    Ricky Hatton confirmed to Soccer AM that Golden Boy Promotions, his new promoter, has opened up negotiations with Floyd Mayweather Jr. for a rematch to take place next spring in England with Wembley Stadium as the venue of choice. Mayweather is said to be interested in making the trip for the right kind of deal. Hatton would prefer to have the rematch at 140-pounds, but the reality of that happening is very small. If he has to, Hatton will go back to 147. He moved up in weight last December for the first Mayweather bout and suffered the first loss of his career when he was stopped inside of ten.


    "We've been talking to the (Mayweather) camp already, but obviously it's all about me rebuilding and redeeming myself," Hatton said. "My next fight's against Juan Lazcano at the City of Manchester Stadium back down at my normal weight because I've gone up to welterweight twice and although I've won a world title at welterweight, at junior-welterweight I'm normally able to bully my opponents. Moving up a weight I give up that strength and edge, that strength I have and it's proved difficult. But I've got no fear of of going in for another crack at him again - with a different ref!"

    Like I said before, knowledgeable boxing fans would know this already.

      Funny when you hear the haters say that Pac is picking on a 140lber who is actually bigger and fights heavier than Pac. LOL

      Unless Pacquiao is fighting a middleweight weight and giving away 2 stone in the ring, it not a fair fight according to some.


      I guess it shows how highly rated Pacquiao is, even by the haters.

        Hatton admits he struggled in his only previous contest at the 147lbs limit against Luis Collazo last year, and said he would only move up again for a mega-fight. Despite much more thorough preparations this time around, it remains likely that natural 140lb fighter Hatton would always struggle in contests against world-class, fully-blown welterweights.

He brings absolutly nothing to this fight other than youth, and 0 on his record! Oh, and his humungous head! We know Bradley, u are bigger in size and in Head also!
              Who says he was trying in that Casamayor fight? Saying Bradley brings nothing is also an ignorant thing to say. Are you an ignorant person?

                I see Bradley pulling off the upset here. I know most people feel he is too slow to be able to beat Pac but his skill set is complete and he has the tools to rough Pac up, bully him, and outbox him. This is an extremely dangerous opponent or Pac. I give Pac props for finally fighting a top fighter in his prime because he has not done this in years outside of a Cotto coming off a KO. Outside of a Floyd fight Bradley was the biggest challenge out there for Pac. Martinez shouldn't be brought up cuz of the weight disparity. I have to say he outdid Mayweather this time with opponent selection. Not knocking Cotto but Bradley is a legit P4P top ten fighter with an extremely strong will. It will be hell giving him his first loss. Pac is definitely in for rough sledding, can't wait to buy this one come PPV time! I am looking forward to this one!

                  It better for Bradley to lose as Bradley as opposed to Bradley trying to be JMM and failing.
                  Bradley may not have Juan's timing, but he has the fresher legs and faster hands. Youth does help. Notice I did not say he will do better than Juan, so all the morons keep your BS to yourselves... I'm looking forward to seeing this one.

                    Cotto is not a legit top 10 P4P fighter? Bradley has been really tested by the best? Don't even try to belittle Floyd's choice, or him. Both are, likely, very dangerous fighters, for either one(Cotto may have been a bit drained vs Manny, mind you). Boxing fans should be excited by both match-ups.

                      whats your point wit this? weve seen bradly at 147 andit hasent exactly been spectacular either. so what hatton moved back down. it wasnt the weight that made him lose the fight. it was was the better fighter.

                      there is no real difference between mayweather/hatton and pac/bradley. anybody who tries to argue otherwise is a blind nuthugger. but that accurately describes u anyways, mr. jabs dont count.
