Ricky v Oscar makes sense financially, but I would hate to see it as it is a no win fight for both. If Ricky wins, some people would say that he beat an over the hill fighter who was well past his prime; if Oscar wins, people would say that Ricky was never that great anyway. I suppose it depends on Ricky's performance and mindset, but I suspect that he would consider quitting if Mayweather beat him in a shut-out, just as I think he would be confident against anyone if he wins or loses a close decision.
