Hatton Vs. Mayweather, Sat 8th Dec

will face of with Britain's IBF and WBA light world welterweight champion Ricky Hatton.

Mayweather (38-0 with 24 knockouts) will be fighting for the first time since his
victory over De La Hoya in May.
Outside the ring, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is notorious for his fast mouth. But inside it,
he's feared for his fast fists. His explosive punching style makes him a huge box
office star. Mayweather comes out of retirement to take this fight but he's used to
the big time. He's beaten some of the greats of boxing; Diego Corrales,
Jose Luis Castillo (twice), Arturo Gatti and Oscar de la Hoya have all been beaten
by Pretty Boy who has been a world champion at 4 different weights.
Unlike Hatton, Mayweather has fought at the prestigious MGM Grand and he'll be
confident ahead of the fight. This will make Ricky Hatton the underdog in this fight
and this will not be his first time.
Hatton is getting used to being the underdog after defying the odds with seeing
off Kostya Tszyu and Jose Luis Castillo in his past fights. He also, will be
looking to add to his impressive run of 43 straight wins.
