well imo witter is what ud call a lazy bastard and relys too much on countering shots rather than putting pressure on and throwing first this may well cause him problems as by the time ricky is hitting him hell be in close and witter wont be able to use his reach and if it becomes and brawl like tht there can only be one winner, hatton. however i also think it would all depend on how witter performs on the night he has looked ordinary recently but did perform alright against corley so maybe he just gets himself up for the big fights who knows. so overall i think witter COULD beat hatton but imo he wont do if this fight comes off and for hatton avoiding him it may just be cus his a humble shy guy well thts how he comes across in interviews and i cant see him being very confrontational outside of the ring. i dont believe that hatton is ducking witter as he has no reason to.

hope this helps, bit of an essay i know lol just once id started kept thinking of other points
