i hope he retires a string of defeats wat the end of his career will make him look a bad fighter when people look back in 20 or so years.

I dunno about the last sentence, he hurt N'Dou plenty of times when Lovemore was thought to have one of the best chins around. Sure his power did seem to lessen quite drastically as the rounds went on but early on he had very good power imo. I seem to remember him hurting Corley in the second round before they started posing at each other??

Witter has very strong legs, he was clearly draining down a bit to get to 140 in the later years.

he'd absolutely merc matt hatton. bang him out SOOOOO harshly.

We will see if it ever happens. I'm not saying Matthew Hatton is awesome, but he's improved a hell of a lot and Witter is now 36, not fought in over a year, I personally think Hatton would beat him

Whoever he faces next, there is a long line in front of Hatton.

Agreed. It's a shame he had to wait so long to get his shot at the title. By the time he got it, he was past his prime. I beleive he did have genuine power though: I mean he did floor and hurt Lovemore Ndou. Something big punchers Cintron and Cotto failed to do. I just feel as he got older his speed, timing and reflexes were on the wane. With a style like his, once you lose those attributes, you're in trouble as you don't have sound fundamentals to fall back on.
