Current WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (38-0, 24 KOs) is dismissing reports that his fight with Ricky Hatton (44-0, 32 KOs) might be postponed due to problems with his hands.

"The fight's not in jeopardy at all," he told GuardianUnlimited. "My hands are great and there will be no excuses. I feel tremendous and training camp went well for me."

While Mayweather says there's no question about his fists, he does have some doubts about Hatton's ability to go the distance with him.

"He's been down," he said. "He cuts easily, he swells and he's fighting the best in the sport. Everyone talks about Hatton's pressure, pressure, pressure, it's been the same gameplan against me since 1987. He'll fight his heart out, but he's got a weakness and on fight night I'll show you what it is. It won't go the distance."

Mayweather and Hatton will fight on Dec. 8 in Las Vegas, Nev. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
