Mayweather tempted by Hatton
Related Articles
27 January 2007
After Hatton's stunning fourth-round stoppage of Jose Luis Castillo in the early hours of Sunday morning, the IBF light-welterweight champion challenged Mayweather to a multi-million-pound super-fight.
"We can make the deal this week," Mayweather's adviser Leonard Ellerbe told the New York Daily News. "When we make the deal, we'll show the world why he's the most overrated fighter of this decade."
He added: "Floyd has never taken any fight personally - but he's taking this personally. Floyd is going to kick his butt."
Ellerbe revealed Mayweather was far from impressed by Hatton's performance against Castillo at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
"He said he only wants to fight the best - then sign the contract. Floyd's going to show all his fans in Britain just what a phoney he is," said Ellerbe.
