Hatton is Definitely Avoiding Witter

[Bx730NY]

Sorry Hatton fans but your boy is doing all he can to downplay Witter and try to make it seem like he's undeserving but it's clear that he and his people want no part of him. Every site I go to I hear a different excuse why he shouldn't fight him and they are sounding more ridiculous every time.

They are really testing the publics intelligence and Hatton is looking worse and worse as a result. I always respected Hattons heart but at this point, it's getting tougher to defend.

Witter is the man at 140 and if Hatton wants that distinction, he has to go through him. Plain and simple.

Yes i tend to agree , but i can see Hattons point that Witter isnt a big money option for him , but can he live with himself if he never fights Witter and Witter keeps on baiting him ?
i personally think he should fight Witter , but i think even Ricky knows its a big Risk , and i think The Lord Of The Dance has a very good chance of Knocking Ricky out.

Maybe he hasnt overcome the last KO yet.....and now want try with another easy fight ahhhh....

In fact i think i can use this picture for every single Witter-Hatton thread.

Probably sums up half of the boards feelings...

Hatton is really damaging his image and realtionship with his fans by his attitude towards Witter. At first I thought it was just to build the fight up by making out it wouldn't happen but that is clearly not the case.

Hattons confidence has taken a massive blow by the defeat to PBF and I think for the first time in his career self doubt is playing a part in him avoiding Witter. Hatton is no fool he knows that styles make fights and I think he knows that Witters style is all wrong for him. Witter too knows this and that is why he WANTS the fight.

If Hatton is convinced he would win then why not take a sell out fight in the UK to put him back on the map with a win ? Hatton is rattled and the more he uses excuses as reasons not to fight Witter the more obvious it gets. If Hatton is the Warrior he tells us he is (and I used to think he was) money would be secondary to beating a guy that is making him look like a coward.

Such a shame if the fight does not happen because the clash of styles would make such a great fight. Come on Ricky give the fans what they want !!!

I've never been a Hatton fan nor hater. Tho I've always admired his down-to-earth attitude and his courage. But I think it's time he fights Witter. He'll win/keep more fans if he fights Witter and gets KO'ed, that if he keeps avoiding him with lame excuses. Witter has called him out. Go get him.

Is it me or isn't Hatton still the man at 140? To be the man, you should have to beat him, and nobody at 140 can claim that distinction. Hatton will fight him eventually, but why fight someone who winds you up when you just lost your head against the last guy that pissed you off? Let him come back, get a title and then lets have unification.

I've said it before and I will say it again, Witter fans don't know what they're talking about.

Name one reason why Hatton should face Witter ??

Because Witter holds a nice shiny green belt which says world champion on ??

Name one reason he's facing Lazcano?

Name one reason he's facing Lazcano?

Because Lacanzo is a ranked opponent and a good name after coming off a crushing first loss via knockout, Hatton needs to build his confidence up and get that winning mentality back.

But according to you and Hatton's people Witter is not that good. And he's ranked higher than Lazcano. So why not fight him?

I think he should fight Witter because Hatton claims hes the number 1
light Welter, but next to Hatton Witters the man in the division, that shiny
green belts also the best one to have and when the champion is willing to take a 30% share it seems a logic choice of fight, unless hes scared he
could lose...
