Messy, horrible fight with Ricky stopping Junior late because of attrition.
That's a ridiculously unfair comparison.

Magee failed to win the British, European and unsurprisingly never even fought for a "genuine" world title.

Hatton fought Magee in his 29th fight, it was the 7th defence of his (laughable) WBU title having 2 years previous been British champion.

Zab Judah was the unbeaten IBF "world" champion who was ALL the rage at the time of facing Witter.

Witter fought him on a weeks notice, had never been past 8 rounds and never even fought for a British title - let alone mixed in European or world class.

To make it perfectly clear - Hatton was the favourite over Magee. Witter was a HUMONGOUS underdog
Those fights were at similar times.

But If you'd like additional proof of this point, you can see Hatton dredge it out with wins over Urango, Tackie and Collazo.

Junior has looked shaky in himself every time he's not having things his own way.
