If anyone can pick up Boxing Monthly this month it's an excellent read..I really appreciated the writers honesty. Refreshingly unpatriotic and just BOXING taken into account when analysing this fight!
I like Ricky myself, but when you look at the logistics of the fight and style matchup, people drag fights out of the closet from 5 years ago(Castillo) and they fail to realize Floyd isint the same fighter than the style he has developed for himself in his prime. Castillo wasnt even 1/2 the fighter that Floyd fought. to me its not even a factor in the equation

I dont see Ricky having advantages in the speed, power, boxing skill and defense department. he isint even in the same league. He fought once uncomfortably at 147 and was LUCKY to scrape a win. Floyd has moved up to a fit 152 and fought and didnt fade, didnt get buzzed or rocked.

Floyds meanstreak will come out and he will pummel Ricky, Floyd isint trying to add another belt or weight division to his resume...So this fight and azz whoopin will be all pleasure for Floyd not business
