I hardly call what he did ducking Hopkins. Witter has just come back off of holiday and the fight would have been in four weeks. I think Witter would be looking for a massive fight or an easy defence, Hopkins would fit in the grey area between the two.

I'd see witter posing a few problems for hatton with his speed and punching power, but seriously, i've seen him fight a few times, and apart from knocking out and old vivian harris, he stinks, and the best example of this is against Corley, that was one mundane performance when he said he will impress.

He's a total spoiler, slinkin and holdin and tryin for a big shot here and there with hardly any workrate. He came up against someone with decent workrate in T Bradley and got schooled. I think its time someone stitched his lips together. Hope Alexander schools him too.

what has witter ever done to deserve a fight with Hatton ? Nobody outside of wincobank would walk across the road to see Witter fight !

Hatton smashed his way to a world title whereas Witter slinked and slided and eventually managed to outbore DeMarkus Corley !

Hatton goes for the win and on his worst night would have beaten Witter , witter lived his life in the shadow of Hatton and after his crass classless behaviour towards Hatton I say good!

Hatton was a breath of fresh air for this sport , junior witter was a local potshotter who lost to Timothy Bradley !

Enjoy obscurity Witter whilst Hatton enjoys the trappings of success real success

Personally I dont think Hatton was ever the same after Tszyu , but he is still 100 times the fighter of Witter.

Ok, I haven't posted about Witter before but let me just put it on, Witter you are sh>t compared to Hatton, I watched your fight against Bradley and i don't know what the f..k you were tryi ng to do with that that snake style Kung fu but it didn't work and made you look like a prick IMO. so just let it go, Hatton has wore his heart on his sleeve, what have you done, and I'm not a Hatton fan.

Witter has a loud mouth who hasn't done shit. Even a shot Hatton is much much better than annoying ass Witter at his peak.

This fight makes as much sense as calzaghe fighting froch before carl went over to the states. How many times do you british fight fans need to be told. The money men in this sport work for HBO/Showtime not sky sports and setanta

The same money men - HBO/Showtime - that REFUSED to buy Hatton-Lazcano? Did it stop the fight happening? That's just ANOTHER Hatton excuse his apologists bought.

Witter is not worthy

Hatton spent nearly 10 years shamelessly ducking him. At Brit level, through his never-ending WBU run, and then into genuine world level. Only Tszyu, Castillo (although ancient, because it was stateside) and Floyd were justifiable better opponents than Witter in all that time.

Hatton "cleverly" bottled the fight. Simple as. There would have been no multi-million pound Las Vegas jamborees had Hatton proved to be only the 2nd best 140 fighter in Britain.

Fenster is right. The whole "I don't want to give him the pay day" is a weak excuse not to fight Witter when some would argue Witter has a legit shot at beating him. Hatton has fought other opponents who were not big draws since Tsyzu. So the ducking argument has some credence. Personally, I think Hatton would have beaten Witter, but it's now a case of we will never really know. Shame really because it could have been a very decent domestic fight.
