In about two weeks, November 4, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. will meet WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir in Las Vegas, Nevada. He spoke with The Sunday Times , regarding potential opponents Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Shane Mosley.

Mayweather and De La Hoya are still going back and forth in media with respect to a possible clash next May. The fight is up in the air, but Mayweather thinks the fight will happen. He feels that if any of the top fighters, including De La Hoya, Mosley or Hatton, want to be great - they must fight him.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton or Sugar Shane Mosley. If you want to be the best, you must pass me. All roads in boxing lead to Floyd Mayweather. This is the sport of Floyd Mayweather. Just put ’em in there and I’ll beat ’em, one by one. I’ll be the last man standing. That’s what I’m all about,” Mayweather said.

When pressed about a why a bout with Ricky Hatton fell apart, Mayweather said that it was Hatton who made the bout fall apart, because of unrealistic purse demands.

“Listen, I’m not even thinking of Ricky Hatton right now,” Mayweather said. “We tried to get Hatton before we put together this fight with Baldomir, but he asked for $13m. He asked for Floyd Mayweather-type numbers, which is impossible for him to get. Fighters like Hatton don’t compare. I’m one of the best fighters ever to put on a pair of gloves."
