Hatton admits he found it tough on the two occasions he crossed divisions, but he insists he likes the challenge and would like to face Mayweather again.

Hatton said: "I just felt the referee didn't have one of his greatest nights and, as much as Floyd won the fight, I lost it as well."

He added: "But he's the best, pound-for-pound. Even if the referee had had a sensational night I'd still have been up against it. I just don't think I was destined to win that fight.

"If I'd been a British referee in Manchester and 30,000 Americans had come over and booed our national anthem I'd have got the hump a bit. I don't think it helped my case."

Ideally, Hatton would like a Mayweather rematch to be made closer to his natural 10st division but he is realistic enough to know there is no chance of that.

"He's the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world so he can do what he wants. I don't think I'm in a position to turn round and say to Floyd he should fight me at catchweight," added Hatton.
