It's not even debatable, Hatton ducked Witter for nigh on a decade and he used every excuse in the book and more
yeah he ducked him to fight easier fights like tyzsu and mayweather :lol:
That's a bit unfair that, what about the four years inbetween Witter calling him out and the fight with Tszyu?

You seriously telling me that John Bailey, Carlos Vilches, Rios, Stephen Smith and Dennis Pederson were bigger fights??

I'd loved to have seen it because I am now certain that Hatton would have won

Tony Pep - I agree, should have fought Witter
Jason Rowland - decent domestic rival, no problems
John Bailey - I agree, should have fought Witter
Freddie Pendleton - Past it but brought more to the table money wise
Juston Rowsell - I agree, should have fought Witter
Mikhail Krivolapov - Was quite highly ranked by a couple of the alphabet organisations so it made sense
Stephen Smith - I agree, should have fought Witter
Joe Hutchinson - Was a decent fighter, no problem
Vince Phillips - Past it but brought dollars to the table, makes sense
Dennis Pedersen I agree, should have fought Witter
Carlos Vilches - I agree should have fought Witter
Michael Stewart - Was an IBF eliminator so it makes sense
Ray Oliveira - Never had a problem with this, Ray was a tough fighter and had never been stopped before
Carlos Maussa - fortunate champion but held a belt, brought more to the table than the beltless Witter
Luis Collazo - see Carlos Maussa
Juan Urango - I agree, should have fought Witter
JLC - Money fight, nuff said
Juan Lazcano - I agree should have fought Witter
Paulie Mallignaggi - Witter held no title, Americans were interested in the Paulie fight, more money hence why it happened
:D

sg1985 wrote: why cos he got beat? the fight was competative as long as it lasted to say he was washed up is daft
The fight wasn't competitive it was a one-sided 4 round beat down from Ricky. Excellent performance from Ricky, but people are quite right to question what JLC had left in the tank. He was extremely lucky to get the nod in his previous fight with Herman Ngoudjo and JLC was plagued with weightmaking problems towards the end of his career (and prior to Ricky), so his dedication can also be brought into question

The names in bold all brought more to the table. Collzao and Urango are still welcome on US TV and produce in title fights. See Berto-Collazo.

What about Rowland that was a good domestic fight between 2 prospects.

Rowland was quite an established name back then as a former British champion but was still a decent fight.

It's not going to happen.

I think the reason is that Hatton's wish not to lose to Witter outweights his desire to beat him. If that makes sense?
