Carlos Mauser was not a name nethier was the last bloke Hatton fought for the ibf belt but the fights were still made.

Witter is more of a name than those 2 and it would be as big a fight in the uk as any other apart from a superstar like De La Hoya.
Well didnt Hatton get critism for taking those fights? After the Tszyu fight everybody thought he would take on Harris because he was the next big name. On the mayweather-Gatti undercard he got KTFO! against Maussa and thats why I think he took that fight. The Urango fight is a fight I didnt agree with and I can agree with you saying if Ricky faught them two, why doesnt he fight Witter.

But I think now after the Mayweather fight hes all in it for the money and hes even admitted that himself. So I dont think he wants to go down these no money earning routes anymore. Its hard to say really. But ill see it again, as soon as Witter gets that one more name on his record I believe he gets a Hatton fight.
