Witter calling Hatton's bluff

**albsur2006** · 03-04-2008 06:32 PM

It's extremely funny to me how the fans of Ricky Hatton, one of the dirtiest fighters in the world, are crying and whining about what Floyd did in the fight. Floyd got away with some questionable stuff but every fighter gets the benefit of the doubt at one point. Lord knows, Hatton has. Hatton talked almost as big a game as Floyd Mayweather going into the fight, saying Floyd wasn't a big puncher, a pussy, and would run all night. Well Floyd roughed his ass up and then knocked him the fuck out. Why can't you Hatton fans and Ricky Hatton himself for that matter just deal with it and move on? You can cry for EVEN MORE months about Floyd's illegal tactics, whatever, Floyd didn't knock Hatton out with a forearm or by ducking down. Hatton was rushing Floyd and he just got caught clean on the chin. Stop acting like Hatton is even on Floyd's level anymore. I know you'd still like to believe that but he's not. Let's face it, EVEN Zab "I can't fight a full 12 rounds" Judah lasted 12 rounds with Floyd. Hatton needs to stop binge drinking and eating and get his life and career back on path and stay dedicated to the sport year-round. Then he needs to go face the guy who's calling him out, Junior Witter, before Hatton becomes the British version of Antonio Tarver. A loud mouth with delusions of grandeur whose only claim to fame came from one shocking win over an aging, past his prime star (Tszyu).

I don't think there is any chance of him turning into Antonio Tarver,

I pretty much thought Hatton had moved on. I don't actually recall him moaning about being ruffed up anyway. He said it happened, but he would have done the same. Thats analysing, not moaning. There's a difference.

What I dont get is that Hattons Fans moan and whine about how he got a raw deal with the ref in the fight against PBF, yet the biggest win of his career (kostya) was one of the most biased refereeing jobs in history. Hatton was allowed to hug, cuddle, wrestle, low blow as much as he liked and not a word was said by the ref.

My point is when the ref is on Hattons side its ok, but as soon as a few things dont go his way the opposing fighter is a cheat and the ref should be made to retire.
