Matthew Hatton says he is ready for Mayweather – news
December 10th, 2009
By Liam Santiago: British welterweight, Matthew Hatton, insists he is ready to take on Floyd Mayweather Jnr, if the Michigan man is ready to step up to the plate. Hatton says the British public would be in favour of the bout, but is not getting too exited just yet. Hatton recently drew with Lovemore N’Dou and lost to Craig Watson last year in a bout where Hatton received a boxing lesson. Hatton has also been beaten and stopped on numerous other occasions.
Hatton went on, ” It has been put to me, it is certainly a challenge I would be up for ”.
So, would Mayweather be ready for such a huge step up in class? Would the experienced warrior from Manchester be too powerful, too tough and too slick? Would Hatton end up stopping Mayweather with one of his chopping, lethal punches?
On a more serious note. Mayweather, in my eyes, is one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up a glove. However, if he chose to fight Matthew Hatton, I would lose a tonne of respect for him. He doesn’t need to take fights like this. No one in the world can beat Floyd. Mayweather will embarrass Pacquiao by giving him a boxing lesson, then hopefully he will take on Paul Williams. But the idea of Hatton vs Mayweather is a complete joke.
In my eys, Mayweather is in the top five of the greatest fighters in history. The best being Roberto Duran, second being Sugar Ray Robinson, third Rocky Marciano, fourth being Mayweather and fifth being Julior Cesaer Chavez. If Mayweather fights Matthew Hatton, he will lose so much respect. There are other British fighters he could take on. Kell Brook, Junior Witter and Ryan Rhodes are all good fighters, although Pretty Boy would give them all a boxing lesson at the same time with both arms tied behind his back. Let just get one thing straight, no one wants to see Hatton vs Mayweather.

Lads common. Dont be ridiculous. Please up the standard of these articles. I would be strectched to add what matthew hatton said as a one liner within and IMPORTANT Boxing Update.
Liam Santiago is the Floyd Jr. of this site. Manuel Perez is his Sr. They are both jokers and are fond of talking/writing without thinking..
I hope Ricky will advise his brother Matthew to stop this dream. Mayweather will definitely toy and humiliate him, but if Matthew wants this fight just to gain for some attention and for a big payday. Why not?
As much as I like the Hatton brothers, Mayweather could beat both of them at the same time… I think Floyd is scared of Pacquiao and fighting Hatton would be just an easy payday for him. Also I would just like to say that I think Barrera is the best of all time!
look who wrote the article,he loves making us laugh
Matthew hatton is a journeyman. This must be a joke
if this fight happen i think i will give up on boxing and watch ufc instead!
matthew hatton ko floyd mayweather jn rd 1 lol lol lol lol lol
manchester tony – matthew hatton is a man u fan unlike his bro
Duran your #1 the one who said NO MAS NO MAS. You are really CRAZY.
LIAM YOUR A JOKE U DONT KNOW ANYTHING. GUEST YOUR LIST IS DECENT AND REALISTIC.
Sorry I forgot to mention, Mike Tyson in his prime would also be included in my Top 25-30 All Time.
My Top 10 Greatest of All Time.
1. Sugar Ray Robinson.
2. Muhammad Ali.
3. Roberto Duran.
4. Sugar Ray Leonard.
5. Julio Cesar Chavez.
6. Marvin Hagler.
7. Alexis Arguello.
8. Salvador Sanchez.
9. Joe Louis.
10. Thomas Hearns.
I wouldn’t rank any modern day greats of the past 20 years in my Top 20, but Roy Jones Jr, Pacquiao and possibly Mayweather (if he beats Pacquiao) would be in the Top 25-30 All Time.
the very fact that this author does not rate Mohammad Ali in tghe top 5 fighter in history, pretty much says it all about his boxing credibility….bum
you said you wouldnt write an article again if Cotto loses! live upto your word and quit so we dont have to read this rubbish anymore
are you sick? how come mayweather belongs to top 5, mayweather is a cherry picker, he afraid to fight the best in the division, he is coward boxer, if he beat pacquiao maybe he’s on the top 10 all time greats, the question is “IF HE BEATS PACQUIAO” HAHAHAH!!! all i know mayweather is afraid of pacquiao. top 5 all time greats: 1. ALI, 2. PACQUIAO, 3. ARMSTRONG, 4. DURAN & 5. HEARNS. that’s all no mayweather.
he probably couldnt even beat his brother
liam, do us a favor; just start washing cars from now on, for all the (senseless)articles you’ve written suck.. just like you. douchebag.
lol whos matthew hatton?
Yeah, when Liam broke his own promise not to write again if Pac defeats Pac then nothing is left in him.
So, Liam is a bum. No write up credibility and you cannot believe what he writes … nothing..
The British public would want to see Matthew Hatton v Mayweather…erm…we don’t!
If this fight does happen and it ruins the proposed Mayweather v Pacquiao bout, Hatton will recieve so much abuse from British boxig fans.
As for Mayweather being Top 5 All Time. The only boxer in my eyes in the past 10-20 years, who could stake a claim as being that highly ranked is Roy Jones Jr before he forgot to retire. If he hadn’t carried on fighting towards his pension, im sure many people would view him as being up there with all the past greats.
and ART he is talking about lightweights…..heavyweights are a new subject! Muhammed Ali number one then Tyson number two! i only have 2 fav’s in heavyweight. Boxing though my favs are Muhammed Ali, Tyson, then Floyd Mayweather….all talker and all back it up!
joe is stupid! boxing is not a brawling sport…..u must like hatton! lol boxing is a tactical sport. where without a game plan you wont win a match!!! mayweather is top 5 hands down. he is number one on my list! muhammed ali was a tactical fighter and he is the greathest! He hit and “ran” (called a defencive tratagy). the “running around” is why boxers do jump ropes….its for there feet movement.
this is funny as shi, Matthew hatton go fight some on else, we want to see mayweather vs pacquiao and if this fight happens it be a joke as nobody is interested you fing looser hatton
hahahah this guy is killing me
ur top 5 is ludicruous- wheres ali? DAM UR AS BAD AS PEREZ , ARE YA LOVERS?
Why is this even worth writing about? Who the hell cares?
i agree mayweather is
brilliant
HA HA! Matthew if your brother got schooled by Mayweather. How on earth do you think you can take him. Fair play I think you beat Ndou. buy come on mate. This is Mayweather were talking about.
Fight your brother in your living room. If you can do a decent job on Ricky then we will think about it.
dont forget to post your fight with Ricky ON YOU TUBE
goodness sake, i could go over to vegas and do beter against floyd than m hatton
that is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard, even for you liam
Matthew Hatton wants a healthy pay day even if it comes with a hefty butt whooping. I think he should be fighting guys like Alfonso Gomez and Dmitry Salita. They’re more at his level.
Take it easy buddy, I think u need to lay off the pot…Mayweather is good, but TOP 5??? I know your kidding. Lets just see if he can get past pacquiao, but even if he does he’s not anywhere near top 5. boxing is supposed to be a fight, not one guy tapping the other guy in the head while he runs for his life. You can never be considered an all time great with that kind of crap. In twenty years you won’t be able to pay someone enough money to sit through 1 of his fights. FORGOTTEN…
Why are you still writing? Did’nt you promised us that you will stop writing boxing articles if Cotto loses to Pacquiao? You don’t have the balls to fulfill a promise?
Roberto Duran is the greatest fighter ever and Julio Cesar Chavez is fifth? LOL. Please now.. stop making me laugh.
