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 !!!
