    Can Ricky take body shots?

    It seems like Ricky can take plenty of shots to the head without being stunned. But how about body shots? Has anyone seen him take body shots the way he does head shots?

    I have not seen many Ricky fights but I saw the Kostya-Ricky bout and Kostya was head hunting. With all around boxers like Miguel and Mayweather who love to go to the body, how would this sloppy, open defense fighter stand up. I think that Miguel and Mayweather would break him down with body shots, then his constant pressure would diminish. At first I thought Ricky had a chance with Cotto, but not after seeing how many shots he was absorbing. He cant take that many punches from a precision puncher.

    Hatton takes body shots well, i've never even seen him slighty hurt to the body.

          Cotto is the underdog against Hatton at the moment.

            Maussa's best work was to the body, alot of times he was getting warned for good clean shots to the body.

            Ricky's body is wide open and it appears to be solid as ****! I wouldnt waist my time if I was fighting him by going to the body, his face cuts therfore I would focus in on the head.
