roach is a great trainer no doubt and he totally got it right Saturday Night. I tipped Hatton to win because I thought the De La Hoya result might have flattered Pacman slightly. I wasnt sure how Manny would cope against a fully strong 140 pounder. Its a nice thought but I would be surprised if he fought again. that was a crushing defeat against a man who even before the fight was a guaranteed hall of famer. I just hope Ricky decides to retire now with the money he has earned and his health intact. good look to manny in the future. hope he can get the mayweather/marquez winner. hes a credit to the game and his nation should be proud of him

Is that some sort of joke? I must have missed that I was rooting for Ricky but the only good fighting I saw was him fighting his way off the floor. That wasn't a fight it was sanctioned homicide.

I'd like him to retire but good luck if he doesn't. Give him any trainer in the world and it won't matter, that kind of thing will ruin a fighter. I don't want to see him get hurt{again}. Teach an old dog new tricks but don't expect him to do them for you at the drop of a dime.

Pacman 23s option...turn off caps lock

[El Kabong]

Ricky shouldn't go out like that...he still has PLENTY of options and he still draws crowds in England I am sure....how about Junior Witter in England How about Demetrius Hopkins Timothy Bradley, Kendall Holt, there are a number of guys Ricky could fight and more than likely beat. Put Ricky in with Ricardo Torres and you'd have yourself a fight of the year candidate!!!


I don't think Ricky's chin will ever be the same though...a shot like that can affect you physically and mentally

[ross]

Ricky may well be physicaly capable of fighting again but im not sure how his chin will hold up and I bet he wont be either, he will fight gunshy.

It would take a good few easy fights to restore Rickys confidence.

Maybe Roach should train him, prove how good a trainer he is by rebuilding Ricky

I watched the fight again and apart from Mannys speed he does nothing great, his speed is awesome though, in the second all he did was try to line up a big over hand left, I counted about 7 before the big one connected, now that really is Rickys fault, quite a basic punch to avoid, he must have felt them before the knockout and known what Manny was trying to do but I think Ricky is quite arrogant in beleiving hes so much stronger than his opponents.

[Youngblood]

QUIT FOOKIN YELLING !!!!!111!!!one!!

[El Kabong]

Manny is hard to time, he's got great speed, great power, and his ability to use angles is great. Let's not short sell Manny.....although it was easier for Manny to win because Ricky DIDN'T use angles

[Kev]

I know Ricky could fight on and still win fights but do you think the world will care?

I mean he's been exposed badly when he's stepped up in class I can't imagine HBO or Showtime salivating at the thought of matching him most of the current 140 lb lot.

I'd say a fight with Tim Bradley would be his only option of keeping stateside interest.

I doubt he would ever fight Witter under any circumstance and even if he did its not a fight the rest of the world outside England would care about.

Ricky is used to the big stage now and being a world attraction and PPV star, his options in that regard have diminished significantly.

I really think a fight with Tim Bradley is the only fight that would sell in America, and the angle would be all on Bradley and people wanting to see how good he is.

When you've stepped up twice and failed does anybody really care to you see try and step up and fail again?

[Quinito]

He shouldn't be fighting no more.

You are a Joke,, outside of Pac how many champions has Roach cultivated? Do you think Pac would not have attained his greatness without Roach?
