Look at the posts on here, ask people, what they think and they ARE losing respect for Hatton due to his constant BS regarding the Witter situation. His excuses over the years have not been consistant at all and a new reason appears every week. Team Hatton do make the decisions I agree, but ask yourself who is the boss of team Hatton? What would Team Hatton do without their boss, eff all and be nothing. Hatton makes the decisions and cdhooses to hide behind people who know FA about Boxing, people like you, Spud, yes men in a free tracksuit. The bottom line is, if Hatton wanted to fight Witter and really fancied the job, he would whether his gravy train drivers agreed or not. He IS Team Hatton and hiding behind them is a very transparent excuse indeed unless your rose tinted glasses need a polish.
Boxing Tw*t - as always your post deserves a reply:
Lets get down to reasonable debate - because I really do believe you are wrong about Hatton losing the respect of the British Public - your post implies the majority are in dissent - when in reality it is a minority that either visit these forums or who work or are involved in the sport in some way - the majority of the public who know f*ck all about boxing whether we like it or not are well in favour of Ricky Hatton.
As always my argument is very simplisitic - if I am wrong I will ask you a question - when Hatton was a rising star I will actually argue your paymasters struggled sometimes to fill the MEN unless you filled the undercard with some decent ticket sellers - you also did what happened a lot at the MEN - made very good use of the black curtains!!! - I would also argue the only time the MEN truly sold out was for the KT fight!!!
Now Ricky Hatton has just returned in my view from a right pasting from Floyd Mayweather - he is in a nothing fight with Juan Lazcano YET THE FIGHT IS GOING TO BE SOLD OUT WITH 50K PLUS - ticket sales, TV revenue and memorabilia will gross obscene amounts and certain people I and others despise so much will be laughing their b*llocks off and will be able to make a number of bonfires with the piles of money they are going to make - that to me is not Ricky Hatton losing the respect of the British Public!!!!
Furthermore Boxing Tw*t - my rose tinted spectacles have been lost for a few months you will have to trust me on that - my 2nd trip to Vegas last year enlightened me to an awful lot and made me realise boxing is really not worth getting stressed out about there are bigger things to worry about - I will say again regardless of what you and others think I learnt an immense amount in the last 8 years - so keep the personal sh*t out of things!!

For me he beats Witter all day long, Witter will fade and go into running mode, it's in his genes he won't change. if Hatton stays off the beer long enough and trains for it he would beat Witter hands down and what a sweet victory it would be for him personally, before he moves on without any publioc pressure. So why doesn't he give his public what they want, maybe for a few quid less I grant you, but eirther way more than he would have got for Castillo and Tszyu due to his increased standing. Give the public a real present, as it was they who swelled his purse to bursting point by buying record PPV for his Mayweather humiliation and they who paid the extortionate mark up on the tickets from HIM (Via team Hatton) so why doesn't he genuinely put something back and give his loyal fans and the sport what's required.
The above is answered very easily indeed - Ricky Hatton does not want to fight Junior Witter and more importantly he does not need to from a financial perspective or a popularity perspective!!! - Ricky is like you Boxing Tw*t he thinks he can beat Witter so there isn't even that incentive of not knowing to entice him to the negoitiation table.
Until the GENERAL public and not just the boxing public - and also until the MEDIA turn on Hatton and demand the fight there is no f*cking chance whatsoever of the fight ever happening!!!
Boxing Tw*t I think it is a shame but me and yes I will admit it even me and many more others on here want to see the fight happen - but we are boxing fans - even if you did a poll in bloody Bradford and asked them who Ricky Hatton was and who Junior Witter was I bet you we all know who would come out more popular - it is sad and it is wrong because Junior Witter deserves the fight but no f*cker knows him and that is another reason why the fight won't happen - some will blame Witters promoter for that one!!!

So yes Spud the public, outside the Manchester area, ARE becoming bored with it and ARE losing their respect for him - and I for one think he will regret it some day and it will tarnish an otherwise great career.
I have to say your very last line is the one I agree with - Hatton will learn to regret not fighting Witter - and you have just touched on the very reason and the only reason left why there is a crumb of a chance the fight might still happen.
