I dont see the problem?.... why shouldnt he challenge him to a fight after he's been 12 rounds?!!... theyre all big boys arent they??. What about the things Hatton saiud about Mayweather in the run up to their fight??... that actually made Mayweather want to fight Hatton in order to shut him up!.... thats why Mayweather will go down as an all time great and Hatton wont I'm afraid...E wrote:Well, I get your point but HAtton was approached after a gruelling 12 round fight.NorthEastBoxingFan wrote:i only saw that the other day for the first time I can remember, and it was pretty rude indeed, specially as rick had just done a superb job of beating thaxton........did he not cut badly in that fight after 30 seconds?
but it's hardly a new trick is it and no worse than turning round to the P4P best in the world and staying "stop playing with me dick under the table" on daytime TV.
it's hypocritical and that's all there is to it.
So Junior attempted a gate-crash job, he came across a bit arrogant........get over it. I don't even think he used ONE obscenity , he just calmly told Hatton he would destroy him if they ever fought (he probably would) and ACTUALLY congratulated Hatton on his performance.
If Hatton don't want the fight don't take it. I WOULDN'T get my boat punched in to entertain anyone if I was sat on 20 million quid. B*llocks to that.
But that's no reason to make up a load of excuses IMO. (if indeed that's what he has said - i haven't heard it from him in person I'm going off what people on here are reporting him to have said).
Chuck Matthew in I say, he's just been in the Boxing Monthly telling the nation he's aiming for a World Title.....give the lad a late Christmas present. He's overdue a fcking live one.
Not only that but THaxton was Witter's stablemate and so it was even more classless.
The timing was terrible, inexcusable really.
After a 2 round blowout maybe but 12 hard rounds against your own stablemate.
THat is too far.
