Who Should Witter Fight Next?

[Kev]

Was actually surprised to see people voting for fighters other than Malinaggi. I think a witter Malignaggi fight could be more exciting than expected and it would also prove as an eliminator to fight Hatton.

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.

I agree with a fight with Malignaggi is the most attractive but we are talking about his very next fight here and he doesn't want to jump from a tough fight with Harris to fighting the number 2 in the division in the next fight.

A fight with Rees would be easier to organise and once Witter had two belts around his waist his marketability would imrpove enormously.

Fight Malignaggi now and Paulie gets the lions share, fight him as a double world champ and Witter has way more earnings potential.

True enough, but a fight with Rees may damage his credibility, i mean the Americans aren't gonna rate Rees now are they? Although finacially a good point.

Witter's opponent before Harris was Arturo Mura and the before Corely he fought Colin Lynes. Rees is on the same kind of level with the advantage of having a belt. Witter is an extremely unmarketable fighter and nobody really wants to fight him. If he had two belts it would mean the best fighters would pretty much have to fight him, and as a double world champ he couls command the best pay deal as well.

If he fights Malignaggi, Judah, Hatton, Torres etc now they would all make more money than him. With another belt he'd probably make more than all of them except Hatton.

Plus there's also the fact that Gavin Rees as a world champion is an embarrasment for any UK resident outside of Wales. He's a joke. I'd much rather Witter held that belt.
