During a recent interview on Sky Box Office to speak about his wresting match against "The Big Show" at Wrestlemania XXIV, WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. was back in full character when asked about possible rematches with Oscar De La Hoya, tentatively scheduled for September, and Ricky Hatton, eyed for next year in London.
Mayweather won a split-decision over De La Hoya last May and stopped Hatton in the tenth-round of their welterweight bout last December.
"Ricky Hatton, what does he do? He's a boxer, he's one-dimensional. Floyd Mayweather 'the entertainer': versatile. So he'll be sitting at home, and if you're listening, tune in and buy the pay-per-view," Mayweather said.
Mayweather had similiar comments for De La Hoya.
"When you mention Oscar De La Hoya you mention an ordinary fighter. When you mention Floyd Mayweather you mention an entertainer who isn't afraid to go out there to take a chance, take a risk, to go out the box," Mayweather said. "I want to push myself to the limit."
