    What is wrong with him having the Irish colours on his shorts?

    Great chance for Ricky to become a three weight world champ but should he lose it's back to domestic level or retire, great promoting getting him this unlikely oppertunity

    Eddie has done an incredible job for Ricky given that he hasn't put in a single decent performance since joining him.

    he showed great character against Gonzalez after a bad start, if he were english people would have been raving about it.
    And in the grand scheme of things the Crawford result doesnt look so bad now really

    Whilst I somewhat agree, was he not signed with Matchroom for the Mitchell fight?

    The most decorated bum in boxing yes.

    He's an absolute fraud. Got beaten up by Manny's sparring partner who he use to train with to warm up. Was systematically outclassed by Crawford and then went back to fighting bums instead of fighting top level guys.

    The guy doesn't even train full time, works on the side in some car shop

    If true, it is because Fish ruined him financially.
