    Crolla would win. Like Macky said he saved the show on Saturday, other than the only thing I enjoyed was filling in the Leeds fans in the block next to us.

    Ricky would stop Crolla late or win on a landslide decision. No matter how poor Ricky has looked in his last 3 fights that level is a long way off Crolla and Murray and the rest of the domestic scene.

    I like Crolla though and notice a big improvement in him and wish him well.

    But for me Ricky beats him easily.

    Not so sure now, If we were to say Murray is a Euro level fighter or short of world level and Crolla has beaten him then he got to be similar level and I think he has better skills.

    Whilst I like Burns I'm no longer convinced he's quite at world level, he's definately had better wins than Crolla but not so sure they were against the best world level fighters. I dont think there would be too much between them.

    Crolla v Burns is no miss match, Ricky is on the decline and Crolla is on the up. Closer fight then people think

    Burns would stop him. Crolla getting seriously over rated on here. There's a big difference in fighting a washed up John Murray and going in against Burns.

    Crolla is arguably the most improved fighter in the country and defo one of the most entertaining, but boxing is about levels and Burns is a level above.

    Burns has failed to display world level in his last 3 fights, does this mean he is short of world level? and is Crolla now ready to step up?

    Crolla is well overrated, really depends what Murray still has in the tank

    And Derry is? Derry got bashed up in sparring by Ricky thats no secret. What does Crolla have to do "to be ready for Burns" :patsch

    Who else do you want him to beat?

    I also heard this, someone posted it on here.

    Derry is only after 1 last payday and i say don't give it him. Let him carry on embarrassing himself and getting all jealous
