That is a very good question.Ricky was a beast then and punch's just didnt seem to faze him.Joe cortez on that night didnt let ricky get on the inside at all in that fight and to me it all played into pbf hands.

I think,ricky back then in manchester would have give pbf a run for his money.I'm not sure he would have beaten him,Because i feel Pbf,is the best about.
