According to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports, it appears as though Christmas has indeed come early as undefeated welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and undefeated jr. welterweight champion Ricky Hatton have agreed to terms today for a December 8th welterweight clash in Las Vegas, NV.
"He's definitely getting knocked out. I guarantee that," Mayweather told Iole. "He's talked the talk. Let's see if he can walk the walk when he's in there against the best."
As reported earlier, with three-time world champion Shane Mosley set to face WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto in November, fans can look forward to a potential welterweight mega-clash between the winners of both bouts some time in 2008.
