Which is why if it happens, it'll be at Welterweight, Minimum! No way Ricky could make 140, even with Kerry Kayes back on the scene. Ricky has aged & that why he could not make 140lbs again!
Hatton said it himself, that he is retired. I get that DLH wants to make a big fight, but find someone recently relevant. And like everyone else has said, I don't see Ricky coming down to 140 again, EVER. Not enough coke in the world for that now.
I would rather see oscar against ricky in one last fight for both, morales vs hatton would be decent too providing ricky takes it seriously.
No way , not ever ! Ricky is going to be a dad soon and has stated that he has no desire for training at all - he's not quite on the wagon fully but is now only drinking on weekends and in moderation - not his 12 pints a night between fights drinking days that he got away with for years . he's aged a lot since the Manny KO as well and is now focused on jennifer and the new baby - Morales just gave one of boxings most dangerous fighters all he could handle and would be way too much for Ricky even if he could get himself in shape . do we really need to see his fiance screaming in horror while he lays twitching on the canvas again ?
He already was a dad. If he was to come back, this is the fight I'd like to see the most, or the Khan fight but I think it might be a bit late in the day for that, Amir would slaughter him now.
God damn it both guys are in my top 5 favorite ever fighters but I dont want to see this, there is nothing to gain for either fighter other than money. In no way does either winning enhance there legacy by much with one being a shadow of the fighter they used to be and the other having been retired and inactive for 2 years and having recently gotten over a drug addiction. The attempted set up of this fight is 6 or 7 years too late.
