I don’t think sendo beating Ricardo would be as bad as everyone says

I know we have seen ippo beat sendo twice but both fight were top 5 in the whole manga so far. Ippos whole arc is wanting to know what it’s like to be strong not what it is like to beat Ricardo. He can find that answer watching his best friend prove everyone wrong and beating Ricardo. Sendo can show ippo what it means by never giving up and fighting for the love of fighting for himself. It would make more sense for sendo to get him back into the ring by waiting for him at the til then for ippo just to decide he wants to come back to beat Ricardo for beating up all his friends.
