    Would think they may be around the area of

    1/3 or 2/7 Burns

    9/4 or 5/2 Crolla

    Would be surprised if Crolla is any bigger than that to be honest

    For this fight it is better than a bum like Cleverly is fighting but Crolla still DOES NOT deserve this fight and it is a farce.

    Burns is a WORLD CLASS fighter who should only be operating on that level. Crolla is a BRITISH level fighter on a good run. Even if he beats Burns it doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't be fighting on this level without beating someone of note.

    i think it will be a great fight, and it is almost 50-50 slight edge to Burns,

    Crolla should be back at 130 if he can make the weight easily.

    Not saying it won't be a good fight. Not saying Crolla isn't a good fighter. Not saying Crolla can't win BUT that is all irrelvent. In boxing, anyone can win.

    Crolla does not deserve to be in the ring with a world class fighter and boxing needs to stop this ****. Nevertheless, it is much better than the disgraced named Nathan Cleverly. Cleverly is a ****ing disgrace for not refusing that fight and then mugging off his own promoter but he doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him.

    Didn't he move up just for the British title shot? I thought he always planned to campaign at 130. :think

    Im really surprised that people are supporting this fight. Really this should be a British/European SFW title fight. Im a Crolla fan but he hasnt campaigned at the World level yet or at a level close to Burns.

    Crolla dont have the power IMO to make up for the gap in experience/skill we would see although looks as if this isnt actually happening according to some :huh

    Well I hope its a load of rubbish because if I have to choose between Pretty Ricky and Million Dollar I will be inconsolable.

    Crolla doesn't deserve this shot, but then again it is ****** so we knew it wasn't going to be a challenging fight

    Crolla hasn't earn't a title shot but I'd rather see this than bringing over a "never been stopped" clubfighter or a teak tough African. Ignoring the fact that there's a belt it's a decent fight to be made.
