Word for the Witter fan club, no-one bar yourselves cares that he avoided Witter and no-one thinks that his record is manufactured, Datsue on that point is correct, Hatton could fight the anti-Christ and Hatton would be the villain.

But those who sit on the fence are starting to slip away from the Hatton camp and thats a worrying trend. And IMO some of the people round him need to look at this closely! This isnt some Witter nuthuggers going on that they hate Hatton((their opionions on the subject mean very little), this is becoming a trend

It goes back to PBF, too many people pushing Hatton in too many directions!!

99% of British Boxing fans wanted to see Hatton Vs Witter not just the 'Witter Fan Club'. For the record I'm not particularly a Witter fan... I'm a British Boxing fan.

100% of boxing fans wanted to see Hatton vs Mayweather and they got it so whats your point ??

That's total drivel Mark, who else do I 'slag off' other than Hatton?

You've only been on the board for 2 weeks, which probably explains how you've come up with an assessment of me that is soooooooooo far off the mark, Mark. I've been posting on boxing forums and with some of the posters on here since 2001 and that's the first time that's been said. I've been accused of being over-patriotic a few times though

True, but Hatton rarely lives up to his "Mr Excitement" tag that he gives himself does he? Hattons game revolves around 'mauling' rather than boxing or brawling and to me mauling isn't exciting, also he had the nerve to moan when Mayweather beat him at his own game.

I've never said Hatton is really exciting but you cant deny you would pay to watch Hatton over Witter all day
