At this point in time he would be remembered like Naz... his career to this point is almost a mirror image.

beating some old legends
beating some present champs
some easy defences.

splitting up with his promoter then his trainer.

getting beat by a prime p4p.

BUT.. this next fight is a key fight... if he loses he will be forgotten pretty quickly, and if he wins its all down to what he does from there.

the only difference with him and Naz is Naz was hated and Ricky is loved to bits by his fans.

and lefty has a point about Naz quitting BUT once he lost he couldn't get the kinda money he was used to and gave up... RICKY STILL CAN see the sellout last fight.

and also with Naz it was around the 9/11 and that would have played a big part on him not fighting on with the tention around that time

So for me at this point he is on a par with Naz maybe just under
