We aw what he did against Tszyu, he launched himself head first in against one of the games top punchers!
Why would he fear Witter?

It is possible that he does not wish to chase Witter, who despite all his demands for this fight, would box defensively on the back foot.
At his age, maybe he feels that he has a lot to redeem and a fight against witter, which would surely be a boring ud, would do little to enhance his image or emboss his legacy?
I have a theory Donny. It isnt necessarily right but it could be the reason Hatton dont wanna fight Witter.
True Hatton has fought Tszyu and PBF so why would he be scared of Witter. The thing about Tszyu and Hatton is that they are both great fighters and are future HOFers, losing to them probably wouldnt do a great deal of harm to your legacy because they are great champs.

The trouble with Witter is that he is not well known, is awkward as fuck and may just be good enough to beat Hatton on his best night. If this did occur it'd do massive damage to Hattons legacy and moneymaking ability. Also it would mean that Hatton would not be seen as Englsnds best fighter anymore.....
This is why fighting Witter may actually scare Hatton more than fighting PBF or Kostya. Remember just a theory.
