Witter-dodger Reveals Truth - He'll Never Fight Witter

[Fenster]

Hatton said: “I was half contemplating fighting him but it all changed at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year awards in Birmingham.

“They got me up, Joe Calzaghe, Enzo Maccarinelli, Clinton Woods and Witter. We all walked to the stage and I shook hands with them all. Witter leaned over to me and whispered ‘One day.’

“I just thought, ‘You’ve just peed that up against the wall there.’ I really was thinking about getting in the ring with him.”

April fools? Sadly I think not.

Of course I didn't see Witter say that to him, but I did see Hatton be courteous to him and all.

I dunno, I really think this fight should be made and let Ricky hurt him and prove a point.

[ono]

Don't blame him. Witter aint really done shit.

He might aswell earn more money fighting less dangerous fighters who haven't really done shit.

[Kev]

Aaaah poor Ricky's not going to fight Junior because he was mean to him

Honestly have you ever heard such crap in your life.

'He keeps saying he's going to beat me up so I'm not going to fight him '


Every other fighter when they get called out and suffer personal insults from another fighter tend to WANT to meet them in the ring to settle things once and for all.

But Ricky thinks that because a fighter says he'll smash his face in he shouldn't fight him

Grow some bollocks Hatton

Why do so many people like this clown anyways?

I read this in the paper this morning and thought "what a load of shit" He makes it sounds like Witter a school bully or something.

At the end of the day it makes Ricky look bad..Ive only noticed now things in the paper, people writing in wanting to see Witter vs Hatton so this isn't a case of no-one cares.

It would be a real smear on Hattons career I think if Hatton didn't get in there with Witter.

[Gandalf]

If Hatton really said that then it was a somewhat trite and petty thing to say. I dont really rate Witter all that highly and think Hatton would beat Witter quite easily. Maybe Hatton is trying to whet the appetite of the screaming multitudes who are so tantalised about the prospects of a potential Hatton: Witter bout. Dunno.

I don't know how revealing that story would actually make Hatton look better, all it proves is that unlike many fighters Witter has the confidence to say what he intends to do to his opponents face, and not just a show up for the cameras. One of these fighters is genuinely an 'anyone, anytime, anywhere' fighter, while the other tries to convince the world that he is too, and failing miserably.

Good point Bomp. Witter is just doing what we want him to do, try and make the damn fight.

Hatton is just a commerical enterprise right now. He wants the mega money event's even though he know he'll lose. He likes to appear on Question of Sport and enjoy his tv appearances.

It wouldn't suprise me if he brought out his own range of T-Shirts, maybe even a grill or a toasted sandwhich maker.

His career is practically irelevent now, let him fight Laun Lazcano and then get his ass beat by Floyd again for some cash.

The he go get his coveted IBO crown back from whichever D lister holds it at that time and retire as a British great.

[albsur2006]

I don't believe that Hatton thinks he can't win the fight, but I think he does realize it will be tough to beat Witter. I think Hatton would rather someone come along and beat Witter first and then say "See, I told you he wasn't worthy" or just wait until Witter gets really old and then try to beat him.

Hatton claims that he's just another one of the guys and he's a nice guy. But I think he was believing a little too much in his own hype when he fought Floyd and getting knocked out like that has fucked up his psyche. Just some of Hatton's quotes since the Mayweather fight lead me to believe that he's every bit the ego maniac that Floyd is. It's just Floyd goes about it in a much more brash and public manner, oh yeah, and Floyd hasn't been KTFO before.

Why should Hatton fight Witter ? He doesn't need to fight him. Hatton needs to be chasing a big money rematch with Mayweather. When Witter fights and beats a genuine top boxer than maybe he can start spouting off.

Lol that was funny

I like Ricky . Ive met him and think hes a sound bloke but thast a desperate excuse he used there . . . . .when has a fighter been complimentary to another in order to get a fight .. Witter has the WBC Hattons coming off a K.O loss so it should be the other way round .

[donnydarkoIRL]

I can't understand why this fight is being made, other than Ricky feels he doesn't want ot put in the effort of chasing a guy around the ring all night.

[LEGION]

I wonder if Ricky really doesn't want to fight this kat, or if he is just trying to build it up in some way so the fans will scream for it.

Hard to say where another man's mind is at, but he got shook something awful when Floyd laid hands on him, and I wonder if he is hesitant to get in with a guy right now that could be a big threat. I wouuld love to see this fight go down; just hope Ricky will take it at some point.

Kind of odd that he won't fight Witter because of Witter's "disrespect"; when Hatton got a fight with Floyd through the same means of disrespect. Ricky sounds as hypocritical as our resident hobbit Bilby

Isn't that what put him in Mayweather's crosshairs? Well, that and shitloads of money?
