Ricky Hatton; Good Call.

[Tins06]

See from my point of veiw Hatton was hoping someone would floor witter before Ricky would have to deal with him.

In other words Ricky didn't want a nights hard work for really speaking zero reward,apart from the title but theres 4 others there so he's not exactly got limited options.

At the end of the day like you said he made a good call.

I mentioned him to Ricky before, he said something along the lines
"I'd stop him, he knows that and he still wants money."

Brendan Ingle said to me;
"Boxing is about making money, if you're going to get hit in the head, you might aswell be paid for it."
and
"Every fighter has a limit and the money they can make, but if they can bluff past that, they've made a profit and it hasn't hurt their repuatation." (Rees.)

Name a fighter that isn't in it for the money?

Ricky's BEST excuse for dodging Witter has always been to prevent him from a huge payday. He GENUINELY dislikes him. So stopping Witter from cashing in was the worst thing he could possibly do to him.

"Fighters want to fight for titles, but not as much as we want to fight for MONEY." Roy Jones jr

I personally think Hatton made a mistake here I have wanted to see the Witter fight for years and now looks sure it will never happen,

had Hatton fought Witter instead of Juan lacuzo he would have had the opportunity to say he is going straight in with the best at LWW and had the Witter that turned up on Saturday turned up Hatton would have blown him away and looked good doing it

I don't think there are that many great fights out there for Hatton at the moment (Malignaggi is made for Hatton)

I would have loved to watch hatton destroy Witter at COMS and financial and for this legacy it would have made sense to go straight in for a title fight particular if he was so confident
