Looks like Hatton did want Mayweather after Tszyu..

Come on man, I remember reading this article when it came out. This doesnt mean anything at all. All he said was that he would like to fight Floyd. Thats nothing that no one else hasnt said.

Its not like he said, "we are definatly going to try to fight Floyd in the next fight". Hatton always says he needs a couple of more fights, so if he admits it then why cant his fans?

I think he will fight Floyd one day but just not now. Its no big deal but theres no sense of keep making up things like he wants to fight him now when clearly he doesnt and hasnt ever.

Juicy, I fail to see what that article proves.
Both are guilty of saying they wanted each other, but neither of them are going out of their way to make this fight happen.
Right now, neither of them seem that interested in facing each other...in fact both are more interested in fighting the guys the other beat. Mayweather talking about Tszyu, and Hatton talking about Castillo.
Anyway, to get back on subject. That article wasn't what I expected.
I thought there would be some useful info in there.

Hatton was so confident that he beats Mayweather, I know Stevie Bell and he told me last year that Ricky was "90% sure" that he takes Mayweather. It's so intriguing, I'm intrigued as to what made Hatton so confident that he beats him..

Billy Graham and Ricky (especially Billy Graham) have studied Floyd for years and see a weakness that only the Mancunian can exploit, apparently. Billy says he always knew their paths would cross.

Then why didnt they respond the countless times Floyd called him out???

1st off all, when your undefeated your confident that you can beat everyone.

Also, he doesnt seem that confident to me because he said that he was only 90% sure. You never hear a fighter say anything like that when he's at the top of his game and close to his prime. If your 90% sure then you might as well be a 100% unsure.

I bet Floyd will tell you that he's a 110% sure that he kills Hatton

Ricky didn't say he was 90% sure, guy I was speaking to said Ricky was 90% sure.

This was Hatton telling people in private, by the way, not public.

the fight will happen its just a case of been patient.
if hattons fighting urkal next after that he should vacate the belt cause its not as if mayweather vs hatton needs a title involved to be one of the greatest fights of all time
billy graham and ricky hatton beleives that they wll beat mayweather and i do 2

hatton tells the british fans that he wants to fight mayweather..but his trainer says something different like they need "tune ups" and such
