I can't see how he'd be doing this for the right reasons. I strongly suspect, like so many before him, that he's failed to adjust to life outside the gym/ring. Still doesn't feel like he's got proper closure on his career after getting sparked the fuck out when he faced the two true world class fighters.
Thing is, he's never going to be the fighter he was when he faced Money. I'd be surprised if he could get back to even 60% of that level. He's going to go back in as a slugging brawler with none of his early subtlety or speed. Win or lose he's likely going to take a beating or two depending on who he's pitched in against.
Which leads onto another question - who the fuck will they put him in against? Will he be serving as his own matchmaker for this I wonder? He may well do, in which case I wouldn't be surprised if he offered Junior Witter that fight at last. tbf that's something I'd be quite keen to watch and would do big business in the UK. I can't see him pitching himself any higher than that though - Eddie Hearn made the point tonight that if he wanted to reach a world ranking level he should really fight the top UK fighter first, and the top UK fighter at Welter is Kell Brook. Brook would fucking
rape a 2013 Ricky Hatton and I sincerely hope Hatton doesn't go there.
Utter fucking spot on'ness...
I heard eddie hearn and he was right, he mentioned another young brit fighter too..but kell brook...well to be honest id like to see him fuck kahn't up...
But i think thats where ricky would be looking at a fight with amir kahn't...
Richard keys said he seen him recently on a train, and he was looking in great shape..my brother who is a mate of rickys from when they were kids at sale west, considering everything he has been through,looks in good shape, but he is the only person i know, who wakes up in the middle of the night, snorts a line of ching, and goes back to sleep..
Its not like he needs the cash...i dunno, id hate to see him get spanked by some young pup and just look like a washed up chump..
