Ricky Hatton will meet champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on December 8th in the next biggest boxing match-up since Mayweather defeated Oscar De La Hoya earlier this year.
Hatton
says he has watched countless hours of tape of Mayweather and has come to the conclusion the champ doesn't like to be bullied in the ring.
Hatton said, "Jose Luis
Castillo was able to bully him into the ropes.
Castillo is not stronger than me and was able to do that and
Oscar De La Hoya also put the pressure on and he didn't like it. I understand I'm the underdog in this fight but in his fights against pressure fighters he looks less comfortable. As far as I'm concerned,
he is going to have to knock me out to win - he can't outpoint me."
The December 8th fight will be in Las Vegas for the WBC Welterweight Championship.
