    Vazquez
    Abril
    Beltran
    Gamboa
    Crawford

    Now to be clear i believe Burns can beat for example Beltran and Abril but just on the current position i rank him 6th. Beltran beat him whatever way you want to look at it broken jaw or not he lost. Therefore for the time being Beltran must rank higher then Burns. Gamboa and Vazquez both beat Burns IMO i can't wait to see the Crawford fight will tell us a lot about Burns and Crawford. If Burns wins he will be right back up to at least top 3 probably 2 at LW.

    What I mean is it was far from convincing and matthew hatton no disrespect was European level at best

    if you put beltran 3rd as he beat burns in your opinion how can Crawford be above burns who is the current champion and defended his title many times, who has Crawford beat to be above him?

    Billy I don't think I have looked forward to a fight as much as this, really want the rickster to show all the negative *******s on here, I hope rick turns up fully tuned and healthy because if he does Crawford is in for a world of hurt. Keep up the good work billy:good

    Tells you something about the times when you look at it. It's quite incredible that none of that 5 have fought each other. No wonder we don't know who the best in the world is if they don't fight each other.

    Likewise you fat ****.

    Take a look in the mirror, the difference between me and you is that this sport is your life, whereas it's a hobby for me and I have a full time job doing something else.

    The bull**** you write on here continually blows up in your face as you are always wrong and can't help but manage to embarrass yourself every time you write on here.

    Rather than insulting and threatening me, I suggest you take the time to make the major improvements needed in both you as a trainer and Ricky as a fighter so that you are not the beneficiaries of 2014's biggest robbery, just like you were in 2013.

    Not even good enough to be a full time trainer? Says it all. No wonder you are so jealous of Joe Gallagher.

    Makes you wonder where you get your arrogance from.

    i think you will find I've been in the corner for 20 world totle fights pal losing 1, what have I to be jealous of anyone for?
    Joe is a very good coach and has a cracking stable, but in all honesty the stable he has should nearly all be winning domestic titles with the talent they have, so good luck to them all.
    The reason I work is I enjoy my job, I've been offered loads of jobs to coach full time in England and I will one day
