Mayweather says: I wanna hurt ya Hatton! & Witter backs Mayweather to beat Ricky...

Floyd Mayweather last night vowed to wipe the floor with Ricky Hatton.​

The american legend fumed: "Ive never wanted to hurt an opponent like I do Hatton." Mayweather, 30 confirmed he will end his retirememt to set up a PPV blockbuster against the hitman.
Hatton shot from the lip on Sunday night after retaining his IBO light-welter title against Castillo, insisting that the fight had contained more excitement than pretty boys whole career.
Mut Mayweather rapped: "I was retired but I'll sign to fight hatton right now.
"I have tried to let the things he said about me slide by, but now hes dissing me on national TV & I want to shut him up.
"For me, boxing is a science- but it will be a pleasure to prove to the world what a great phoney the guy is.
"Hatton cannot fight. He cannot box. He throws one punch at a time & then holds. There is no skill to what he does in the ring. He has got zero skills. Hatton is the most over-rated fighter of the last 25 years. He beat an old Kostya Tszyu & he beat n old Castillo, who was shot.
"I beat Castillo twice and the first time I did it with one hand because the other was so messed up. That was five years ago when castillo was in his prime"​

Hattons rival world 10stone champ champ Junior Witter is convinced Hatton, 28, would tke a pounding if he does get it on with Mayweather. the yorkshireman, 32 said "Ricky would get completely outboxed. I dont think he would get anywhere near Mayweather." & Witter is convinced pretty boy would wreck hattons reign- & his unbeaten 43 fight record.
The WBC champ added: "I dont believe Hatton would have as good a go as DLH. He hasnt got the movement to catch up with Mayweather.
"If you cant pin Mayweather down- & if you are not an extremely capable boxer at world level, then you have no chance. And that isnt what Ricky is about.
"hed get picked off & picked off as long as it lasted. I dont see hatton quitting, but I think he would quickly lose his edge. Id expect it to end with the referee stopping it"​

Witter is desperate to fight hatton, claiming he hs been avoiding him for years. But he did not even bother staying up to watch Hatton dispose of Castillo.
Witter said "I didnt think it was going to be much of a fight. Castillo wasnt big enough and looked shot as a top level fighter in his previous outing. Ricky now says he wants a big fight in England but there wont be enough money for a Mayweather fight here. "Im the only big fight in Britain for Hatton. Its something that can definitely be done. Theres absolutely no reason why not. "Its all down to hatton. Wembley would suit me fine but I would fight him in manchester, his back garden, anywhere. Im not fussed- as long as the bell goes & its him and me"​

Hatton hs been offered the chnce to fight IBF champ Malignaggi. The new yorker said "I can beat Hatton. hes so flawed, so one dimensional"​

 

I will tell you this though, I do NOT for a second believe that junior went to his bed & didnt bother watching the fight, I KNOW that if Junior dislikes hatton as much as he appears to, he would have been watching, hoping against hope Castillo beat him. Thats why I tuned in after all

You have to admire Witter though. Hes been chasing Hatton for years, & is willing to fight on Hattons terms & has even said he will forfeit his purse if it means getting Hatton into the ring with him.

No matter what the Hatton fans say, its purely Hattons fault this fight never happens. & as I have said in another thread, his refusal to fight Witter will damage his legacy. Cos beating a major domestic rival like Witter is a MUST if a fighter wants to go down as a great on these shores. Hatton has never featured in a domestic grudge match, or beat a big prospect from these shores who has called him out, like Olusegun for instance.

If Hatton has a homecoming fight & doesnt face an elite fighter or his nemesis Witter or a brash prospect from these shores like Olusegun for instance?

Its just another let down. Over to Ricky.
