Ricky Hatton of England hits the canvas as he is knocked out by WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. of the US during the 10th round of their WBC title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada December 8, 2007.

It was Mayweather who landed nearly all of the big shots on Saturday and eventually stopped Hatton at 1:35 of the 10th round to retain his status as boxing's pound-for-pound kingpin.

"It's about skills, it's about adapting, it's about making adjustments and that's what Floyd Mayweather did," light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins said. "Floyd is the best fighter in the world of this era and he showed that round after round."

Hatton wasn't in a mood to think about fighting again, either, though he said he'd continue his career.
"What can I say? I was doing all right until I (expletive) slipped," Hatton said, joking.
