I hope its the former and not the latter.

Hopefully the latter and Barrera stops Hatton

You not a Hatton fan?

Maybe Hatton should have picked Anthony Mundine for a vague bit more interest. Barrera is such a weird choice.

Boy is he thick as fook.

Talking about Witter… he says he didn’t wanna fight him because he was pissed off and didn’t wanna give him a chance then 3/4 lines later he finishes the chapter by stating he always wanted to fight him but the timing was never right.

At the time I think it was Hatton ranked number one with Eamonn Magee 2 and Witter and Thaxton at 3 and 4, Hatton Magee and Thaxton all fought eachother, and Witter wouldn't fight Magee , I think because of the stagnant years Hatton had with Warren and the WBU it kind of went into history that Hatton ducked Witter even though Hatton was always a step ahead and had moved on by the time Witter stepped up to world class

Didn’t both hold world titles when Witter beat Corley?

Witter was so rude and disrespectful and he knew the only payday was Ricky. Remember Ingle and Witter after the Hatton-Thaxton fight? Especially as Jon had put up such a good fight and was a stablemate to Witter. I can see why Ricky didn’t want to bring him into the millionaire’s club

And Ricky’s management steered him away as Witter was a dangerous fight.

I would’ve liked to have seen it
