boxingchat wrote:effing pathetic, in my world if someone pisses you off you want to hit him anyway and you don't get paid for it. Hatton should stop trying to find a valid excuses for not fighting Witter as he is seriously losing his publics respect. Witter maybe dull and he may be technically boring but eff me he is the WBC Champion and deserves and wants the fight as do the majority of Great Britain.

Hatton is exposing himself as a charlie IMO and the old saying 'You can fool some of the people' is looking apt in this case.

Hatton has turned down loads of easy opponents in the past and will keep doing so whilst he is earning Millions, ultimately paid for by the public, who's champion he claims to be. Would he buy a box at City if they played Derby every week, I doubt it?

Boycott his mismatch and May and hit him where it hurts, not not his beer-filled guts, but his bulging pockets and he may have to reconsider.

What I can't work out is, he got brutally exposed by Mayweather, yes Mayweather beat him not Joe Cortez and was woefully outclassed in all departments, embarrassed even, yet he wants more of that yet the WBC title at his 'natural' weight is there for him against a fighter in the same mould, yet with 25% of the talent, and he doesn't want to know. It proves that despite having earned over £20M he still isn't prepared to take risks.

He and his yes-men handlers talk about his 'legacy' but until he gets Witter out of the way the only legacy he will leave is his constant avoiding of his local rival and WBC Champion - Junior Witter. If Lazcano, as they say, has drawn a 50k crowd already, which I doubt, then Witter would draw much more and then in the event of him losing to JW, which is doubtful, think how much he would get and the crowd he would draw for a re-match and, if victoriuos, a third 'rubber-match' - it would be huge.

"One Day" said Witter is hardly insulting to his male prowess is it. Maybe Junior should knock over his pint or even eye up his bird maybe - that may bring the man in Hatton out.

The while thing is becoming farcical but why YOU the pubic pay him to perform agsint the Lascano'sof this world then if it does not happen then you only have yourself to blame. Follow Witter, boycott Hatton and the tide may turn, rather rapidly.

See you in Nottingham then - at least it's got a roof!

Boxing Tw*t!!!

Whilst a lot of your post makes perfect sense you go slightly over the top about "Hatton losing the publics respect" - whether you or anyone else want him to there is no chance of that happening -

He is about to fight in front of 50,000 plus fans and the PPV figures in a nothing fight which I acknowledge it is - will be in my view very high indeed.

Team Hatton in my view should be the one for disgruntled comments - not Ricky - he is alright and in my view a dam good bloke who has been consistent with his views on Witter - it is Team Hatton who advise Ricky and he listens to them!!!

Witter needs Hatton more than Hatton needs him, Why? Simple - MONEY.. Witter may have 'The Ring Belt', WBC Belt and be undoutbedly a fantasticly talented fighter, but what he doesn't have is the crowd pulling capacity or the money earning potential.

Witter - if he truly considers himself No 1 shouldn't be so desperate to fight Hatton, he should perhaps:

1. Get a PR Consultant and stop being so annoyingly arrogant
2. Get his ass over to the States
3. Kiss Oscar De la Hoya's ass

Lets look at the basics here - Witter is what 32-33? Whatever he hasn't got too long left and is older than Hatton so he needs to 'cash in his chips' (ie The WBC/Ring Belt) to the maximum and ASAP. If he gets Hatton at Wembley he would arguably get 3-4-5 million as it would be on HBO. Whereas without Hatton he carries on fighting in the fecking Doncaster Dome/York Hall which are tiny venues in Comparison to Hatton selling out Manchester City football stadium.

That said I think Witter is a fabulous boxer but has a bad attitude. You didn't see Clinton Woods acting like that towards Calzaghe did you? If they did fight I'm sure there would be a lot of respect but with Witter there is none.

In that way I can see where Hatton is coming from "Why should I give this guy the biggest payday of his career when all he does is disrespect me?"

In terms of true dislike he's shunning him in the most real way. Nigel Benn refused to fight Eubank for a 3rd time when he heard Eubank was broke because he didn't want to help him out, sounds like Hatton is doing the same thing here...

So the choice is Junior - be nice and play the game and you might get a fight and a few million, on the other hand if you want to be an arrogant macho idiot then crack on mate, but you'll be doing it in the Doncaster Dome on shit money mate...

Its a no brainer for Hatton - why fight him when you can go back to Golden Boy next year have 2-3 fights and earn 10 million plus when by comparison you could get dragged into a domestic fight for less.... Hmmmm I wonder what I'd do... ?

STP wrote:But Benn had already fought him twice, to punch him in the mouth. He had the bottle. I clearly recall Benn's post-fight interview after his first fight on SKY, he said he wanted Roy Jones and to forget Eubank, 'He made me go to Italy - he aint getting no help from me!'. Eubank made Benn wait for three years. Hatton has made Witter wait for 10 years. Witter fought Zab Judah, one of the best lb4lb fighters in the world at the time, and won four of the first six rounds when Hatton hadn't even fought for the British title - having two world-class light-welterweights in Manchester and Sheffield for 10 years straight and them not fighting once would have sounded absolutely hideous if you said it 10 years ago... just doesn't add up.

Lennox was called arogant.

EVERYONE ran from Lennox for years.

Witter is a boxer and a person and I relate more to his perceived ATTITUDE than Hattons fake MOTP crap.

Celebrity Boxers like Hatton fcuk up the sport.

Witter should never kiss ass.

Witter deserves a BIG PAYDAY agaisnt HAtton but GREEDY Hatton does not want THE PEOPLE to pay him, HATTON is not paying him.


Hatton is out of control.

Fraud.
