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...

I completely agree with you there. If he dunt get Castillo next then there is no excuse apart from pettyness. I doubt he could get Witter this year anyway because he'l have an obligation to fight either Lazcano or Harris right??
Basically if he doesn't get Castillo in June he won't be fighting Witter this year. I believe Witter's next fight to be Diego Corrales or is that no longer the case?
