When Witter was offered the Judah fight at late notice, was Hatton offered the fight?
When Hatton was the WBO mandatory challenger, was he offered the Corley fight?
Was Hatton ever offered a Witter fight?
Was there any truth in Hatton's story that he had a Witter fight written into his contract?

When Hatton was the WBO mandatory challenger, was he offered the Corley fight? YES
Was Hatton ever offered a Witter fight? MANY TIMES
Was there any truth in Hatton's story that he had a Witter fight written into his contract? YES, BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE HAD TO AGREE TO ACTUALLY DOING IT. HORSE TO WATER AND ALL THAT. IN HIS DEFENCE FOR THE MONEY IT WOULD HAVE TOOK TV COULDN'T MAKE IT WORK AS WITTER MEANT NOTHING. HATTON WILL NEVER FIGHT WITTER, HE DOESN'T FANCY IT AT ALL.
HATTON WANTED MAXIMUM REWARD FOR MINIMUM RISK. MAYWAETHER, FOR BIG BUCKS WAS THE EXCEPTION.

Yeah I agreeDavidPayne wrote:I think Witter should really go for it by really offending Ricky to get the interest. He should be on every site, paper, radio show, television outlet etc telling the world Hatton has chickened out, he should be ringside goading him, mocking him - hell it cant do any harm.
He should become MR VISIBLE, wherever Hatton is he should within 10 feet.
The more Hatton said he didn't want the fight because Witter insulted him, he should have done it ten times worse not backed off.
Do you think they would answer the phone to him?Twinkle Toes wrote:I don't :)
Witter has done enough trash talking and it has gotten him no where. If he was to go into overdrive with it, then I suspect Hatton would dig his heels in even more.
Hennessey should really be in touch with the Hatton's on a regular basis about getting the fight made, and I dont mean by pushing out press release's none stop which appears the normal Hennessey way.

So Tszyu and Castillo were little risk fights?

I thought it was Tszyu's shoulders which were bad, not his knees?boxingchat wrote:stujones wrote:Boxingchat.

Tszyu = Two rounds in nearly three years, knees were shot to pieces. Hatton publicly said he wanted it so he got it at the best possible time due to Warren's timing and cash.
Castillo - Remind me what weight was he at his best? considered a shot fighter by all those in the trade. Good name for the CV but little risk.

SN & Witter don't have to like each other, they'd just have to work with each other... It's the only way I can see for Junior to get the exposure he needs to force this fight.. Fighting in front of 2000 people in Doncaster just isnt gonna do it.. If there's one thing FW can do its get his fighters mainstream publicity....Chambers2 wrote:Its surely not after the way Witter was treated last time by SN.chief wrote:To stand the best chance of getting this fight made, Junior should be back with allegedly allegedly allegedly...

Witters tried talking Hatton into the fight and it didn't work, hes tried being respectful towards Hatton and that still didn't work, so fcuk it!! If Hattons going to avoid him then Witter should be making sure every man, dog and armadillo knows what Hatton is doing. He should be screaming his name from the rooftops, taking out adverts in papers, he should be taunting him from ringside, turning up to the Phoenix gym in bus full of journos, do some more punditry for Sky and Setanta and bellow "HATTONS STILL RUNNING FROM ME!!!!", hire a plane with a banner to fly around, try and get an interview with a local Manchester paper and diss Hatton....... etcetra etcetra etcetra
Hatton would love Junior to shut his fcuking gob, so that he can continue to avoid him in peace and quiet. I don't think Junior should give him that luxury.
I'm appalled at Hattons avoidance of Witter and Junior shouldn't be making it easy for him.
I don't see why the fact that Witter fought in front of a few thousand in Doncaster last time out should effect his chances of fighting Hatton. Sparking Harris BIG stylee and fighting Hopkins on USTV and Sky should give him the exposure he needs, plus hes the joint best in the division and holder of the WBC title.chief wrote:SN & Witter don't have to like each other, they'd just have to work with each other...

A little harsh your assessment on the Tszyu situation - the man was injured, he couldn't have really got in at a much different time. Had Hatton was probably ready for Tszyu when he was on the sidelines.... before that Hatton wasn't ready, and he would say that publically.boxingchat wrote:stujones wrote:Boxingchat.
