Mayweather later announced that he will take a two-year layoff from boxing.He then referred to the punch that knocked Hatton out as the check hook. The greatest punch in the world of boxing.

He is currently in the works for a rematch against Oscar De la Hoya, this time having his father to train De la Hoya. Although many boxing experts advise De la Hoya not to take the fight, he will try to overcome the odds and defeat Mayweather.
