    Nah I can't see it, it would be nothing on the scale of, say....Lewis v Bruno or Eubank v Benn. They were pretty huge over here, you know, when you could watch boxing on TV (fuck I miss those days)

    Nah i don't think so. Be a very good fight but not quite on the scale of Benn -Eubank, Bruno - Lewis

    Hatton - Khan would have a better shot imo maybe 12 months down the line.

    About the two chicks in the picture. I have a birthday coming up if you're looking for a gift. Always been a big fan of British boxing. I thought Joe coming out of retirement to take on the young lion would be big. Guess I was wrong. I wish to thank all my British brothers for posting on this thread.

    Agreed, McGuigan v Pedrosa was huge too on free TV.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    This fight could never be bigger than Eubank v Benn..Froch is a good fighter but he is'nt in the same league as Joe to make it a massive fight of such proportions!!

    Hatton v Witter would ceratainly be up there tho!

    Are you serious? Not enough people in Britain would give a shit. Hell, not enough people in Bradford would give a shit. Hatton vs. Khan would generate so much more public interest.

    I'm completely serious...this would be a massive fight in the British Boxing Calender!

    At this moment in time both Hatton and Junior are out on a limb and in the wilderness...with Witter getting a shot at the WBC belt it could be a credible way of getting Ricky back in the mix if he wins it!!

    It would certainly be a sell out where ever they fought and to suggest otherwise

    It would generate massive PPV figures if not only for the reason Hatton fans would to see Ricky shut Junior the Fuck up...for once and for all.

    This fight most definitely would'nt come second to seeing him fight Khan....no way..they would probably both be on a Par and generate massive purses...especially with the history of animosity between both men!!

    Amir does'nt even come into the equation at the moment for me,regardless of what bullshit he has been spouting today he has'nt got the pull of a fight between two of the Countries biggest rivals!

    No one knows who Witter is, yes Hatton should of fought him but Hatton v Rees would be just as ££ rewarding as Hatton V Witter no one cares about Witter, Hatton v Kahn is much bigger fight.

    Don't be so ridiculous...to even mention REES in the same breath as Ricky and Junior is...now that would be 1 fight hard to sell

    At this point in both of their respective careers to deny that it would be a fight that would get fans wanting to see them especially with the History of abuse that Junior has passed Ricky's way virtually unanswered would definitely get the punters up for it...LETS FACE IT HATTON FANS WOULD PAY TO SEE HIM BEAT A DUSTY RUG!
