Ricky Hatton recently said that he is not discounting a fight with recent champion Amir Khan as long as the fight is not promoted by Frank warren. Warren and Hatton hasn’t been in good terms for a long time. Ricky stated that he is considering fighting again in several months time and if Amir Khan is a worthy moneywise opponent then why not.

Ricky should not be retiring yet unless of course if its due to serious health issues. I think Ricky still has the goods to become a world champion again, he should consider his loss to Manny Pacquiao simply as a fight experience with an elite boxer, a fighter which could possibly be the greatest ever pound for pound and there is no shame in losing to such a fighter.

There are a lot of fighters around that he can fight to build up his image on and be considered a force to be reckoned with in boxing once again. Ricky said that he would consider fighting Juan Manuel Marquez if Marquez wins against Floyd Mayweather the question is will Marquez be interested in fighting him?! I’m pretty sure he will be going all out to land a fight with Manny Pacquiao or the least is that he would be seeking a showdown with Sugar Shane Mosley. He must consider that he just came from his worst loss in his last fight so he must understand that top billed fighters will not be interested to fight him a recent example is Sugar Shane is looking for an opponent an Ricky’s name didn’t even cross his mind.

The point is, he should not wait for the Juan Manuel Marquez vs Floyd Mayweather fight to look for a blockbuster fight he must fight thoser who are ”on the verge to stardom” fighters like Timothy Bradley or Marcos Maidana of if he wants a quick way to regain back his reputation he should square it off with the knockout king Edwin Valero which openly expressed his willingness to fight Ricky Hatton.

A fight with Valero will definitely be a high risk fight for Hatton but as they say the higher the risk the greater the reward. Or another fighter that he can challenge  and is a little safer fight is with Andre Berto. Berto might be heavier but i think Valero is more dangerous for Hatton, either way a fight with these top division fighters will be a big boost to Ricky if he wins and will be again considered as an opponent for top popular fighters who are in a win streak.
