Two months into his "retirement", Mayweather has just announced that he wants to fight Hatton and beat the shit out of him. So now both fighters are calling each other out...
Mayweather, unbeaten, in his prime, pound for pound number 1, linear/Ring champion at 147... Hatton, unbeaten, in his prime, pound for pound contender, linear/Ring champion at 140. Fights don't get any more attractive than that.
So the question is, are they serious about fighting each other? It might just be talk and one camp or the other will block the negotiations, perhaps with unreasonable money demands. On the other hand there are very real reasons why each fighter might want it. From Hatton's point of view, Mayweather is the top fighter out there, the man to beat and also the biggest payday. From Mayweather's point of view, Hatton now brings a potentially huge payday, huge recognition and (it has to be said) probably less risk than someone like Sugar Shane Mosely.
Talk however is always cheap in boxing, so I won't really believe it until I see them step into a ring.
