Ricky Hatton has fired the latest salvo in his war of words with Floyd Mayweather by claiming he is the American's "worst nightmare".
In the wake of Hatton's fourth-round stoppage of Jose Luis Castillo in Las Vegas last weekend, barbs have flown back and forth between the two camps.
The latest came from 'Pretty Boy' Mayweather, who claimed on Friday that Hatton was "a hell of a wrestler - punch, hold, punch, hold".
But the Mancunian responded after touching down back on English soil, saying: "I am Floyd's worst nightmare. He likes to sit on his ropes and do that rope-a-dope type of stuff. I'll stay on his chest and punch away all night long.
"I think I'll be the first man to beat him."
Hatton's promoter Dennis Hobson has offered Mayweather $10million to come to Britain for a superfight with his man, but the 'Hitman' claims he is happy to make the fight anywhere just to get it on.
He said: "It could be in Manchester at the City of Manchester City or at the new Wembley or we could even go back to the States. I'm not too bothered.
"For all his confidence he doesn't want to come over here to fight me."
