Junior Witter/Devon Alexander

[DG.]

'Men settle their arguments in the ring'.
They do indeed - unless your elbow hurts of course

hatton has had plenty of elbow trouble over the years.

remember those shots of hatton in agony during the mayweather 24/7 build up.

fights thru that pain.

Fights through the pain?

Ya arse licker.

If Mills lane was the ref for any Hatton fight we would never have heard of Wricky.


Hug and hit - hold and hug, repeat re bloody peat!

I think it's easy to say 'Hatton's badly on the slide' based on his terribly loss to Pacman

It isn't just the loss though, Jim. It isn't even the manner of it - though it's partly that. It's the terrible camp before it and his self-indulgence since which has reached new depths.

I heard an interview with him on Cockney station Tawk Spawt this morning and although he trotted out the same 'nothing to declare' bits and bobs, he just sounds like a man who has had enough but can't face calling time on it. And anyone with a heart can understand why if this is the case.

Who knows though - I'd love to see him knock the pop and pies on the head and come back with genuine fire rather than a fried breakfast in his belly. But I'd hate to see a Hatton shell step through the ropes and get bashed up just for money.

Yes me too. I too question his psychological fitness. He's a multi-millionaire who likes the live the good life, and those two combined don't make for great determination and hard training. He's been training long enough to get into fairly good shape, but at top level, that's just not enough.

My other concern is that he will sit it out for a year or longer, before making a comeback, another 12-18 months of pissing it up, gorging himself on ginsters cornish pasties, and generally acting the goat, and we could see him coming back at welterweight and getting smashed to pieces, or killing himself to make 140, fighting Khan, and quitting on his stool.

If he is going to come back, I think it needs to be within 6 months, otherwise it's only going to get harder to get motivated, not easier.

I personally think Witter and Hatton were around the same level.

And Shaka you're a Hatton nutthugger and full of poop, Maussa was always a joke, its just Harris messed up against him. Harris beats him 99 out of 100 times

Like i said....the full fight between Maussa/Harris is available on youtube. Watch it and you'll see Maussa control the fight from start to finish. He was even finding time to take the p*ss out of Harris in there at times. The man was having fun at the same time as kicking crap out of Harris. How you can come to the conclusion that Harris would have beaten Maussa 99/100 after watching that i do not know.

Maussa wasn't a joke, he was a wild and dangerous puncher and he was a dirty beggar aswell. Although his style was far from textbook, it was effective. He gave Cotto a decent tussle, being stopped on his feet on a cut. He was far from a joke. Funny how Harris NEVER showed the remotest bit of interest in a rematch with Carlos to clear his record up.

I'm full of sh*t and yet you are the fella peddling nonsense about Harris beating Maussa 99 times out of 100...this despite Carlos spanking Vivian like he was his father, maybe watch that fight again and get a clue mate

What Harris fights have you seen other than the Maussa fight, (which he weighed in at 134 pounds for)?

Both his fights against Urkal, M'baye, Robinson, Hurtado, Witter, Johnston.

It wasnt weight which cost Harris against Maussa...that loss had more to do with him being completely clueless how to deal with Maussa's unorthadox attacks. He kept getting whacked to both head and body eventually getting KO'd.

People talk like that fight was a fluke...and yet Harris never went anywhere near Maussa again which tells the story. And a quick rewatch of the fight shows that Maussa bossed the fight from basically start to finish.

Harris was a tidy, technically sound boxer with fairly good power and respectable speed. Box him in the conventional way and he'll do ok, but unorthadox, awkward opposition gave him major problems.

Mills Lane, the same guy who allowed Holyfield to use the head little bit too much in the fights he reffed. The man who was said to have cried when Holy' lost to Bowe?

The one who threw out Akinwande.


Legend has it that even John Ruiz and Akinwande said Hatton goes too far with the hugging.

Even Huggy Bear changed his name in protest - he was quoted as saying.

'Man, my name is Huggy Bear but even I dont condone that amount of hugging - as of now I am Mr Bear - dat Hatton done mess up my flow - that chumo be giving us Huggsters a bad name'

So legend has it!

Back on topic, Hatton Vs Witter.....if either fight again!

I think if Hatton fought Witter now Hatton would KO him in the middle rounds imo he still some left imo I think a Hatton body shot will finish the fight

You know DG if fat lad had boxed Witter instead of all those fantastic in the primes and no where near past it up and coming prospects who was fighting in there natural weight divisions this topic would not have gone on this long

Ian - just out of interest what would you base 'most, if not all would beat Hatton'.
I ask because only 2 fights ago against Malignaggi, Hatton looked very good.
Suddenly after getting knocked out (very early) against the best fighter in the world he would all of a sudden lose to all of these fighters like Khan etc etc???
I agree maybe he should not fight again but I for one am interested to see what he has left.
For me:
Khan - W KO 8
Bradley - W SD
Alexander - W UD, come on Witter made him look better than he is
Maidana - W KO 6 in a war

I take your point, Kev. I just think there's been a lot of dirty water under the Hatton bridge since Malignaggi. I'd be amazed, looking at him now, if he could get back in decent enough physical and psychological shape to take on hungry, young, able fighters. Khan is quicker than Paulie, Bradley and Maidana probably stronger and Alexander a good all rounder. But this isn't about how good they are - it's about how far back Hatton might have gone in a short space of time. Hey, he might be fine, who knows?

careful you don't get splinters in your arse off that fence there Ian :P

[HughJohnson]

When Hatton has a bad day he get knocked OUT! Never happened to Witter on a bad day.

Better to retire on an injury ( genuine) than be beaten to a poop in the ring and heabutt posts.

Also against Bradley he hung in there.

Hatton is a bully, whe he has a bad day he holds on all effin night!

Hatton got KO`d because he was fighting the best fighters of our generation at thier peak.

Witter would never headbutt the ring post because he would of already waved his white flag and be sat in british airways flight 313 quaffing champers.

Yeah...against Bradley he "hung" in there alright...and you critisize Hatton for hugging


Hatton is a bully in the ring because he`s there to fight, Witter runs,leaps in then holds on.....I find his style is more dash than flash.

Hatton would bully Jnr around the ring for 8 rounds before Jnr packs up and trotts off home playing tunes on his pipe whilst you little rats follow....

Lazcano - Magee - Collazo all had Hattonin troubel. He could and would just as easily get crushed by Torres - Holt - Clottey etc.

Now go back to your basket.

How can i take what you say seriously when you picked Witter to KO Alexander in 3.

There was more than one pussy surrendering that night......
