Think you`ll find many many fighters within a similar situation would "bleat" on about the ref much more than hatton ever did. What do you think mayweathers reaction would of been had the ref allowed hatton to constantly trade on the inside and duck every time floyd went to hit him

Avoid witter??

Hatton loathes witter and doesnt wanna see the guy earn his biggest pay day by fighting him. Hatton also realises that a witter fight could potentially be a nest egg for him to retire on and before anybody claims im contradicting myself may i point out that at no particular point in hattons career has witter been a mandatory contender to any of his belts!!

witter didnt have to be he was wbc champ himself hattons nothing the division at the minute
if he loathed him when not beat him who cares if he gets money for it or not as long as you prove your point and hurt him good

oh ye floyd would moan

however kostya was fouled alot against hatton and never said a bad word about him afterwards i was glad tszyu was beaten that night but we all know it wasnt the fairest of fights so you cant play double standards

A wbc belt means shit. when your considered number1 by ring magazine your number 1. People have held versions of world championships before and not even been in the top 15 rankings.

Hatton-Castillo didnt fight because there was an IBF light welterweight title up for grabs. They fought because they were recognised as the best 2 fighters in the division.

As for hatton-tszyu:

it was one of those old fashioned slugfests that BOTH men were happy to be apart of. Of course your going to get the odd low blow or head trade. Thats what those kind of fights are all about!!

Since you put so much weight on it (and I'm feeling petty) Witter was no.1 contender to Hatton's ring belt.
