In fairness it was the worst case of ducking in recent times, Hatton only got
away with it because of his fanbase, I'd like to see Witter win this, I think he'd take Khan out as well, Hatton still wouldnt fight him though...
Gonna have to disagree with you on this one, the only reason that Witter was even in the same frame as Hatton was that he was nearly world level and that he was at the same weight.
Since Witter got hold of his belt, Hatton's always been looking at bigger and brighter stars than Witter. Witter's main problem is that he has no fanbase at all, so he has to go through the mainstream rankings, as he doesn't bring the attraction of fans and money to the table. Hatton fills out the City of Manchester stadium and gets dragged to Las Vegas, Witter's fighting at the Doncaster Dome, and travelling to the States to Rancho Mirage.....
That's a bit off Rhun.
Their rivalry started when they were at Brit title level (2000). Witter may not have a huge fanbase but do fighters like Lazcano? As you said Hatton fills out the City of Manchester stadium - it doesn't/didn't matter who's in the other corner. The only justifiable fighters Hatton fought that were better, more "deserving" than Witter were Tszyu, Castillo, Mayweather and Pac.
He ducked Witter bad.
