Just seen Ricky do an interview for sky sports news & Ricky said he was seriously considering doing a rematch with Juan Urango. I was a bit surprised cos he seemed pretty serious.
If anyone is interested in seeing a mauling then Hatton vs Bradley would be it. Ricky should fight someone else besides a tough champion like Bradley. Bradley Skillset would bust Ricky up too bad. Amir Khna may be a better fight but he also risks getting knocked out pretty bad there too. If this keeps up he'll never retire because he'll keep taking bad knockouts and want to fight again to clear his rep. The fact is that he was a good fighter but never a great fighter. He never had great competition at his weight class besides Kostya Tzu. He never fought Zab Judah, Cory Spinks, Marquez, Campbell, Vivian Harris, or Arturo Gatti. All tough guys around his weight during his heyday. The two Great fighters he fought disposed of him in brutal fashion.
i dont really know what to make of this news. i believe he should retire, but im also glad we are going to see him fight again. when a fighter says one more, i believe you should stop one before if you know what i mean! im also happy that he still has the desire to fight the best rather than an easy W unlike a certain floyd mayweather! whilst its also ridiculous that he thinks he can beat top ten p4p fighters at this stage, you cant fault that sort of attitude. I also think that 140 isnt good for him anymore. looked unhealthy at the malignaggi weigh inn IMO. He would be better trying to get a JWW or small WW to make it at 145. not a good move for the sport, but if pac can do it, why not hatton?
