I myself am unsure as to the hesitation in this fight.

Billy Graham is an astute trainer, perhaps he is aware of the stylistic consequences. Win lose or draw a fight with Junior will be an ugly one for Hatton and will be by no means crowd pleasing. At this stage of his career Hatton again finds himself necessitating a fight in which he can make a stamen. Similarly to the Holbaek Pederson fight before Tszyu, Ricky now needs a fighter whose style will allow him to be knocked out in an impressive fashion and confirm once again that Ricky is world class.

Fighting Junior will not provide this pleasure as although I feel Hatton can clinch it, I too feel that the switch hitting awkward style of Junior will frustrate Hatton and result in a dirty ugly fight which could do more damage to Hatton's public appeal than the possession of any title could do good.
