Hatton has said he will not fight Witter cuz of Witter's past insults. But that's a lame excuse. As is the payday excuse. Since Witter has said he would take the smaller purse to fight Hatton. I think it's more of a case that Hatton sees Witter as a live threat. And he would absolutely hate to lose to Witter. Witter would never let him forget it. Hatton doesn't have the confidence that he can beat Witter like De La Hoya had when he fought Vargas. A fighter De La Hoya said he would never give the opportunity to fight him
