Ricky's one of my favourites, but in this fight it wouldn't have mattered what tactics he employed or what strategy he executed.

Ricky always had a good chin, but the years of abusing his body have taken their toll.
The weight gain between Fights.
Dropping weight before fights with excruciating training.
Neglecting defense. Taking far too many punches in every fight.

Ricky on the night was and is good enough to beat most at 140.
Pacquiao though is a great fighter. Great beats good.
