    Beltran owned Burns and put him on his arse, Crawford owned him but lacked power. Beltran had the skills and the power, for me Beltran

    Crawford beats Beltran IMO, Ricky was winning the first 2 rounds against him before the problems began. However I do think Jose Gonzalez beats Crawford he was winning rounds against Burns better than Crawford IMO.

    One thing is for certain, Beltran would give Crawford a much tougher fight than the one he had on Saturday. I can see Crawford being too tricky and awkward for Beltran to get his shots off effectively though. Good fight and one that Beltran thoroughly deserves after the high-way robbery he suffered in Glasgow.

    I have almost no doubt whatsoever - Crawford.

    Surprised with the amount of pro-Beltran thought. Crawford is no Broner, I can see him being under-appreciated for a while.

    Crawford better foot movement and hand speed with a enough pop to control pace of the fight.

    Beltran is only getting older and looked like a fairly typical straight ahead brawler. I do think Crawford is vulnerable to someone who has better hand speed than he does tho. His guard isn't great and when Burns was on the ropes he seemed to wary of really pushing the action
