Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Ricky Hatton on Saturday when he knocked him out in the 10th round to stay undefeated at 39-0 with 25 KO. Mayweather, who was the favorite going into the match, was all over Hatton from the jump. There were some who thought Hatton could actually win because of his rough style of boxing. He tried to apply it on Mayweather Jr. by bullying him to the ropes on numerous occasions but it simply did not work. Hatton suffers his first defeat of his career and now says that he will take a little time off after participating in three boxing matches this year. Mayweather Jr., who is 30 years old, seemed like this was his last fight. He said that he has accomplished everything he wanted to do in his career with his fight with Hatton. He said that he wanted to fight in the U.K. but was content with "the best of the U.K. coming to him." Hatton had a bigger fan base, with a lot of people from the U.K. coming into Las Vegas to go to the match or to just be in town and support Hatton. That didn't phase Mayweather at all. With this impressive victory against Hatton, is Mayweather Jr. the best pound-for-pound boxer? Will this fight be the last for Mayweather Jr.? Will Hatton come back to the United States to get another high profile boxing match?
