I think trying to box Mayweather would have been idiotic on his part given Floyd's huge advantage in boxing skill, speed and reach.
Ricky fought the right fight, he just fought a guy who had an answer to every question Ricky asked of him.
I gained a lot of respect for Ricky in this fight because I thought Floyd would completely dominate him, but Ricky made it fairly compeditive and made Floyd very uneasy at times, which not a lot of people do.
