    Even if Burns loses he can come again, he'll still be among the top LW's and can get another shot in america if he shows a good account of himself. I think he'd the bigger man against Broner and at 29 will have more brute man strength and that could be a telling factor. He also has a good chin and we've not seen Broner take too many big shots either so who knows how he will react?

    We've had it from the horses mouth (Billy) that Burns and not FW turned the fight down anyway as he wants more time, so for once I AM surprised that I can't really point the finger towards the rabbit hole.

    So you think Kevin is domestic level then that just sums up your knowledge on boxing!
    Moses was an ex champion who Ricky dominated,katsitas would have still given an other LW in the country a beating and Ricky boxed great against him. Mate im sorry you have let yourself down

    The thing is Billy, Ricky is supposed to be operating at world class, yet you keep on referring to past opponents compared to any lw in the "country", the uk isn't the world...are you content with just the best in Britain or do you want to be the best in the world...

    If you read the posts from others there implying Ricky is only fighting domestic level opponents SHITE!
    The only domestic rivals have been Nicky and Kevin,Nicky got injured which can happen to anyone anytime and Kevin was the WBO No1 contender at the time,lets face it many thought Kevin was going to beat Ricky with a bit to spare, now there chocking on there words and looking for wee sly digs at him.
    Katsitas,Moses,Mitchell and Martinez are all excellent fighters,bottom line is mate i think people have a wee dig coz of a jealousy aspect

    Billy, if its anyone other than Miguel Vasquez then I don't think anyone will be shutting up. Old former champions shouldn't be on his horizon anymore really. Rees, Broner, Abril, Bogere tied up.

    Oh **** don't tell me its Breidis Prescott! :lol: I reckon he's a good outside bet, cheap, available and weight drained.

    Jealous of what? That he is a professional fighter and we arent?!

    That is where you are totally wrong. We just want to see him fight the best and do well.

    It ****ing embaressing claiming to be 'world' champion and then staying at home fighting lesser oppenants and avoiding the real tests on the world stage. No wonder the yanks give us stick!!!

    Take a leaf out of Froch's book.

    There is no jealousy Billy, we want Ricky to do well, well I do anyways, it's just realism mate, I don't think he's on the level of Broner, I do think that his team are keeping him away and that makes a mockery of the "world champion" moniker.

    If Ricky did fight and beat Broner i'll be the first to put my hands up and say I was wrong, and i'll be happy for the lad

    Billy thinks every Englishman on here hates the Scottish, which is not the case.

    You're forgetting your Essex roots Billy, shame on you.

    Nobody cares about this nationalistic bull though. You care about us an awful lot more than we care about you (England and Scotland).

    exactly, to me British is British.

    that's why Burns behaviour (ducking broner) is pissing me off, as a BRIT

    Ah well, if it's resorted to that, we will just have to adopt Adrian Broner as a fellow English man........but wait, that's pointless as the fight isn't going to happen whilst you have FVVanker as your manager & promoter.

    I would like to see Ricky go to George Flemming who has been working with Harrison and get put into the shape of his life because i've always thought Ricky looks in good shape, but probably not the absolute best he could and he will need everything stacked in his favour if Wank actually puts him in with Broner.
