Hatton - ready to shock the world.
IT'S ALREADY OVER - HATTON

Ricky Hatton is in super-confident mood ahead of his eagerly-awaited clash with Floyd Mayweather.

The British fighter will go into the MGM Grand ring in Las Vegas as the underdog on December 8.

But the Hitman says there will be a lot of red-faced critics once he's disposed of the man widely acclaimed as boxing's P4P king.

"I know all these people that are picking Floyd, there's going to be a few apologies coming my way, and I'm sure every opponent has said the same at Floyd's face, but I just can't wait to go out there. I just can't wait.

"In my eyes this fight is already even over. I think Floyd is going to get the shock of his life.

"I think he has taken me lightly. I think he just thinks the obvious - I'm a strong kid, high workrate, loads of punches, body punches, I've fought 500 of them. Well I think he's going to get a shock."

Hatton says he'll surprise Mayweather with his boxing ability when they finally get into the ring together.

"I've shown in fights that I've got the boxing ability to do it. My power, my angles, my feinting, my moving in quick on opponents, my speed of footwork along with the boxing ability - I just think I know what to do against Floyd Mayweather."
