The notion that he owes it to anyone to fight a guy like Witter who would give him a pathetic payday even in England is silly. Hard core boxing fans (and I include myself in this group) have entirely unrealistic expectations in terms of the types of fights that should happen.
How many opponents are there more economically viable than Witter? Possibly Gotti at MSG assuming HBO will pay for it. But Hatton vs. Witter at a football stadium in England at two dollars to the pound is right up there with any other prospective fight.
