B LEVEL FIGHTER?????????????

[winscomeez]

he is really a c level fighter at best no jab, no boxing ability...caught zoo and castillo at the right time or both those guys would have creamed him if they were close to prime in the end we found out that ricky has a weak chin and frankly not alot of heart either just a frenzied mauling style that was able to overcome washed up 35+ yr olds like zoo and castillo

i say c leveel maybe d+

I agree!

I think Manny Steward was right, that body bag that he hits in training is no good. His conditioning training is great but he needs to work on his technique. This far in his career, he is what he is though so hell probably continue training the way he always has.

i still don't know why he lunged at floyd with a miserably timed and angled left hook, only to get caught by floyd's short left hook. Ricky threw his left hook so off balanced it made me wonder why he threw it in the first place. He also had his right hand down as he threw it.

Over confidence and single mindedness because of it made them go into the whole game without all of what they could have brought to the table.
No jab ,opening with step in hooks against Floyd
*His corner let him go and he went.
Single minded from the get go against the best counter puncher in the business!
Then once you've seen it for real..it doesnt take much to work out another course of action after 7 rounds of the same crap.
It makes even more sense to change tactics when your usual stuff at 140 dont work at 147.
They didnt have anything else to offer because they never thought they would need it.
