    Do you think ricky would have had enough left in the tank to beat the South African ?

    I don't think so sadly, his timing is too off now. Matthew may not be strong but his timing is very good.

    Matthew is certainly tougher and more durable than Ricky now and 147lb was never his weight.

    No, if anything Ricky would have been stopped, even by that Van Heeren guy. It was sadly there for all to see when he fought Senchenko, his tank was just completely empty. The heart was there but the ability wasn't, not at all. Glad Ricky agreed and decided to retire for good.
