Hatton talks tough ahead of Mayweather clash

RICKY HATTON has vowed to prove the world wrong and leave Floyd Mayweather with no room for excuses when the pair clash in their world welterweight title showdown on December 8.

Hatton is relishing the prospect of heading into the Las Vegas ring as a major underdog and insists his biggest fear is how Mayweather is going to react once he has tasted defeat for the first time in his illustrious career.

Hatton said: “It’s common knowledge that Floyd has bad hands and I just hope that on the night when I beat Floyd and it all seems fair he doesn’t try to blame it on the dancing or bad hands.”
