Hatton Inquiry

I see Ian darke said something about the Hatton inquiry during the Hatton fight, he’s been listening to me to much

Sky news and the papers still go on about the Hatton inquiry and DR allegedly,

Allot of questions need answering,

1 Why does warren needs Showtime to say yes to make a Witter -- Hatton fight, is it all about the green

2 Will Warren be willing to send Hatton over to America to fight a top name (Mitchell, Judah, gatti) with his cut problems?

3 why is Mickey Mouse always the third man in Hatton fights 9 times in 11 fights is silly

4 Hatton still hasn’t proved he is the best in Europe,

There is also allot more questions need answering,

Good points Chris, Witter-Hatton is all about the cash, Witter didn't impress the Americans against Jurgen Haeck so they aint interested, us Brits cannot have a decent matchup without it appealing to the yanks, basically money talks.

Cannot see Hatton going to USA any times soon i'm afraid and not to face any of those names, he will wait for the lesser names (Phillips, Weiss, Lleija etc) to be old enough to just fight for pay checks and bring them to Manchester.

After the Stephen Smith fight there was an inquiry and it was agreed that different referees would be used as a result of the trouble in Hatton's fights, i'm with you on this one as it has been Vann ever since? Weird.

Hatton mentioned he was interested in a fight with Oktay Urkal which would be okay, at least it would settle the European issues as you say he has not yet proved anything in Europe yet. Warren said Lleija had declined the offer, Tackie had lost his last 2 so he was too hard to sell to anyone other than the knowledgable Boxing fans and it looks to me like it will be Omar Weiss. Tough fighter but hardly one to get the pulse racing is it?

Hatton needs guys who punch back with authority to make him think, Rios had no power s Hatton simply walke though him all night, when he fights a decent punchers then he needs to use the jab more or he will get picked off for fun. At the moment talks of Tszyu seem a million miles away and i would stay away from Judah like the plague.

According to The Mirror today, warren is trying to make Hatton/Witter for the Dec date - as long as Showtime say yes after seeing the latest tape.

Too much to hope for? Maybe with all the stiffs warren offers up to Showtime as opponents, Witter will start to look more attractive..

Well we know it won't be Leija or Tackie, highly doubtful it'll be Urkal who defends his Euro title on saturday so that really just leaves two fighters - Omar Weis

and Witter.

C'mon Showtime let us have our pre-Christmas fireworks, we've bloody waited long enough for this fight.
