Hatton doesn't have the confidence that he can beat Witter like De La Hoya had when he fought Vargas. A fighter he said he would never give the opportunity to fight him
Yep but you forget he also does not want to give Witter a payday and why would Ricky Hatton be scared of losing after who he's faced

Also Ricky takes those comments Witter makes about him to heart and very personal but Mayweather did not, he's not like Ricky as PBF just seen Ricky as another opponent to get through and he used the usual trash talk no different.
If that's the case than Hatton's being a sensitive little bitch. There's nothing wrong with Witter's methods. Insulting a fellow fighter is very common. This is boxing. What was Witter suppose to do? Bring him flowers? Take him out to dinner? Come on now. Hatton is considered number 1 at 140. Witter is considered number 2. At the worse 3. Make the fight. And Hatton not wanting to give Witter a big payday is a bullshit excuse. Cuz Witter stated plenty of times that money would not be an issue. He would take a small purse just to fight Hatton.
