Ricky has it all right now. The world is his proverbial oyster and he's up for it. He's not blinded by the stardom and money and mink coats and Bentleys. He's a gritty SOB who loves to scrap and I give him a huge chance to upset PBF.
I suppose this may be the point in the telling where I admit to dislking Floyd a great deal. But with that being said, I am fair in all things, and I absolutely recognize Floyd's fluidic grace and poise, his power and handspeed, and his knowledge of how the game is played, as on par with the very best and brightest that have ever laced them up. He is without a doubt the man to beat.

GO HATTON!!
