To much risk.Scared he will lose

People keep saying about how Hatton fought Mayweather, Tszyu, so why would he be scared of fighting Witter ?? its simple folks because Hatton had nothing to lose fighting Mayweather, Tszyu. He has everything to lose fighting Witter, Hatton would never get over losing to his bitter rival and etc. Hatton fans argue that Witter isn't that much of a name at the moment, well i will return that question back to the Hatton fans and say what name did the virtually unknowns Collazo, Urango, have ?? and why was Hatton considering fighting Rees then ?? face it everyone knows Witter is 2nd or 3rd best Jr Welterweight in the world, Witter is now fighting Hopkins in USA so if Witter does a good job on Hopkins then what will Hatton's excuse be ?? sorry but i think this is BS. Witter deserves his shot vs Hatton its a fight the fans want to see, who else can Hatton fight ?? Paulie ?? Paulie did not impress in his last fight and got a highly controversial decision, so i doubt Paulie will take a fight vs Hatton, Rees ?? Torres ?? both of these guys are even less of a name than Witter is, Witter is the most dangerous fight for Hatton at Jr Welterweight, Hatton knows it so do most of the fans, he knows he has everything to lose against Witter so he will try and avoid the fight as long as possible, and will hope that Witter loses to one of other top Jr Welterweights.
