floyd sr had given ricky the right tactics, the right movement, the right training, but Ricky didn't take it. he clearly says to ricky in between the round, 'listen what have i been saying bout' movin' your head man.. you gotta move ur head you gotta feint, you gotta feint and make him make a mistake... your just trying to move in and overpower him.. don't overpower him. keep ur hands up man, you should have been listening at me since day one'. Listen at 3.45:
Ricky went into the right with tactics that COULD have beaten pacman if executed well, but he undestimated Pacmans speed big time. When he got into the ring he thought '**** it, I'm too strong for him so I'll just fight the way I have done for the past 10 years and I'll win'. He had CONVINCED himself that Pacman was too small and wasn't powerful enough so he wanted to scrap with him toe to toe.
Mayweather Sr is NOT to blame. He gave ricky instructions during their 12 week training but ricky CHOSE not to follow it on fight night.
