    He looked awful last night AND his trainer said they're going back down in weight (the point of last nights fight was?), so what's left for him?

    How does he fare domestically after being the champ of it? Because he has to be done at world level.

    What fights are left out there for him?

    I hope he retires personally, Great guy and had a brilliant career considering his early fights can walk away with his head high that he won 2 world titles when no one expected him to and it would be a disservice to see him used as a stepping stone for guys he would have beat 2-3 years ago.

    He won't retire, but he probably should. It's not nice watching him these days. Real shame. He got the maximum out of his talent and for that he should be applauded. Not many do!

    Exactly but it seems most on here would rather rip him to bits than give him the credit for what he got out of his skills.

    He might not want to walk away at worst he will still get decent fights uno Eddie is waiting for Campbell to beat brizula(duno spelling) then set up Olympic gold medalist against former world champ

    i really think if scott sorts out his spanish court offences then that would be a good fight for both. it would sell and imo ricky would get a good win against the smaller scott harrison.

    Would be a good win for Ricky but I think it would be another ugly fight like last night unless Ricky goes back to using his long arms to his advantage.
