What you've got is a 30 year old switch hitter who makes very average fighters look silly with his style and calls out all and sundry for fight..!
Witter has fought 1 current or ex-world champ in 32 fights..
How the hell does this give him any credentials to even be considered for a title shot let alone one of the best in Europe...? eh..?
In the last three years he has mixed with handy journeymen at best, to mention some names..:
Alan Bosworth - Lost 10 fights at the time and currently has lost more than he's won.
David Kirk - Lost 29 fights at the time now he's lost 52..
Fred Kinuthia - only a year ago had 8 wins and since then has lost his last 6.
I could pick out possibly 2 names from Witter's resume that stand out, obviously Judah and maybe Bergman but other than that his opponents have been hand picked to make him look like the next Hamed...
Now it may be that Witter is a good fighter but how the hell can anyone know this when he hasn't mixed it up with any semi-class fighters....apart from Zab and we all know what happened there....
Showtime refuse to broadcast a fight with Judah in it which is why you'll never see him on the same bill as Hatton.
Final Comment
I am not comparing Witter to Hatton simply because you can't. Witter has the record of a journeyman (if you look at calibre not losses) and Hatton has mixed it up with ex-world champs and top ten fighters (hopefully a title shot....
) But to me they are both at totally different stages in there carreer and remember Witter is 30..
