Hatton eyes Mayweather Jnr rematch

07 January 2008
Hatton, who turned 30 on Monday, was knocked out by Mayweather in December in the only defeat of his 45-fight professional career.
'The Hitman', who raised eyebrows by hiring Mayweather's father - Floyd Mayweather Snr - as his trainer as he prepares to take on IBF light-welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi on November 22, said: "If Floyd Jnr does come out of retirement I don't know what would happen with Floyd Snr training me, but obviously I'd like to fight him again."
He added: "Father and son is a very touchy subject and we'd have to cross that bridge when we come it.
"Floyd Snr is of the opinion that Floyd Jnr has forgotten that his dad helped him to get to the top, but I'm not going to ask too many questions about their relationship.
"Floyd Jnr is all about controversy and he'll want to come out and fight at some point, I'm pretty certain of that.
"(Oscar) De La Hoya, (Manny) Pacquiao and (Manuel) Marques are among the best pound-for-pound fighters, so I'd like to get at least one of them or Floyd after Malignaggi.
"We could get 100,000 at Wembley with my fanbase, but at the moment it's just one fight at a time."
