If Hatton gets his fight with Oscar

[Violent Demise]

Hatton has said he will not fight Witter cuz of Witter's past insults. Yet how did Hatton get the Mayweather fight? Oh yeah, by insulting him. I think it's more of a case that Hatton sees Witter as a live threat. And he would absolutely hate to lose to Witter. Witter would never let him forget it. Hatton doesn't have the confidence that he can beat Witter like De La Hoya had when he fought Vargas. A fighter he said he would never give the opportunity to fight him

Yep but you forget he also does not want to give Witter a payday and why would Ricky Hatton be scared of losing after who he's faced

Also Ricky takes those comments Witter makes about him to heart and very personal but Mayweather did not, he's not like Ricky as PBF just seen Ricky as another opponent to get through and he used the usual trash talk no different.

If that's the case than Hatton's being a sensitive little bitch. There's nothing wrong with Witter's methods. Insulting a fellow fighter is very common. This is boxing. What was Witter suppose to do? Bring him flowers? Take him out to dinner? Come on now. Hatton is considered number 1 at 140. Witter is considered number 2. At the worse 3. Make the fight. And Hatton not wanting to give Witter a big payday is a bullshit excuse. Cuz Witter stated plenty of times that money would not be an issue. He would take a small purse just to fight Hatton.

VD - although only revelling in winding-up you Hatton lovers - is right on this one.

Do you yourself realise the stupidity of those remarks?

As for the first comment: Unless you make that last word 'beaten' (or the like), there is no logic whatsoever to the statement. Why would Ricky be afraid of losing to Witter after he has faced Mayweather? Well, he lost that fight. "Bobby Gunn lost to Enzo Maccarinelli, so why would he be afraid of losing to David Haye " See?

As for the second comment: You make Hatton sound like stupid, sensitive, double-standarded biatch. Surely, he is a better man than that?

The only legitimate argument for not fighting Witter is to build up the fight. Ducking him might just make people anticipate the showdown even more. But, surely, at some point the ducking must stop.

[Tins06]

Its hard, when you see what ricky says in the paper to beleive that he isn't just plain ducking Jnr Witter. I mean c'mon, "I dont want to give him his career payday".

Hatton is number 1...Witter is number 2 IMO so why is this fight not happening?

Its the same old High risk,Low rewardodging fighters

You don't. I was trying to mimic your logic there. Losing to one guy, doesnt mean not being afraid of losing to another.

(My analogy was crap though, I'll give you that, but I couldnt think of any better at the time).

Whatever bro but thats your interpretation of things and I've already stated mine so let's leave it at that shall we.

Ricky deep down is the only one that knows why he won't fight Witter.

[Dark Lord Al]

Hey leftie we agree on most things , honestly wot do u think reason for Hatton not fighting Witter ?

[frozensolid_702]

Hatton has been ducking junior for the last 8 years,everyone in the boxing industry knows this,he has had so many excuses over the years as to why he wont fight him,its getting old,ricky will never fight junior because he doesnt fully believe he can win...

im a huge hatton fan but im even tired of this....

As somebody else said why would Hatton duck Junior Witter when his last fight he went up a weight division to challenge the best P4P fighter on earth, Floyd Mayweather. He also fought Tszyu and Castillo so why on earth would he duck Witter, that is a stupid comment.

Have a for that remark.

"I'm a hugh Hatton fan"

Yeh right

Because Hatton knew he would get smoked by the best fighter on the planet, make 10 million, and still be considered the best at 140 after he loses.

If Hatton lost to Witter, he makes nowhere near the money he got for Mayweather, he loses to a guy that isn't even considered to 15 P4P, nobody considers him best at 140 along with losing 75% of his fan base, as well as the support of an entire country.


Make sense?

Firstly CC for challenging what I say and putting it in to context rather that "Hatton is a c*** for ducking Witter etc".

But I challenge your claims and here's why

Hatton knew he would get smoked by the best fighter on the planet

Hatton knew he would get beat bro that is just completely lame and stupid, hatton knew he would be the underdog for the PBF fighter but Hatton has never ever said Floyd would beat him and has always remained confident of winning.

Check out the "HATTON EYEING OSCAR VID AND HE MENTIONS WITTER"

Bro I can see where you are coming from but you are completely wrong.

Hatton has even stated on his DVD he now only wants to fight the best, take a look at the trailer and that parts on there.

Fair enough...... Hatton did seem pretty confident before and during the majority of the Mayweather fight.

I should have said "Hatton knew IF he got beat by Mayweather, he got beat by the best fighter on the planet," there isn't too much shame in that.

That's not true. I also know why.

Answer: He's not confident he can beat Witter.
