Hatton just Fought THE BEST Fighter N the World, Lb 4 Lb... Now he's "Running" from Witter??? REED:dunno:
You know and i know he has been running from that fight for a long time. Yeah he just fought Floyd but look at all them overmatched old lightweights he went up against.
Tszyu, Maussa, Collazo, Castillo (an OVERSIZED "Lightweight" for SEVERAL Years)???:dunno: ... & as for Hatton "Running", REED DISagrees...REED Thinks Hatton is ENJOYING Making Witter SUFFER...There's NOfuckingWAY Hatton would Fight Floyd Mayweather IN AMERICA, No Less, yet B SCARED of Junior Witter:nono: ... U Can Call Hatton a PRICK for Doing what he's Doing to Witter, but Calling him SCARED is Offbase... REED
Hatton also got his biggest payday, and it's much more exceptable to lose to #1 P4P than to someone you're supposed to be better than locally, and who isn't even rated.
Plus, he could always move back down to 140. If he loses to Witter, there's not another division waiting for him.
Hatton had little pressure on him going into the Floyd fight. He was in the U.S. moving up in weight fighting the P4P best, and virtually nobody thought he would win. Floyd was one in that fight with all the pressure on him. Against Witter it'd be different. Hatton would be expected to win, and Witter is a threat to him losing in front of his home town fans. If you honestly think that the only reason Hatton isnt fighting Witter is cause he doesnt wanna give Witter a payday, then Ricky has you fooled as well.
Reed, you haven't got a clue mate. I've been following this thing for the past 8 years and you might be surprised to hear that its a UNANIMOUS DECISION that Hatton is running from Witter and has been. He's had ample chance to fight Witter and has really done everything in his power not too. I have SEVERAL interviews between them after their fights, early on in their careers where Hatton was guaranteeing that the fight was written into his contract etc. Witter wanted to fight him all along and PUBLICALLY put himself forward for fights when Hatton needed an opponent. Instead Hatton fought the likes of STEPHEN SMITH, DENNIS PEDERSON, ALDO RIOS, ETC. You have no idea of the history like I do, and your comments come accross as quite ill informed as a result. The world and his mother can see that Hattons avoided witter and is in fact SCARED. He knows Witter is a NIGHTMARE style for him and doesn't fancy the job. A blind man can see that Witter is an even worse stylistic match up for Hatton than floyd. Witter has one punch power and is awkward as hell with the switch hitting. He is scared of LOSING to Witter, which would undermine his entire career and his reputation in england. He knows how good witter is, as I did. (however, you picked corley to beat him if i recall). Hatton couldn't stomach losing to Witter by KO and it's probable that Witter could catch him and KO him very early. You might want to do some research before you make foolish comments. I'm sure you'd have a different opinion if you actually knew the history. Hatton has gone on record as saying he had the witter fight in his contract (said this to witters face), then said if witter wins a title he'll fight him and is now still running because witter "disrespected" him. Why do you think hatton is "enjoying making witter suffer". This is just Hattons excuse and unfortunately idiots buy it. Amazing how people can still justify Hatton ducking his main domestic rival and main world rival.
Agreed. It doesn't help that Lazcano hasnt fought since the harris gubbing either. Yet another lightweight for hatton.
I just find it tantalising, simply tantalising, that Hatton seemed to somewhat pride himself on fighting and defeating every domestic rival................... apart from one, a capable, quick-handed, power-puncher who can switch and fight from a southpaw stance.. Albino's for breakfast, that's what it means.
Always thought Witter would be a handful for Hatton, but can see him fading and being stopped right now.
You and lb4lb are spot on, there's no shame for Hatton in losing to PBF, but if he lose to Witter, it would be devastating careerwise. By avoiding Witter at all cost, Hatton is starting to look like a major pussy.
If he loses to Witter, it undermines his entire career. He's avoided Witter for so long now that if Witter KO'd him, it would look TERRIBLE for Hatton. The groupies would have to admit that maybe he didn't fancy the job and thats why he was avoiding Witter. Hilarious that he is promoting himself as "man of the people", yet won't give the people what they want
Imagine Mayweather refuses to fight Cotto because, "he disrespected me by calling me out". I'm sure the reaction would be different
Maybe that just means he drinks as much as his Carling swigging/pie-n-kebab-eating loser football-watching mates down the pub? ::
Probably in Harrods shopping whilst Witter is down at his local Asda. I gotta agree with brother Reed on this one, there is no way Hatton is scared of Junior he just enjoys watching him pine after him.
lidl :: :: Yep, there is nothing wrong with Asda at all. It actually has generally better fish than Waitrose, and nicer bread. Waities has the best creme fraiche, cheese and meat though.
I have this long-running argument with my Mum and a friend of hers who both staunchly defend Lidl and Aldi and accuse me of being a 'food-snob'. They come up with arguments that both supermaerkets are better than Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda or wherever when it comes to fruit and vegetables and stuff. Freaks.
Mayweather basically is doing the same thing Hatton is doing. Refusing to fight the best guy in his division. Only difference is Mayweather just doesn't talk about it or even try to make an excuse.
Fucking hate those adverts. Making out that normal general-public scum can cook up dishes like that when they quite obviously can't.
Agreed entirely, but you are wasting your time with logic. The Hatton hater's will hate, whatever the reason. What is VERY annoying is that, with the obvious exception, absolutely NO ONE was making these accusations before the Floyd fight. In fact, most people were ripping Attraction to pieces for 'bigging up' Witter, calling him (Witter) and bum and whatnot. Now, suddenly after beating a shot Vivian Harris, he's some kind of monster who has Hatton shitting in his pants... :dunno:
