...a fight with Ricky Hatton?
From Kevin Iole article on yahoo sports.
But on Saturday, Oscar De La Hoya leaked word that he is mulling a return to welterweight, a move which would have a ripple effect on what is quickly becoming the sport's deepest division.
HBO analyst Larry Merchant first reported Saturday that De La Hoya is considering a return to welterweight, where he hasn't fought since 2001, to take on super lightweight champion Ricky Hatton.

Richard Schaefer, the chief executive officer of De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, said De La Hoya walks around at 152 and believes he can make welterweight's 147-pound limit.
He's had preliminary talks with Hatton's representatives, and plans to have more next week.
