    Broners defence is vastly overrated imo. I dont think Demarco or Rees would land clean very often on Burns.

    You could easily twist it and say would Rocky Martinez have dropped Broner?

    true, you know I don't think Rocky Martinez has thrown a shot so good since the second he dropped Burns :lol:

    F*ck the arguments, lets just ask this question right here and right now. Everyone wants to say it, but nobody has got the guts!

    Is Ricky Burns the best boxer we have ever seen in the entire world ever?

    Quite possibly.

    He actually hurt Burns a few times in that fight, but since then Burns defence has been very impressive, he's also got grit and a good chin. Burns will be a hard man to stop, even for a quality finisher like Broner.

    Well offensively, Broner isnt even on the same page as Ricky Burns, and Wossco said he is better defensively. So thats that.

    Ricky Burns IS the greatest thing and the greatest boxer ever. Simple as.

    Offensively Broner is superb, but defensively he's not got the reflexes for the shoulder roll style, thats why he gets caught. Khan would give that twat hell [before getting knocked out mid rounds by a left hook :yep].
    Everybody knows Broners footworks not great eather, he's very beatable. P4P Winky Wright would give that bellend Broner a pizza face :deal

    Burns is the most improved boxer out there but lets just calm down a bit. I think he would give Broner hell but lets just see what happens. Let him get past Vasquez first.

    Burns defence is better than Broners, just offensivly Broner looks very good.

    One of the main things going for Burns is his solid guard.

    Rees has deceptively very fast hands,he can catch anybody,he just dont pack the punch to go with it,imo Broner is the real deal,he beats every lightweight out there.
