After talking about Mayweather i thought i might as well give you the latest on Ricky Hatton. After his defeat to Floyd in december Ricky Hatton has been very slow to announce what his next move will be, and understandably so, considering the manner of his defeat. After his loss the Hitman has been called out my numerous opponents including Malignaggi, Gavin rees and of course Junior Witter.
Even before the Mayweather fight, Witter had been calling for Hatton, but for some reason, Ricky has never acknowledged the Sheffield fighter. After his defeat in Las Vegas, Witter was one of the first to demand a shot at the Hitman but was once again refused, with Hatton citing that he didnt want to give Witter the 'biggest payday of his life', but isn't that what Mayweather gave the Hitman? Also, as mentioned before considering the manner of his defeat, wouldn't this bout be the ideal response to restoring some pride for Hatton. Or maybe the thought of loosing is playing on his mind. Whatever the reason is, there is only so long you can run from a boxer clearly calling you out, so Hatton knows he will have to square up to Witter at some stage. When that happens it will surely be a great fight for the spectator, just like the Eubank vs Benn days.
Here is old footage of when the two met up, you can see who is more on the fight.
