If Juan Manuel Marquez is looking for a mega-fight, he just might get in the form of Ricky Hatton. If he beats Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in Las Vegas, Hatton is willing to fight Marquez next in the UK. Hatton fighting Marquez would still depend on whether or not Floyd Mayweather Jr. is willing to come out of retirement. The odds, and Mayweather's asking price, make a Hatton rematch unlikely. Marquez-Hatton is easier to make because both fighters are under the same promoter, Golden Boy Promotions.
"There are plenty of good fights out there for me if I was to beat Pacquiao. Juan Manuel Marquez wants to become the first Mexican to win titles at five different weights. There's him and I'd be a liar if I said I don't think I can get another crack at Floyd Mayweather Jr. Manny won't be my last fight. Hopefully I'll have a homecoming in the UK - against Marquez or Mayweather," Hatton told PA Sport.
Hatton is not overlooking Pacquiao but he feels the Filipino star will not be able to stand up to his punches, especially to the body.
"It's a shame you can't be inside me and see how confident I'm feeling. The reason why I think I'm going to win is that I've seen Manny drop to body shots from smaller men a few times. I've seen him shaken up by head punches. Bear in mind I'm the biggest fighter he will have fought against," Hatton said.
