Juan Manuel Marquez and Ricky Hatton have begun talks to fight in Manchester, England, promoter Richard Schaefer said.
No date has been discussed.
“That’s one of things we have to discuss,” Schaefer said. “I’m going to be talking to the Hattons. And Marquez wants to do it. We’ll see if we can get it done.”
Marquez is coming off a one-sided decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in September, for which he went up two weight classes.
Hatton’s last fight was a one-punch, second-round knockout loss against Manny Pacquiao in May, after which the popular Briton hinted at retirement.
Marquez and Hatton would likely meet at 140 pounds.

winner rematches floyd? haha nah fukk that.:boxing:
This fight better not be PPV. I think that JMM deserves the payday to enhance his financial security, but I will lose respect for him if he doesn't try to beat a couple of opponents who are better than that before he closes out his career. Casamayor and Diaz are not great wins. And I'm saying this as a JMM fan.
i dont know if hatton's got it any more b..
He probably ain't but 140 is his home away from home and i ain't sold on Marquez doing it at 140. The Casamayor and Diaz fights at 135, he didn't look comfortable IMO.
Did you watch that fight? Diaz was giving Marquez hell.
Yes I know, but it doesnt change the fact that this fight, for marquez will be like shooting at an egg with an old ak-47, he might miss loads but he will eventually connect and then its,

Yeah but Diaz lost by ktfo.
If Marquez lands on hattons chin (which he will) Hatton will prolly do the chicken dance, it will be humilliating.
better to just retire

Marquez isn't gonna embarrass Hatton. If Juan Diaz can give Marquez hell then think what Hatton can do?
