Quote: Blobbynator "Pretty much spot on. Let's be honest, Ricky Hatton will sell out COM Stadium against a reasonable fighter, but a fighter everyone expects Ricky to comfortably beat. Ricky is a huge draw and everyone wants to fight him. Ricky will pick out the very best fighters, but also the ones who are likely to draw big money all over the world, particularly in America. Witter simply doesn't do that at the moment, despite his credentials in the ring.
Witter needs to stop whining and do his business in the ring and I'm sure Hatton will look up and take him more seriously. It only takes one big win to propel you on to the world stage. Look what the win against Kosta Tszyu did for Ricky.'"
Hatton and his team have never fancied the Witter fight, that has nothing to do with commercial reasoning, it is purely because Witter is a smart operator who has all the tools to give a come forward, easily hit fighter like Hatton all the trouble he needs.
The shame is that that takes away what the British public want to see.
