Man that's tough one. Might just depend on what 'rededicate' entails for me as Chico was halfway out the exit door with Clottey in a bloated BS catchweight match he had no business in. That was rough. Absent a comeback and fresh off ko loss to Mayweather though I honestly think its a coin flip fight with slight lean maybe to Ricky on volume and body. We have the advantage of hindsight with Ricky, who frankly found himself in a scrappier than expected return against another former lightweight Juan Lazcano..a fighter in the last start of his career who managed to hurt Ricky late and landed more left hooks than he should have for a bit there. It was a whirlwind show and awesome return by Hatton, active and frontal as ever, but he could always be checked with range and pop. Chico had been struggling for years making weight, he should have moved up well before honestly.
