Ricky used to bully his opponents into submision and if he cant do that he is in for a tough night at world level but when he decides to box he is good at it, Paulie and Juan are testament to that I hope on his comback he chooses this style as at world level, at his age the young guns will have to much physicaly for him and he will get sparked again, he needs to use his boxing brain and conciderable experiance in the ring if his comeback is to be succesfull.
I am a fan Rickys and have watched over 30 fights live but am a realist and think he could turn Paulie over as for Maidana etc lets see how Rickys chin holds out, if he can still take a good shot he has a chance but I have a feeling that he cant time will tell its all ifs, buts and maybes at the moment.
