Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
This is a boxingtalk members only interview with Floyd Mayweather, I'm only going to quote parts of it but if it's true I will be one happy motherf****r!
www.boxingtalk.com
June 25, 2005
"He talked the talk. He tried to disrespect me on the network Saturday. Now all this punk has to do is sign a contract ASAP and that's his ass. I doubt he's going to step up to the plate because all he does is use my name to promote himself. We're going to find out very shortly if he really wants the fight. He signs the contract I promise you I'll beat that ass back to England," said Mayweather.
"Everybody knows I'm the crem de la crem, pound for pound the best in the world, hands down. If this chump wants a shot at the best, all his punk ass has to do is sign a contract ASAP and I'll show him what real body work is. Matter fact, I stop Ricky Hatton with a body shot."

Looks like we might get this fight after all! Only thing I disagree with is Floyd stopping Hatton with a body shot.

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
If this fight were to come off I'd be the happiest boxing fan on the planet, we'd have a new #1 pound for pound.

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
I couldn't not brag if Hatton beat the crap outta him. I'd go with Ricky too.

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
MAyweather has a big mouth. But he ain't met Ricky Hatton yet, and Ricky's power punching combined with his speed will catch Mayweather out in my opinion. Either way, if the fight gets made, at least we all get to see two of the best fighters in the world...with BOTH still in their prime clash in what can only be described as a 'superfight'.

Mayweather Ready To Silence ’The Hitman’
It seems that Ricky ’The Hitman’ Hatton’s comments about Floyd Mayweather Jnr following his destruction job on Jose Luis Castillo last weekend have tempted the pound for pound king out of retirement.
Only last month Mayweather Jnr announced he was retiring following his points win over Oscar De La Hoya but now his advisor Leonard Ellerbe has confirmed Mayweather is willing to face Britain’s No.1 fighter
Speaking to the New York Daily News, Ellerbe said: "He(Hatton) got Floyd’s attention. Now we’re calling his bluff,
"All he has to do is make a deal and he’ll have his chance to back up all that talk. All that’s standing between him and Floyd is air and opportunity.
"We can make the deal this week. He’s very, very disrespectful. He’s trying to promote himself off Floyd’s name.
"When we make the deal, we’ll show the world why he’s the most overrated fighter of this decade.
"Floyd has never taken any fight personally. But he’s taking this personally. Floyd is going to kick his butt.
"He said he only wants to fight the best - then sign the contract. Floyd’s going to show all his fans in Britain just what a phoney he is."
Mayweather had previously shown little interest in facing the British born fighter but all that changed the moment Hatton said there was more excitement in his four rounds with Castillo last weekend than in all Mayweather’s 38 previous fights put together.

Well done Rick, your not soft are ya lad ;)

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
I always wanted to see Mayweather v gatti II...
this is going to be a goddamned blowout...finally everyone will see why floyd should have taken the fight in the first place..the same why he shouldn't fight margarito..because they're not in his league..and the world will see mayweather stop hatton late...

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
Hatton on a close unanimous decision 115 - 114 115 - 113 115 - 112

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
please let this fight be made,
funny how long this forum has been talking about the matchup now, it had JUST come to the point where we had all accepted it will never happen , now the fuel is back in the fire !

Rickys gonna kick mayweathers arse

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
I gotta laugh at how fickle the average fan is. Before Saturday barely anybody on here would give Ricky a prayer against Mayweather, now by stopping a washed up Castillo he's suddnely the favourite with most of you it seems ???
Hatton won't be doing squat if he gets in the ring with Floyd, Floyd will batter him.

To me he always was gonna have a great chance to beat Mayweather but he wasn't on people's radars, he needed this win for the noise to be made, and it's worked.

i say gatti/mayweather II..except hatton will take far more punishment because he's stronger than gatti...
-
Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
He's also much better than Gatti, not shot like Gatti, quicker, smarter etc etc.
I dont think The castillo win has changed much. Floyd would still be a strong favourite as he always has been. A few posters saying Hatton will win can hardly be described as a shift in balance.
-
Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
i thinks its a 55-45 fight for flloyd, but i tel u if hatton does get him with a body shot like castillo, id love to see flloyd go down and come back up and fight or run for his life, would make me cry with happyness i think, truely test his fire
-
Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
Much as i'd love to see it i just can't see Ricky beating Floyd at all :-\
I really do see Hatton taking a terrible beating.

now gatti was shot and not just stylistically overmatched..he wasn't shot from kayoing dorin,leija, beating undefeated branco, back to back wins over ward...not to mention he beat undefeated damgaard after losing to floyd....
floyd just made him look shot...as he will expose hatton not for being a bad fighter, but rather one dimensional and that it takes more than just being tough to be on floyds level...

I tend to think that a fight against Mayweather would really be a defining fight for Hatton, and no doubt everyone would get even richer. I'd like to see Hatton do well, and I think he'd land more shots that ODLH did last time, and what that will do is really test Mayweather more than he has been before. However, Mayweather could still do his usual thing, and I'm dithering as to whether I'd favour one or the other, but I want Hatton to win.
Gawwwd, I dunno.

