Right I've steered clear of this because I'm getting really bored of it but I'll throw my two cents in to hopefully clarify some points.
Whats annoying here is that some of you don't acknowledge that the other has a valid point.
1. Hatton has done much more in his career than Junior and Junior has pissed alot of it away chasing a fight that hasn't happened. What has probably pissed him off even more is that until now, nobody has listened to his bitching and whining and its pretty pathetic sometimes. I also find it interesting that some of Hennessy's fighters claim to be avoided even though they don't always do their best to make the fight. (I've read some interesting things in Boxing News about Thaxton-Khan lately). Witter needs to wake up and accept the fact that he's not doing anything to sell himself. Why not go and force a fight with someone Hatton has beaten? He could have sorted out a deal with Paulie while Hatton was still dealing with the loss. He's an idiot and has made himself look like a mug.
2. I'm a big Ricky Hatton fan and I cannot fucking stand Witter. However while it's all well and good to say that you think Paulie is a better fighter, fact is fact and Witter has done more to prove himself at 140 than Paulie, and so has Torres for that matter. If Hatton wants to keep his crown as the #1 at 140, he's going to have to accomadate the #1 challenger to his crown. Hatton cannot make these excuses forever. I completely understand him taking the Lazcano fight, but really Witter should be on the undercard with a view to a megafight later in the year, not Paulie. And saying he's not deserving enough doesn't really cut it in my book anymore.
That video Bilbo showed really riled me. If someone goaded me like that, I'd tell my promoter to make the fight happen immediately. I don't understand why there is such a fuss about it as I can't see how Junior can beat Ricky. Hatton is a better fighter.
