CC Sovereign, you make alot of good points about the two, especially with regard to Witter defending against someone high in the WBC rankings. The one thing I disagree with is how much of an international star you make Hatton out to be.. He's just trying to name a name for himself in the states now, he's not there yet. And yet in the same respect that goes right along with your arguement as to why he wouldn't benefit from fighting Witter, who hasn't tried to do the same thing. BUT, one more Juan Urango or Carlos Maussa, or rather if he doesn't fight CAstillo next, I see no excuse as to why this fight shouldn't have already happened. If you think for one second either of his last two opponents were high profile American fighters that people knew in general, it's simply not true. Witter could have subbed in for either one of those guys and it would have gathered more interest. Over half the crowd each time was Brit's who made the trip over anyways, you think that the total interest wouldn't increase if it was a Hatton Witter fight? Besides that it's all up to HBO, if it's a unification fight televised people will watch it...
