Senchenko actually makes a bit of sense since their aiming for Malignaggi. Easy night for Ricky, "only beaten once, former world champion" easy to sell and he'll beat the guy that only Malignaggi beat etc... Maidana vs Malignaggi would be more interesting though.
Senchenko makes the most sense. Only lost once genuine marketable fight, and will get him ranked again which is important
I was thinking Soto as he kind of fits the Paulie style in that he's an outside boxer with some speed, former world champion too.
He is BAD Euro level, completely useless and got stopped by Paulie Malignaggi. There is little worse other than someone with a losing record.
There's a fight that would be perfect if it could happen. He's not dangerous, well known name, marketable, easy match to make because they're both promoted by the same guy, fits almost every criteria you can think of. Matthew Hatton.
I must admit I am quite fond of Hatton. I don't know anyone who knows him that does not ending liking him. How about him and Olusegun Ajose. Mind you I would love it if Hatton knocked out Khan in Manchester.
You cant pick a big name opponent for next year untill weve seen him back. Id like him to have two tune ups against live opponents and then depending how he does we can start talking about names.
I'd say zero, zulander. If you look at Morales last comeback (Lorenzo, Limmond, Alfaro) thats the kind of fights ricky should be looking at right now.
