If it was Mayweather, not Tszyu in the ring that night in Manchester.....

Of course the fight would've been different.

Ricky was much fresher then

Billy Graham was also younger

Joe Cortez wouldn't have been ref and so wouldn't have been biased to begin with and wouldn't have been even more biased after the national anthem got booed

Mayweather back then was also a lot smaller

It would have been a very different fight. Would Ricky have won? I dunno. Floyd is a phenominal athlete and pound for pound king.

You can say Tszyu only had done 3 rounds in so many years but lets face it. Sharmba Mitchel was the top of the division then and Kostya rinsed him in 3. That shows the shape and condition Tszyu was in. He was far from passed it. He was looking to beat Rick easily and then move on to bigger things, retiring was not in his thoughts.

To be honest I don't think Ricky has anything to be ashamed of for his performance in vegas.

I think Ricks performance against Floyd will be put into context after Floyd fights Pac.
