Give Burns the credit he deserves.

Here here. Credit to himself Coatbridge and boxing. The boys done good

 

He maxed out on the talent he had.hope he retires now and doesn't become a stepping stone for domestic fighter's that couldn't lace his gloves in his prime.

 

Burns deserves credit to go from losing against Arthur and Johansen to becoming a 2 weight world champion deserves a lot of credit I hope he either retires now or takes a few fights to get his confidence back up he needs to fight guys who don't have big power.

 

Yeah because fighters can just decide if they are going to be trained by Freddie Roach.

 

He deserves credit, but it's over for him now losing 3 in a row after getting lucky in the fight before that.
he might still make some domestic waves but he's done at world level.

 

he never was at world level, really just fringe. stick to euro.

 

Burns has had a lot of tough fights close together. I know he had to take the Crawford mandatory but I wonder was getting in with Crawford a good move.

It's hard to keeping performing against top quality opposition. I think the strategy Matchroom used with Burns didn't help him.

 

This is the reality,although his fans massively over rates him.

 

Any amateur or pro is welcome at wildcard. Do well and you could indeed get trained by Roach.

 

this is doubly wrong.

firstly, what do you expect a world champion to do? fight losers in the way the K bros or Calzaghe does? appalling. every opponent should be a legit challenger, that is, world level, perhaps with 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 stepped down a level.

secondly, his opponents aren't even the best ones he could pick, they are largely second rate.

and to add to that, burns never performed against them anyway. Hes arguably lost 4 on the trot now, and certainly 3. The evidence dictates that he shouldn't be at world level, though I am of course not saying he shouldn't be trying to capture a title - just that he didn't deserve to own one in the firstplace.

The best thing he had going for him, heart, is no longer there either, and without that hes euro level. Though I do hope he can develop and get to that world level one day.

 

I feel he isn't nearly the fighter he was, still got the heart of a lion and will to see the fight out but he has become too easy to hit and isn't judging distances any more. its a shame as there is a few decent fighters up here that deserve good exposure but I feel the big boxing nights wont be back here for a while now

 

Agree with both points.

Burns for me is 100% the best LW we have here in the UK. Come up short in his recent outings at world level, but still has to much for the domestic lads.

I would like to see + imagine that he will drop down a level now, so we will see some domestic dust ups involving Burns (going off the basis of Hearns recent interview with Kugan) which I do think we'll see him shine once more in.
