        Different nights. Different fights.

        I don't play triangulation games. I evaluate each fight on its own merit.

          NO if Ricky beats Floyd then Floyd's skills as a fighter are in question not his past opponents.

          Big difference. Same as Dios is saying all this stuff about Ricky doesn't change that he is Top 10 p4p and the recognized 140lb champ.

          It's the skills department.

              in my eyes a prime Elite fighter is an A Class fighter in his prime

              niether has fought an A Class fighter in their prime ,do your self a favour stop going on about Collazo when PBF got beat by Castillo

              Dela Hoya is the only A Class fighter on PBF record but not in his prime same with Kostya Tzyu
              Jose Luis Castillo in his prime was a perpetual top 20 p4p guy. And always among the best two at his division.

              Diego Corrales was top five p4p when Floyd beat him. IN HIS PRIME.

              So , you are worng. Both Corrales and Castillo were A fighters. PRIME.

                    MSA,

                    With all due respect, I read where Ricky said that he will beat mayweather and take 2 or 3 more fights then call it a career.

                    If that is to be believed, then he is on the tail end of his fighting days, and a retrospective is appropriate. However, if he fights another 5-6 years, then he can do a lot more work. Either way, a look back after 40+ fights is probably not a crazy thing to do in this age.

                    May I respectfully ask why nobody addressed that long list of names that Hatton did NOT face?

                      You are a pathetic poster and don't deserve another response. And learn how to spell and use punctuation.
