I think it's not the worst choice.. Given ONLY that he had a crippling loss to Floyd.. A professional fighter though should be able to bounce back from a loss even at the highest level and come dive right back into another blockbuster fight... But that was a Giant fight for Ricky and a Giant, almost humiliating loss for him. He had huge support and really would have felt he let a lot of people down, but more so himself....
I'll give him this one, but his next fight better either be with Witter for reasons sake, or something that will genuinelly go a ways to putting him to an undisputed #2 spot behind Mayweather...
