Hey brothers don't know if any of you have have Ricky Hatton's Book The Hitman My Story which I really recommend but i looked in the index and turned to the pages he talks about Mayweather and here's what he has to say:

People come up to me and say "Floyd Mayweather would give you a licking" and me reaction is, "That's your opinion mate, not mine". To be able to beat me you have got to have some serious firepower to keep me off and, no matter how much talent he has got, I don't think Floyd could do that. Tszyu couldn't and there is no way Kostya is a lighter puncher than Mayweather.

Floyd has got great hand speed and some brilliant combinations, but I will stand by this belief: if anyone can beat Floyd Mayweather it is me. He has got the kind of style which would give me problems, but for how long? How long could he keep me off him? For the first four to six rounds it might be tricky, but if persevered, and I would, I think I would end up getting to him.

Floyd could bring a tabby into the ring, otherwise he would have to hit me with something very meaty, because if he didn't I would keep going after him for the whole 36 minutes. And I wouldn't let up for a second.

Mayweather wouldn't like my body shots, no one in the world would, so that is what I would have to bring into play. Arturo Gatti, by fighting him at a distance and keeping Mayweather at bay got murdered. When we meet in the ring I am sure I will try to make Mayweather think about things he has not faced before.


Theres a good few pages on this and would take me ages to write all of it down but the above are the main paragraphs. He goes on to say when he first met Mayweather:

I have met Mayweather, although I don't think we understood each other. It was at ringside when he beat Gatti in Atlantic City in June 2005, and I was pleasantly surprised at how small he looked. I sized him up and I think he caught me! He said something which I didn't understand, but I knew it wasn't a compliment, so I fired back with some good old-fashioned Mancunion language. We both stood there until a few bouncers came over and then he walked around the back of the seats, eyeballing me the whole time. If he thinks that sort of shite will work with me, he has got another thing coming.

THESE TWO DEFINITELY HAVE GOT A PROBLEM WITH EACH OTHER AND I CAN'T WAIT TILL DECEMBER THE 8TH, BRING IT ON
