Cotto's welterweight belt is on the line!!!

[Majesty]

In 2005 Witter was rated no.5 best lightwelter on the planet by The Ring. Over the next couple of years, after winning the WBC title, he rose to no.1 best lightwelter on the planet according to The Ring.

If you are rated no.1 by The Ring it pretty much makes you a top fighter, right?

Now don't get upset ElTerribleMorales, my intention was not to "own" you, about Pac at flyweight, just to merely inform.

People intend to not acknowledge people for their wins but when they lose use it as proof that they would lose to their favorite fighter. Never say a word when Witter was beating Corley and sparked out Vivian Harris, but now will scream to high heavens years later that he'd never beat Hatton because of how he looked against Bradley. Well given how Hatton looked against Mayweather and Pacquiao it could easily be said its just as plausible that Witter would have KO'd him. But those days are long gone but at one point Witter was one of the top light welters in the world and his recent losses won't change he was in that position once in his career regardless.

you mean the same Corley who had already lost to Judah, Mayweather, and Cotto, and would go on a 5 fight losing streak after the Witter fight? and the same Vivian Harris who had lost to the oh so talented Carlos Maussa by brutal KO , and barely won in a lackluster fight against Lazcano just prior to the Witter loss? please i've always said that Witter was utter crap, said that when he actually stepped up against DECENT world talent he'd lose, and surprise surprise, he lost to Bradley and now QUIT against Alexander, i don't think much of Hatton, and think that Hatton would have owned Witter at any point of their careers, if he didn't ko him, the pussy would have just flat out quit, he's utter garbage, perfect example of a dude with a big mouth and not enough skills, heart, or balls to back it up

You could say the same about Hatton as the only world talent he stepped up against was a past his prime Kostya Tszyu and lest we forget the two times he stepped up against a Decent world talent in their prime such as Mayweather or Pacquiao he was knocked out and even against Collazo was getting the heck beat out of him but got a close controversial decision. Comparing to Witter who lost a close decision to Bradley and then to Alexander who is an up and comer and quit because of an elbow injury sorry if I'm not a "warrior" but I'd rather pull out of a fight im obviously very behind in when my elbow was injured rather then continue on and risk ending my career. So to call Witter a quitter in that situation is ignorant, he made a smart decision to pull out of his elbow was a problem. Whereas Hatton was knocked out twice Witter lost a close decision and then pulled out of a fight due to injury and to me those two things are a lot better then getting sparked out twice when you finally got to the world stage and considering Witter didn't have a gigantic hype machine behind him trying to build that because he beat a blown up 135 pound Castillo and a 49 year old Vince Phillips was merit for him to beat Mayweather only to get KTFO. So I'd say Witter did very well for himself. And no matter what people say about Witter, know for a fact that Hatton would have never stepped up and fought Zab Judah on a weeks notice. Witter deserves a lot more respect then he's given whether you're a fan or not he was one of the top junior welters in the world ans yes Hatton DID duck him. So the fact all the Hatton fans want a diss him and say he sucked only makes it look worse for their man
