      You could maybe throw Barrera into that mix. Morales is already there and JMM ain't far from it if he isn't ready now.

      Who else?
      JLC
      Junior Witter
      Nate Campbell
      Both Randall Baily and Joan Guzman would also fit but both are still in the real picture.
      Zab Judah is 34

      With the guys you listed, Chop Chop and Hatton they could really make something like that work.

          It's a back and forth battle in which he is winning right now.

          Someone posted a recent pic of him and he's getting in much better shape.

                Good shout!

                I guess the Khan fight is the end game. British super fight which could be genuinely enthralling.

                  I hear people talking about a Malinaggi fight and I get the reasons, Pauli hits very lightly with his brittle hands, but at this stage I don't like that fight.

                  I think Malinaggi is at a good place for himself right now, in good physical shape and is sharp, where as Hatton is all rust and stamina issues at this point...

                  I could see the fight being a solid one sided UD loss for Hatton that completely stalls any comeback even if he doesn't get KOed or busted up too horrifically.

                  If Hatton is back, he'd have to be mentally back, too - meaning able to pressure and use his confidence and determination to bully guys.

                  In a lot of ways, in the sense of technical skill, I feel like Maidana would be a better fight for a Hatton comeback, even though I get it's more traditionally dangerous....

                    Part of me would love to see Hatton v Maidana, but we just don't know if Ricky's chin is still up to it. For a comeback fight, Malignaggi is a better choice imo.

                      Morales sounds nice, if he can return to his old form. Marquez would be tricky for him. Malignaggi, Morales, or call up a 140 pounder. (From the standpoint of a Hatton handler).

                      You don't want Hatton in a war his first fight or 2 back. You want guys with names.
