Witter in negotiations to fight Hatton...

[Gandalf]

I hope Ricky fights Witter. Gets back in training within a short time span and sparks this gobby twit out something proper.

Then Ricky has bounced back!

[Tam Seddon]

Witter hasnt been as gobby as PM recently. I think he will get a Hatton fight, personally I think just that one more belt will get him the fight.

Would love to see Junior Witter spark Ricky Hatton out as well

[El Gamo]

Does Witter actually have a chance of winning? I ask because I've not seen much of him. I know he's a counter puncher,isn't that a good style v Hatton?

[Tam Seddon]

He will give Hatton a good run, he has good power as well. But he has got what Floyd had and that was just that natural amazing boxing skill and the evasion of punches etc. He knocked Harris out but if Colin Lynes can really push him and was unlucky to loose, I think Hatton can do it, the fan base would really intemedate him as well because I dont think Witter has ever had that before, such a vocal crowd against him.The crowd does help as well, you ask any liverpool football player that !

I think it depends how positive Witter fought. If he was aggressive and really put on his best show I reckon he could not only beat Hatton but knock him out as well.

If he got negative and over cautious though as he is prone to do he could well be outworked and may even stink the place out with a really negative showing.

But I think being a world champ himself and destroying Harris as impressively as he did will have given him confidence. There will be big question marks regarding Ricky Hatton now as well so I think Witter comes in confident and beats Hatton up.

I dont see this happening to be honest. Harris was a has been, he got KTFO by Maussa and hasnt done a lot since then. Witter is good but he doesnt have the agressivness to him like Ricky does, i would think RH would be able to outwork him and stop him with a body shot. Witters best bet would be to stay on the outside because he would never have felt power like Rickys. Hattons chin is good as well.

Did'nt Hatton say same about Mayweather? sure he said 33,000 are coming to watch me and he's got 33 so people would come and watch you know it really i think you don't want this fight because you know your guy gets KO'd and you could'nt live with that

I'm fine with it being made. Lets hope it comes off. Either Witter or Paulie. They are the 2 fights Ricky should look at.

Its a good fight you may hate Witter but he's number 2 in the world mate if this fight comes off we have a good bet

Did you see the build up to Witter's last fight?

Quote "I have dreamed all my life of fighting in the Doncaster Dome" (Doncaster is like the 1000th biggest towns in UK, basically a nothing place" holding what a few 100 fans?

At the same time Ricky is fighting Mayweather in Vegas with 2.5 million plus PPV

Are you serious Ricky needs Witter ? ha ha ha

Haha reminds me of Peter Manfredo being proud for packing out the Dunkin Donoughts Centre when he fought Joey Spina

Hatton is an HBO fighter, Witter fights in front of crowds of 1000 in Doncaster. Americans remember him (if at all) for stinking the place out against Zab. HBO will not be interested.

Fights not featuring an American don't make money for HBO, even when both guys are champions and unbeaten (see Calzaghe-Kessler.)

[NUCLEAR BULL]

this would be the wrong fight for hatton at the moment, he shouldn't take this one just yet i thing witter would beat him at this point
