Is Hatton actually scared of fighting Witter?

[THE THIRD MAN]

Hatton hates himso much that he does not want to give him a pay day.

If i hated someone that much the first thing i would want to do is punch him in the face! Hatton is stalling and his excuses are wearing thin, he needs this fight to regain credibility that he is losing everyday this fight is not made. I can't see his problem, i think he would smack Witter around for about 8 rounds before stopping him, it's very strange.

Credibility is a transient thing - it's that old adage of 'only being as good as your last fight' aint it?

Give it 12 months and I'm sure the landscape will look different. If you bear in mind the Floyd fight was in the making a long time before it became public, then it puts into context why some things happen and some things don't.

HBO and GBP don't sign you up and 'just see what happens'...
