For those people saying that Hatton is waiting for Witter to win a few more fights and build up the PPV - Ricky said he doesn't want to give Witter the payday so that argument doesn't really make sense. Making more money will mean more money for Junior.

I am beginning to think that there is something to the 'ducking' claims.

Now is the perfect time to make the fight, after a tune up to regain some confidence.

If Hatton doesn't fight him there will always be a question mark IMO - he is clearly the only guy at 140 who can pose a threat although Devon Alexander looked really good the other day and could pose problems in a year or two.