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
If this one happens, after Hatton wins people will be mentioning him in the same breath as Roberto Duran and Julio Cesar Chavez.
-
Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT ASS ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
and with good reason, beating two living legends in kostya and floyd and one probably slightly past his prime ledgend in castillo. same should go for flloyd tho, if he beats hatton he should be up there with leonard and co

Could'nt agree more Bilbo Mayweather will stand Hatton on his head the Castillo result was good but how faded was he.Its time for Hatton to step up to the fighters who are like himself young fresh and hungry Cotto,Margerito,Mayweather and even Mosely has enough left Hatton as to stop beating on these old names now and paper champions and beat the best of best.

He wasnt faded, He just got beat by a better guy in every department. Why wont anyone accept it. He said himself he is in better condition than he was before the corrales fight.

Im with you man. I would love to see PPF in a war. I dont think Hatton would come close to beating him as much as I would like to see it.
Good for Hatton though for getting him mad enough to talk trash about fighting him. Hatton would make more money than ever before.

right i guess that's why castillo barely won the fight against ndoudjo....because he wasn't faded

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
I am sorry for all you Hatton fans and all you Maywether fans but it seems to me that out of all the possible matches that Floyd could make....Taylor (160), Mosley (147), Trinidad (160), Cotto (147), Margarito (147), etc., he has, again, chosen the easier of the bunch in Hatton. Who just did not look any good at 147. I am assuming, if the fight gets made, that it will be at 147 and I don't see Hatton winning at this weight.
It would be fun to watch and I will be glued to the TV set all night hoping for a miracle punch that puts Floyd on his ass.
Please don't miss understand me, I think it would be a great fight. Most likely more entertaining than Floyd - DLH but it will also probably be more one sided.

Hatton wasn't on Floyd's radar or the fan's radar? Wrong.
Hatton vs Floyd has been tossed about for the past 3 years & pretty much everyone EVEN HATTON FANS said that Hatton couldn't pull it out. The Castillo win is a funny & contradictory thing...because Bilbo is 100% correct & :coolclick: for it.
When Castillo Hatton was mentioned it was predicted to be a war by pretty much everyone...when Hatton smoked him...it was disgraceful how everyone reacted...but then come Monday morning Hatton's a shoe in for the demise of Mayweather? Please.
That being said...there are a lot of factors at play that could swing this one either way...
Said it before & I'll say it again...if Hatton moves up he's fwocked. Collazo is a fantastic boxer & he's not even half the caliber of Floyd & look at that showing. Hatton aint cut for anything other than 140lbs, IWHO.
If Floyd is rushed to move back to 140lbs...he's fwocked. Plain & simple. 7-10 lbs is a lot for a boxer to drop in a short time.
I still say that this fight won't materialize...but I have been wrong before...let us pray. Heh heh heh.

Its a fair opinion..
But in mine i think theres more to it then castillo just bieng off.. That kid was undefeated and tricky and the pressure was on for the performance..
And even if it had not been for the wars castillo has had.. I cant think of how castillo could have changed anything in that fight.. The handspeed hadnt decreased..Thats how it always would have gone down..
And hatton although he did fight up close and personal with Jlc.. Didnt let him take any controll..
There was nothing to do but carry on like he did .. And the body shot was perfect..
Ricky did a number on him and thats that really.. I cant see how it could have gone any other way under any circumstance

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
This is all the same build up that gets started for anyone pbf fights and eventually beats and this will be no different...outside of hatton fans i don't know too many people could really see hatton winning or even making it a close fight...hatton will bring it the best he can no doubt about that...but unfortunatly pbf big mouth (which i agree with he's a little irritating) is right he'll make hatton look much worse than he really is......i hope hatton decides on something else, although i guess he really can't back out of the challenge he offered at this point, i dont think he though pbf would respond in this way or this quickly...if pbf wants this fight this bad there is a reason for it......hate him or love him he chooses his opponets carefully and he acts like his mouth is watering over this one.....bad for hatton...

Mayweather all the way for me cant see Hatton been able to do anything with him.

Re: Mayweather to Hatton "I'LL BEAT THAT a** ALL THE WAY BACK TO ENGLAND!"
I like hatton and respect what he has accomplished, how he conducts himself...but he is the least dangerous "big" fight floyd can take at the moment, and that's exactly why mayweather wants it!
Mayweather stops hatton...maybe the ref would have to stop it. Floyd has been picking on guys physically bigger then him...wonder what will happen when he picks on little ricky? It would not be pretty.

I could see this been as big as Mayweather vs De La Hoya.

When I wanted to see this fight made was summer 2005 right after Floyd massacred Gatti and Hatton outbattled Tszyu.
At that time I wouldve thought Mayweather-Hatton wouldve been a close fight...a great fight!
Now I see it completely differently..maybe hatton gives Mayweather as many problems as judah or dlh did early on..not to say hatton would even win the early rounds.
But by round 5 or 6 on I think it would be a massacre. After hatton gasses out...floyd just takes pot-shots until the ref is forced to stop it.
It would be a hell of a night for the build up and excitment...but I don't think we'd see a close fight by any means.
