Good luck Ricky. Pacquiao had his dream victory in his last fight, now its your turn!! Keep your hands up, keep moving your head and hit him with body punches and you will stop him by round 7.

Good luck Ricky. I just hope Sky Sports don't spoil the feel of the atmosphere of the fight the same way they have just spoilt the feel of the atmosphere of the weigh in. They done a brillant job against Mayweather JR when the weigh in took place which added to the flavour of the fight, but this time seemed to talk through the whole event to everyones dislike.

Ricky, you are Britains best boxer ever lived. This is why you get the best following throughout the world. Wherever you box, the media and most importantly your FANS are there. You deserve to be pound for pound king and I'm sure with your power and speed you will bring that word title home. COMMON 'RICKY THE HITMAN HATTONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN' X

Go get 'em Ricky! Remeber what Floyde Sr. taught you. Keep Manny off balance. Use that infamous jab to keep him off you because you know he is going to charge you eventualy and try to win by points. Make him fight your fight. This is your weight class! Good luck champ!!
