One of them is going to have to be the aggressive one. The winner would fight the winner of Malignaggi and Hatton.
If that is the case then depending on who wins or loses. We could end up with Malignaggi vs Zab Judah, a good fight for new york at 140 and Hatton vs Witter, something people were wanting before witter's loss to bradley.
I think witter's promoter is probably gonna haev him fight 2 more bums probably on a showtime undercard somewhere to set up a rematch with Bradley.
But the way zab's career goes with shot after shot he'll probably fight the winner of hatton and malignaggi
Yeah I'm sure Zab will get another shot, he seems to have family in fight promotions or something.
Witter will find it harder, Hatton will never fight him and Paulie as you say will definitely prefer a fight with Zab and big American publicity than a fight with Witter and next to no publicity.
I'd really like to see the fight made though, I'm intrigued as to how it would go. Realistically Kotelnick must be on the horizon for Witter, and there is a host of talent at lightweight in the uk, maybe one of them could be tempted up, I'm thinking more Murray or Castle here than Amir Khan obviously, although I'm sure Khan could still top that card facing Lenny Daws or someone.![]()
Zab isn't going back to 140lb to fight 2nd or 3rd best, he wants Hatton and that's where the big money is for him. The fat boy will beat Malignnaggi and eat his cake too and then if Zab wins his first fight back at 140lb take on Hatton. I have to say that will be a good fight!
I can see a March or April date being set for this match up.
That would be a very intersting matchup, but it won't happen. Zab's team is going to match him up with some C level guys until he can get another big or semi-big name into the ring. Zab is a big enough name to get those sort of fights. Let's face it, no one gives a damn about Witter. He is a dangerous guy with zero drawing power and generally boring styel. This is why those folks who blasted Hatton for not fighting him show they know nothing about the business side of boxing. Witter's last TV appearance was on Showbox, for godsake. Why would a major draw fight him given that he brings absolutely zero economically to the table?
Zab is as done as a dead dingo on the outback!![]()
