Mayweather targets Hatton!
Floyd vows to beat him all the way back to England.
"Ricky Hatton has talked nonstop about fighting me for the last two weeks," says 'retired' WBC welterweight/super welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather. "He has disrespected me and my accomplishments in the ring, and I take that very seriously. I'm going to give him the opportunity to step up and fight the best in the world. I don't think this punk will take the challenge." A potential bout against Hatton would set the stage for a match-up between two of the sports best undefeated fighters. With his win over Castillo, Hatton improved his record to 43-0 with 31 KO's. Mayweather is 38-0 with 24 KO's. "Now that Hatton has opened up his big mouth, he might start to think about what he has been asking for," continued Mayweather. "Does he really want to step into the ring with best fighter of this era and embarrass himself? Being the coward that he is, I doubt he'll get in the ring. We'll see what his excuse will be this time."

Lets get it on, This is the fight that boxing needs.
They have bitched about each other for years and years but never got it on because Mayweather said that Hatton wasn't big enough in the US to step into the ring with him, Well now lets get this fight on for the end of the year.
Floyd can easily make the 140 limit so why doesn't he come back down and fight the true champion at 140 rather than the show champion he fought the last time in the division.
Hatton will do what De La Hoya tried to do for the full 12 rounds, Lets see how Floyd likes the body shots.
