Oh yes I am, and I am really excited about this fight

I would Kevin Keegan it if Ricky wins.

My fear is that Mayweather will be too fast and elusive for him. If you have ever seen the Sugar Ray Leonard fights against Duran or Hagler, you will know what I mean. One man constantly coming forward, raging with aggression and intent, throwing huge punches. The other slippery and fast, this way that way, forwards backwards, slipping the punches, moving the head, feet dancing, never hitting with any power but little flurries of scoring stinging punches. Aggressive man ends up utterly frustrated and angry. (The famous "no mas" fight is the ultimate example. Duran had just had enough trying to hit this dancing shadow. He didn't want to do it any more.)

A lot will depend on whether Mayweather's reflexes are what they were. If they aren't, he's in the s**t. If they are, he'll win unless Ricky gets lucky and tags him with a big one.

It is going to be a TREMENDOUS fight.
