior Witter is buying any of it

lol daxx
that is the truth..
I did not want hatton to take this fight, but now i want witter to swallow some of his own teeth....
Im torn:(

Sorry boys, Witter does hit hard and would piiss all over Hatton

I reckon Witter would stop Ricky quicker than Floyd

Id also love to see witter v Mayweather

All I know is that Witter keeps calling out Hatton and Hatton keeps making excuses for not fighting him. I believe Witter may be correct in his assertion that Hatton is scared. Where I come from, when someone calls your courage into question, you show them just how courageous you are (see Mayweather vs. Hatton). Based on the evidence, I have no choice but to call Hatton scared.

To be honest this has gone on too long Hatton needs to step up and make the fight!

It will be interesting to see how Hatton comesback after his first loss, I suspect he will take a confidence boosting fight to shake off the cobwebs and then take on Witter at the end of the year. It's the one fight he can take and make big bucks in the UK. Then a return to the US to fight Malignaggi or whoever, 140lb is not strong at the moment. He will not get a rematch with Floyd!

Witter is right. Hatton is scared to fight him. Come on now, there really ain't a good excuse why Hatton ain't fighting him. It has to be fear

Witter is saying statements like this because he knows that his record cant back up why he legitmate to fight someone of Hattons class. He has beat Harris, SO WHAT!? Hes a bum who was a champ years ago and has done nothing to prove he was worthy of being the champ at 140! Hatton would have stopped him if he didnt get knocked out by Carlos Maussa!

Witter is a nobody and to be honest I think D hop can be beat him. He is nothing but mouth and when Hatton fights him he will get stopped. Witter struggled against Colin Lynes who isnt anything on Hattons level, Hatton would stop him.

Hatton wans big named fights which offer a lot of money. Witter holds nothing but a WBC belt but no record which would define Hattons record. He needs to get the belts at 140 to show he is the man. I think PM would beat him and Witter has no say at 140.

Beat Dhop and get more of a name at 140 because there is nothing to show he is worthy compared with PM and RT that he deserves his shot.

In my opinion Hatton would stop him in 5!

If not Witter, than who? I agree Witter's resume ain't great. But based on his wins over Vivian Harris, DeMarcus Corley and Lovemore N'dou it's at least as good if not better than the other top 140 pounders. If you look at Paulie Maliggani, Ricardo Torres and Kendall Holt resume, they ain't much better. So I ask you again, who do you feel Hatton should fight if not Witter?

great listen mate... the time has come Ricky give the fans what they want :cool:

Would love to see this fight. But I don't think Hatton's scared of anyone.

It's highly unlikely that Hatton is scared of Witter!! :D

I wouldnt mind seeing this though as it would be a good matchup. Hatton has too much for Witter by my reckoning, but its anybodies guess how much Mayweather has taken out of Ricky. Im most curious about seeing Rickys bounce back...

I wouldnt Put a win past witter. He's a stylistic nightmare..If ricky thinks he is going to lunge in with left hooks Witter will drop some bombs on him and probably KO him. Otherwise Hatton got all the tools to gain a dominant victory.

And what better feeling to drive your rival into the ground?

Would be a great win for Rick he really needs to make it happen.

Credit to Junior Witter, I've never heard one fighter call out another is a less charismatic way.

Even when he was saying he'd KO him inside 5 rounds I trying hard not to fall asleep.

Give him respect though, at least he's genuine, every bit as exciting outside the ring as in it. :Zzz:

Ricky would beat JR in 7. Witter couldnt even beat zab! But he won't take this fight unless Witter can also generate a bigger payday inside of The USa, rtight now that is only in the UK where people would watch this. But if Jr beats hopkins which is on HBO he can draw some american exposure which may set up the fight for sometime in the neat future. But right now I think Ricky is still leening towards a May 24th bout with a tune up and then taking on PM
