[hittmann]

after the destruction of harris is witter ready to take on the elite at 140

who are his best matches and who would give him a run for his money?
(even though he doesn't make much)

[Steelie]

Witter IS the elite at 140.

[El Gamo]

He would probably beat Torres but I'd take Paulie over him,Torres,Holt and the other UK champ,Rees I think his name is?

[Fenster]

For a second there I thought you were saying Rees would beat Witter


I'd make Witter favourite against everyone at 140. His toughest fight would be Paulie cause the styles would make it a nightmare.

[Hughesd]

Witter has a long way to go before conquering America. He hasn't even conquered Britain.

He should avoid 147 at all costs i wouldn't mind Witter revenging his only defeat to Judah.

Well the only fighters that are still worth following at 140 are
Paulie Malignaggi, Ricardo Torres and Junior Witter.
Everyone else has been destroyed by Hatton, Cotto or Witter already, or moved up to 147.

There are other guys still in the division that show promise, but NOONE else I would consider to be elite.
ex. Gavin Rees, Gianluca Bronco, Colin Lynes, Ted Bami, Herman Ngoudjo, Juan Urango, Kendall Holt et. al.

If Witter is smart he'll sit back and watch Hatton get dominated by Mayweather. Once that happens Hatton-Witter will happen. For Hatton-Witter to happen, Hatton must lose to Mayweather. And he will.

[Tam Seddon]

Hatton wont lose to mayweather, it will be close but he wont lose. He will also see that the big money will be at 147 so he will stay there now, he should never have left really IMO. But even after this floyd fight there is a lot of good fights that could be made with Ricky Hatton. Witter isnt one at this momment. Hatton-Cotto sounds a lot more appealing to me.

For me, the light-welter division has taken a big dip over the past two years or so, and that is what has allowed Junior Witter to become the primo force there. Hatton has moved up, Tzsyu retired, Gatti fell from grace and Mayweather didn't want to stick around, Cotto has moved up, and those are an awful lot of big names to leave a division.

I do believe that Witter is probably the best Light-Welter in the world at the moment, with feather-fisted Paulie Malignaggi having been beaten by Cotto, and vulnerable to a puncher, and Torres still not having faced top-level opponents in the same range as Witter, although his resume remains a little bare.

The question really should be, is there anyone in America that can really progress Witter's career, or would he also be better off stepping up and competing at welterweight?

[Puya]

I think I'm with Witter against Paulie and Torres.

[Wacko3205]

Witter take on America?

He tried that fight...& got his ass handed to him by Judah...but Judah was in his prime back then.

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.
