Good boxing skills, good movement and very good power that a lot of the time went completely underutilised IMO because of his awful spoiler style. Perfect example was against Corley. Simply terrible.

He would have starched Hatton I'd say, just cringeworthy to watch too often. If he was more exciting Hatton wouldn't have had an option on avoiding. People would have wanted it no danger. Everyone deserves a second chance at things for sure but Witter has had more than his share and won't be hitting the top any time. I'd glady eat a hat if he did.
I used to hate watching Witter. He obviously has the talent and reflexes, but would always hide it in a very negative style. Don't think that Hatton made a mistake in not fighting Witter, Witter would make anyone look terrible, and take away from the massive fights that followed.
