What the f*ck have he and Floyd Mayweather Sr been working on?
Freddy Roach got it right when he said "Ricky will come in and revert to type." Manny picked him off and make him look a fool.
Feel for Ricky as i think he will know he has let himself and his fans down. But i just dont think he has or had what it tooks to mix it with the very very best.
Kostya Tszyu was the peak for Ricky. The Collazo and Castillo fights were good too. But i dont think any of these guys were in the same league as Pacquiao and Mayweather.

To be fair, we're talking about all time greats there. No shame in losing to those two. Ricky's done well for himself but as you said just didn't have the quality to match the absolute cream. Must say, he looked so dejected sitting there on his stool at the end the first round. Knew the writing was on the wall. But credit to Manny. I ust hope he gets it on with Mayweather jnr.
