That was a counterargument from a fan. I didn't just say the American fighters, i also said other countries. Yes he did make a living fighting nobodies in England but why didn't he ever step up and fight Witter. Witter didn't just start calling him out yesterday, he's been. But Hatton kept taking fights with has beens and no names in England. He took on washed fighters that went over there instead of a real threat like Witter who would have made him more money than any other person he faced with the exception of possibly Tszyu. And thanks for helping my point, HE said he didn't want to fight another countryman but spent his whole career doing it?? Make sense, i think not. He has one of the most padded records in boxing, that is fact. He did come to the U.S. NOW to make a name here and this is the first fight he's actually facing an opponent people see as a threat to him even though Castillo hasn't looked too stellar as of late, i still think it'll be a good fight. A fight with Witter in England is a HUGE payday if they fought over there don't kid yourself, those arenas are huge. He seems like a really cool guy outside the ring and he's a humble and respectful fighter before and after, that i like. But his career is nothing even close to calling great and his picks for fights are very VERY suspect, the proof is in his resume.
