Fighting talk from Floyd

JJay18y ago

Floyd Mayweather Jr. insists he was unimpressed with Ricky Hatton's knockout victory over Jose Luis Castillo, ahead of their expected December showdown in Las Vegas. 'The Hitman' called out the world's number one pound-for-pound fighter after his stunning fourth-round stoppage of Mexican Castillo in June, extending his record to 43-0 in the process. Mayweather is also unbeaten though, carrying a record of 38 wins, with 24 by way of knockout, and he beat 'The Golden Boy' Oscar de la Hoya in his last outing. Mancunian Hatton appears to have enticed the world renowned trash-talker out of retirement, and the 'Pretty Boy' is eager to put his opponent back in his place. "I don't know who is the pound-for-pound number two in the world, but there is no fighter in the world like me," Mayweather said in the Daily Telegraph. "Hatton is in for a rude awakening when we meet and he is in for a shock if he thinks I'm like any fighter he has ever faced. I'm in the business of blood, sweat and tears." World light-welterweight champion Hatton struggled in his only bout at welterweight in the past, as he performed disappointingly in the win over WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo back in May 2006. Hatton has been circumspect about moving up to 147lbs since, and Mayweather is adamant the Briton's power, which put Castillo on the canvas, holds no fear for him. "I saw Castillo get hit with a body shot, turn around, take five steps and sit down," Mayweather added. "I wasn't impressed. When I'm done with Hatton he'll think he was fighting four people." Details of the fight are yet to be confirmed, but speculation suggests it will be a December 8 bout in Las Vegas, when all the talking will have to stop.
