Hatton statedin the build up to his fight with JLC that he would only be fighting big names now, so he only has 2 real possibilities below 140! agree?
im not couting out witter to be honest, I just think he needs that one more win and then he asserts the fact he can have a Hatton fight. I think the champions should all fight each other and sort it out and Hatton gets in there. I dont no, ill give a better choice after I see PM and GR get on. JW needs a fight now though, not a Hatton one.
Technically hatton is the best at 140 but n all honesty who has he fought since kostya to really prove that. Maussa,urango, and castillo.Right now i dont think hatton is the best. Ithink witter beats him and most likely stops him. All im saying is if floyd gets heat for not fighting the "best" welters then ricky should get it for not fighting the best juniorwelters. Realistically beside DLH who would be the most challenging opponent for hatton. Witter and PM. But i bet he would pick PM before witter.Why? cause he knows even though PM is a good boxer he is short in the power department. He knows he'll b able to rough him up like cotto did. But he knows witter is a totally different monster. Witter has earned his chance but he probably wont get it.
I don't think Ricky Hatton has ever claimed to be the best fighter in boxing history.
