haha not sure if this is sarcasm or not but just the very idea that Hatton should turn down the opportunity to fight the universally recognised second best fighter in the world and arguably the most exciting and popular fighter of the age in favour of fighting Junior Witter just makes me laugh out loud.

What the hell is the point of Hatton fighting Witter? To prove he can be 140 lb champ again? Why does he even care he's already conquered that goal. Hatton went to the very top of the tree when he fought Floyd Mayweather. True that knocked him down a few branches but why after the effort of climbing should he get out the tree altogether and start playing around in the bushes?

Hatton vs Pacquaio is a fight that will be remembered in boxing history in 30 years time, two of the greatest fighters of today fighting in a huge mega event. It would almost certainly be the biggest PPV event of all time to not feature an American fighter.

But you think Hatton should turn that down for the opportunity to fight Junior Witter

If Hatton fought and beat Witter it would be a meaningless victory. What would that add to Hatton's legacy any more than beating Maussa or Urango?

He'd get less than half the money, it would zero impact outside of the UK and no impact at all in defining his legacy in 20 years.

Hatton's best options are the big money huge event fights. Pacquaio or De La Hoya make the best sense for Ricky, and after that a fight with Juan Diaz.

Bilbo, let me ask you this, what the FUCK is Hatton gonna do untill the end of this year? Just wait for Pacman to try and beat Marquez, which he won't, and then David Diaz? In the meantime, I think he should fight Witter who has been callin him out for years, and I feel has finally earned a shot at Hatton. I wanna see it.
