Witter-dodger Reveals Truth - He'll Never Fight Witter

[Gandalf]

Why should Hatton fight Witter ? He doesn't need to fight him. Hatton needs to be chasing a big money rematch with Mayweather. When Witter fights and beats a genuine top boxer than maybe he can start spouting off.

I thought I was the only one who actually wouldnt mind seeing a Mayweather rematch! Everything indicates Floyd would do the same but we have strange thoughts sometimes.

I heard Hatton say this today on boxing scene:

"If Junior Witter was fighting in my backyard, I'd close the curtains"

Some of the stuff Hatton comes out with is Priceless

Witter needs Hatton, Hatton doesn't need Witter. Hatton has proven he's the number 1 at 140 pounds.

This is how big Hatton is:

Ricky Hatton is a bigger box office draw than Goldenballs David Beckham | The Sun |HomePage|Sport|Boxing

Hatton is the biggest ticket seller in the world FACT.

Great for Ricky Hatton. But the fact of the matter is that I personally think Ricky Hatton's career is coming to an end because he's not going to be able to make 140 comfortably anymore with his ridiculousy unprofessional weight ballooning and he's probably too small for 147. He's getting older and he's getting to that age (30) where his body will make it harder and harder for him to lose weight. He might be the biggest ticket seller in the world but he better start eating right, keeping a better weight, chill out with his widely reported drinking binges, and live life better 12 months out of the year because it only takes a couple losses for people not to give a crap about you anymore. You don't see Joe Calzaghe ballooning up to 200 pounds do you? Hatton in between fights probably weighs like 15 pounds more than JoeCal does

Hatton IMO will become the next Fernando Vargas. A boxer with great talent and star quality who simply couldn't take his career seriously enough to stay in reasonable shape year-round.

IMO Junior Witter is the only guy at 140lb that is worth fighting at the moment. It doesnt matter how big Hatton is (how many gulable fans ll pay to watch him beat up bums) the fact is Hattons carrer is done and dusted. He cant go up to 147lb as he cant handle the weight and the 140lb division is full of nobodys Witter is the only guy out there besides Paulie that Hatton can build his rep up with. What is the point in a PBF rematch Hatton got KTFO simple as that. Sure he makes money but the result aint gonna change one bit.

Hatton is still a one dimentional brawler and no matter what he does he aint gonna beat PBF. The reason he wont fight Witter is because he is a big threat Witter has power, speed and an awkward style that will give Hatton fits. If Witter were to stay right in Hattons face and not allow him the room to get his shots off like PBF did then Hatton would be in big trouble.

Don't ya get it, Hatton just has a genuine dislike for the guy....Hatton has also achieved all that Witter hasn't, Hatton is still loved massive in the eyes of the Britts, and, as has been said ... Witter needs Hatton for the dough, who else could Witter make big bucks off out there other than Hatton...Hatton has absolutely no fear of Witter what so ever...he just don't want him getting rich of he's name...

[Rican]

How come when a fighter talks tough and calls out another he is lauded and respected (a la Ricky calling out Floyd), but when Witter calls out Hatton all sorts of negative comments are hurled his way?

[Kirkland Laing]

Hatton knows if he fights him and loses to a guy who lives only 50 miles up the road from him then his entire career looks like a fraud, and he knows Witter has the style to beat him and make him look one dimensional. Because Hatton is the commercial goldmine and Witter definitely isn't Ricky will avoid him like the plague because he doesn't have to fight him. I thought that maybe if Ricky lost a couple on the bounce in future he'd fight him for one last big payday but now that he can sell 55000 tickets to fight a no-name guy it's clear he's never going to fight Junior. He's good at what he does but the fact of the matter is that he's a well-managed one-dimensional bottlejob.

It was the 2006 show, Ricky wasn't at the 2007 show was he?
