    Where do you think he stacks up in the WW division? I personally think he edged out Hatton in that fight, so I think he should be a bit higher rated. He is a real slick boxer with a smooth way about him. Fluidity of punches is the name of his game.

    How do you think he fairs against the Zab Judahs, Andre Bertos, the Josh Clotteys?

    Mind you, he is in the top 10 in all of the Alphabets rankings and in the top 5 on all but one (wbo)...
    Cant wait to get feedback!!:thumbsup

    He deserves to be in there with the top welters imo.Yeah against Hatton he should`ve got the decision.

    I'd like to see Hatton try and avenge his unofficial loss to Collazo. Even Hatton's own parents knew he lost that fight. You could EASILY see it on thier faces that night lol.

    I think he's a top 10 WW. I believe Judah even now can beat him. Don't think he can beat Clottey either. I think he can get a UD over Berto.

    I want to see more of this guy he really beat Hatton and broke his thumb against Mosely and was doing well until then. How does a guy like Berto get a title and a guy like Collazo gets 0. Cosidering berto has fought no one and Collazo has been in against p4p fighters.

    He doesn't stack up anywhere if he doesn't f***ing fight more than the 1 meaningless fight he has had in the 1,5 years since he fought Mosley.

    Actually Collazo did get a title, and long before Berto won his, too. The WBA title that he lost in what was i believe his 2nd defense against Hatton.

    I agree..
    His lack of punching power would be a major
    This content is protected
    against him Vs. the elite.
    (But he is a slickster, & Style makes fight's so....bring him on)

    He lost the fight against hatton because of the knockdown
    it was a real easy fight to score
    Mossley showed where he is on a world level - he isn't active enuff in the ring and he doesnt fight enuff and as others have said lacks power. Cant see him getting another belt.

    He can take Berto and Judah I think...

    Might get outmuscled by Clottey

    Worth a shot vs Margarito...could be styles...

    Had he been busier against Hatton he would have gotten the nod :deal

    Ricky's parents were probably concerned that their son was being beaten half to death in the last - but I felt that all he had to do was hear the final bell and he had it in the bag. Most of the rounds were very close but the KD sealed it.

    I think he can still play a part in the wleter division if he fights more reguarly. Does anyone know why he hasn't been fighting much lately?

    The Mossley fight wasn't good but he did hurt his thumb.

    Many people might not agree but i think with his slick style he could give Clottey and Margo a few problems. Not saying he would win but styles do make fights.
