He was WBC champion wasn't he?

He was also a boxer that, at his very best could trouble the very best (including Hatton who avoided Witter), I also doubt he would have been flattened ala Hatton style due to the fact he has a pretty good chin.

He was never in hattons class,did you see who/how he won the WBC belt???
He was far too negative,i admit he could throw some good combinations but nothing special.
The guy he lost his title to was nothing special either and he out boxed witter for 12 rounds.
It's strange you say he wouldn't of been flattened hatton style because he was never deemed good enough to fight that calibre of opponent.

Hatton will be remembered for fighting and beating a "on the slide" Kosta Tszyu.

He will also be remembered for being flattened whenever he jumped upto world class, dont let the handpicked journey fool you.

could say the same about calzaghe

If you think Shitter would have beaten Hatton prime vs prime, and your a tool.

Witter is 35, and still using that Brendan Ingle style of using his reflexes instead of tequnique to defens himself. But, you can only use that style for so long before age catches up with you.

Anyway it serves him right for completly overlooking Alexander, and concentrating on Khan and Hatton.

I was never fooled but he fought at a higher level than witter could dream of and won some great fights.
Mayweather and pacquiao were just too good and a step too far but he still beat some quality boxers and "ducked" no-one!!
Witter was a poor version of naseem hamed all mouth,awkward and the odd decent few punches but like him found out very easily.

It didn't help that non of the big names wanted anything to do with Calzaghe for years.

He beat some great fighters and retired undefeated mate.
Calzaghe is one of the best fighters the UK has ever produced imo.

When they did they got beat

To be fair Nas could have been an all-time great if he'd have had the hunger, and heart for boxing. His power at the weight was unbeliveable at times.

He had no plan B though mate when he stepped up in class he looked clueless and arrogant.
When he was banging people out he was punching from all angles and built his pressure but when he fought barrera who had a good chin and solid defence and could also pack a punch he loojked way out of his depth ala hatton against pacquiao and mayweather.

Hamed was a genius, who had lost the edge by the time he fought Barrera, I would put Hamed up there with the very best the UK have ever had.

Hattons bubble burst way before the Mayweather fight, he lost his previous two (although got them on points - money talks in the States) having been battered by Urango who gave Hatton a nightmare.

I also gave Collazo the decision but again politics talk.

You see,you say hattons path was hand picked hamed was fighting has beens and never will be's for years.
He had some great skill and power no doubting it but when he fought barrera both were deemed in their prime but hamed got caught up in his own hype and his handlers blowing wind up his #rse!
The fights with collazo and urango are your opinion and you should know how hard it is for an "out-sider" to get a decision state side.

ahh Junior Witter


undisputed world champion if he could talk a fight

Just a side note put freddy roach in hattons corner and he'd be looking forward to another mayweather show-down imo.

Talking from your own experience in the ring Loz?

He's the undisputed "hobbit" world champ you know and a legend in the shire!

Nas was never a World Class Boxer he was another one who believed his own hype and when he came up against an Elite fighter that was the beginning of the end...

Ramrod Im a lover not a fighter

im taller than Dannyboy

HTH

Obviously are talking from experience in the ring then!!

get off your blueberry Ramroad, arent you due to march soon?

I really wish Hatton had taken Witter up on one of his numerous offers of a fight - IMO he would have completely destroyed Witter and shut him up for good. Hamed, though arrogant, was always great to watch, and behind the arrogance was a nice bloke - met him once, bizarrely enough, in a Blockbuster video store in Sheffield. Unbelievable power for a small bloke.
