Losing all that weight and going through all that pain just for a nights work knowing regardless of what happens you wont be doing this again.

I know ive been saying this a hell of a lot recently but....the guy is a mere 30years old and yet wants to hang it up.

Yes i know his lifestyle isnt suited for him going on much further...but he still could surely continue for a couple of years winning world titles at welter??
As much as i would love to see Ricky carry on a few more years he is way past his best ( Olivera fight at his best ) and the way he is now handling himself out-side the ring also concerns me, he seems to enjoying himself way too much to justify a return on a long term basis. He now reminds me of the way Michael Gomez carried on in the latter stages of his career.
