Thats totally different from Pacquiao to Hatton plus Maxim weighed 17 more pounds than SRR.
Wandering into dangerous territory here, but those people that handle the heat better would be black people.

He is NOTHING more than a belt holder at 140. He's not undisputed champ. He doesn't have ONE significant WIN to his name. Hatton beats him it ranks alongside his wins over Maussa, Collazo (not as good) and Urango.

Pac is a boxing GREAT. Enough said.
Oh how different the story is now.

When Junior Witter was a belt holder, he deserved his shot.
Yet Junior was never pound for pound was he?
What significant win had Witter?

Yet you yourself demanded the fight must happen.

Malignaggi is different why?
Thats the fight the fans wanted to see at that time because Witter had been caling Hatton out for years so people wanted to see Hatton get rid of the critics and fight his nemesis. Now Witter lost to a mediocre opponent that fight is no longer an interest.

As for your statement regarding the heat Donny i have never heard of that, all i know is that Robinson could of died from heat prostration, and he clearly was winning the fight until that happened, plus Maxim had a massive weight advantage thats why Maxim doesn't as much credit as you think he does deserve.
ICE with all due respect, I don't know many that actually want to see Witter fight.
They wanted to see Hatton fight the leading LWW.
Right now that Malignaggi.

Funnily enough I don't actually like Maxim. He was trained by Jack Johnson for a while so I tried to like him, but I just can't.
I feel the reason that Robinson tied so badly was because of the vlume of work he invested in the fight and the punishment he administered.
Maxim took it all in his stride (because of size) and would have stopped Robinson if the fight had gone on.
