By Sean McDaniel: Fringe welterweight contender Matthew Hatton (37-4-2, 14 KO’s) is hoping to get the call from Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a replacement opponent for him should Floyd’s March 13th mega fight with Manny Pacquiao fall through. Hatton, 28, is the younger brother of former International Boxing Federation welterweight champion Ricky Hatton. Matthew Hatton is much less well known than his older brother, but is kind of a diamond in the rough. He has good overall skills, but is still a developing fighter at 28.

Matthew Hatton says he is ready for Mayweather – news
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.
Why would Mayweather fight Matthew Hatton?
By Chris Williams: I still refuse to believe that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will opt to fight Matthew Hatton of all fighters. I know Mayweather is proud of being a business man, and doesn’t like to take punishment in his fights, but come on. He’s got to fight someone at least a little better than Matthew Hatton for Christ sakes.
Mayweather vs. Matthew Hatton: How many rounds will it take for Floyd to win?
By Chris Williams: In the latest news, there is talk of Floyd Mayweather Jr. facing Matthew Hatton (37-4-2, 14 KO’s) in March 2010 instead of Manny Pacquiao. According to Insidesports.ph, part of the problem for the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout not going ahead is because Pacquiao has decided to run for congress in Sarangani. This predicament has resulted in Mayweather looking at a fight against Matthew Hatton, who recently failed in an attempt to capture the International Boxing Organization welterweight title when he fought to a 12 round draw against Lovemore N’dou on November 13th.
Hatton-N’Dou Review
By Shaun Campbell: Friday night Fenton Manor, Stoke, “Magic” Matthew Hatton was able to hold Lovemore N’Dou to a draw, but that was not enough to earn him the International Boxing Organization Belt. Two judges scored the bou 114-115 (one to Hatton, one to N’Dou), and the American judge scored it 114-114 a draw. As the decision was read out the fans seemed baffled, and were not totally sure what to make of it.

Matthew Hatton vs. Lovemore N’dou this Friday Night – News
By William Mackay: Welterweight Matthew Hatton (37-4-1, 14 KO’s) will be facing 38-year-old IBO International Boxing Organization welterweight champion Lovemore N’dou (47-11-1, 31 KO) on Friday night at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke, Staffordshire. Hatton, 28, is the younger brother of former light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton. Matthew is trying to make a name for himself by beating N’dou and hoping to make it into the top 15 in the welterweight division world rankings.
What will Matthew Hatton do when N’Dou beats him?
By Liam Santiago: If Matthew Hatton was a betting man, and he seriously believed he has some kind of chance of becoming a world champion on November 13th, I imagine he would be inclined to put a few quid on himself beating Lovemore N’Dou, with the odd for him to win at 9/4. Recently an article was posted on this website about the amount of world titles currently floating around and which ones are genuine ‘titles’. The fact that Matthew Hatton is fighting for a world title sums up the state of boxing right now.
Matthew Hatton vs. Ricky Hatton: Who Would Win?
By William Mackay: I know Ricky Hatton would never probably fight his younger brother Matthew Hatton, but then again you never know. It seems reasonable to consider, since the Klitschko brothers are often asked whether they’ll ever fight. People don’t seem to understand why the Klitschko brothers don’t go ahead and fight, considering it would make either one of them a lot of money and prove who the best heavyweight is in the division.
News – Hatton vs. N’dou Still On
By William Mackay: The Matthew Hatton (37-4-1, 14 KO’s) vs. Lovemore N’dou (47-11, 31 KO’s) bout appears to be back on for November 13th. It was thought that N’dou was injured in training and had to pull out of the fight. The bout will be taking place at the Fenton Manior Sports Complex, in Stoke. N’dou’s little known International boxing Organization welterweight title will be on the line for the fight, but more importantly, it will be a chance for the 28-year-old Hatton to break the top 15 in the world rankings if he can beat the 38-year-old N’dou.
