I love Rick, hate Junior but at this point in time i feel he's achieved enough and Nearly earned a shot at Hatton.

I disagree that the Malignaggi fight would kill both i really do.
But great posting as always taansend i owe ya a CC, ya legend!

Rees wouldn come within a mile of Wiitter me thinks.

You never know. I just think that Witter and Malignaggi would spend half the fight looking at each other. Witter has skills but needs someone coming at him. A Malignaggi fight might be ok if they're both established but at present they both have a rep as defensive/cautious fighters and that doesn't sell in the mighty US market.

Witter has 2/3 years left so needs to fight exciting fights NOW! He needs to fight 3 or 4 times in the next 12 months and look good in each one otherwise people (IE media) will just bring up the Judah fight again.
I reckon he might have a bit more than 2-3 left, he's not a fighter who takes a great deal of punishment so his longevity may not have been hurt as much as most fighters. One things for sure another loss would cement the "Judah Theory," and thoroughly ruin his career. Malignaggi is capable of attcaking tho, as displayed in the Cotto fight, although i would give Junior the dge in power so it is quite possible ud be right about a bore fest there.
