Yeah you have every right to ask questions but don't you think broner burns is gone now And as a burns fan I'm honest enough to admit that I think broner would of won due to his variety and undoubted skills but Ricky could of caused problems because of his footwork,jab and stamina 3 departments where burns outdoes broner Anyway I think it's gone,if you still want to revisit that up to you
I asked as I saw Billy talking **** about Broner after the Malignaggi fight. Broner was widely recognised as the best LW in the world before stepping up 2 weight divisions to win a title whilst Burns scrapped past Gonzalez and has avoided any of the divisions top stars in order to fight Beltran. Makes Billy look a bit stupid imo.
Beltran is one of the best opponents outwith the very top tier of the division. I'd possibly only have the 3 champions and Gamboa ahead of him. It makes sense for loads of reasons but mainly: A) It markets Ricky to the Americans. B) Beltran style suits Ricky and after a sub-par performance against Gonzales, a solid, convincing win is needed...dare I borrow Hearn's "momentum" phrase! Ricky's defenses at SFW were all shocking. Since the step up to lightweight they've been better, not great, but much better. I was glad to see Ricky leave ******, that said, the jury is still out on Hearn. This is his first real choice for Ricky, after the mandatory of Gonzales. The next two after this one will show us how Hearn sees Ricky and how much of a say Billy and Ricky will be getting on things but to jump in now with the "shocking defense" type posts is very premature IMO.
Ricky has not stepped up to fight the best since the Martinez fight (8 fights later) regardless of whether Billy thinks he would beat Broner. The Burns camp don't want to fight Broner and that is the only reason it is gone.
My name begins with R, but it's not Rob. :good Over 13k posts of absolute shite and you have the cheek to criticise others.
Do you think Broner looked special last sat? That fight was mighty close lets put it this way if it were in the UK imo Paulie would have won. Why harp on about the Gonzalez fight nobody is arguing with you Ricky wasn't at his best but show character in the way he dug in, do you not see that side of things or is it just black and white good or bad? That's were you let yourself done my old son
Sorry Billy, rather than showing you up for being the bullshitting fat **** that you are would you rather I kissed your arse like the other Jock wankers on here? I cannot wait until you get the guts to put Ricky in with a truly world class fighter. Your cash cow will be finished.
