Somebody once questioned my view that Ricky wasn't all that great at 147....well there ya go. Also a southpaw took it to him, again. I hate it for Ricky, I do but sometimes you have to know your limits. He could have had a huge payday vs Witter or worked his way up to fight Khan which would have been easier than Malinaggi at this point in his career.

All that said, Ricky was a pressure fighter and he's lucky his career lasted so long, those guys usually burn out quick. I still wish we could have seen Hatton in his pomp vs Gatti, Corales, Morales, Cotto, and JMM...those would have been great fights win or lose granted there were several reasons we didn't see those, but they're fun to think about.
