Secondly, Witter's fans and Witter seem to imply that Hatton is afraid of Witter which based on the fights he has taken on thus far in his career is out of order.
Thirdly, Witter does not seem to grasp the sad truth that boxing is a business and as such, marketability is important. As much as saddo's is well know, I doubt we'd be able to fill the MEN. That leaves it to Joe public to get interested and I just don't see it happening that's all.
Who else is he going to fight in a bigger event though? Especially if it were to take place in the UK, Witter could easily be the best opponent for him from a financial standpoint. The only other big fight I've even heard discussed involving Hatton was against Pacquiao. And that's not too likely imo.. Neither is Hatton fighting any good welter's again. Doesn't leave a lot on the table if you ask me. I think fans like you suggesting he should just ride off into the sunset fighting handpicked opponents is a lot more unreasonable than people who want to see him fight arguably the only other top fighter in his division sometime soon.. If he doesn't, really what big fights do you see him taking to end his career? Should he just go out on the same note he rose to prominence? Maybe he should get back with Frank Warren FFS.
