    Zlaticanins not world level and Harrison would do better against him than Ricky did and Burns would struggle with Liam Walsh. If Harrison-Burns happened it would be a lot closer and you know it.

    Honestly Ryan you can't see the woods for the trees pal, zlaticanin would beat Walsh and Scott he was a good fighter but one Ricky shouldn't have lost too
    Hopefully Ricky fights an orthodox fighter next and everyone will see a huge diffrence

    Billy I never said Scott would beat Zlaticanin now, but he would have in his day no problem. The point I was making was at least Scott would have put up a better fight than Rickys effort now.
    Also Liam Walsh would find Burns a lot easier than Scott as Burns wouldn't be able to put in the effort Scott did because he's sadly not got it in him.
    Maybe Hearn will match him with an easy orthodox opponent next time then?

    Kev Scott Harrison won't ever get to the level he was at before it's impossible, but Ricky looks past his best as well at only 31. I know Scott has had a lot of time out the ring, but he's not taking the punishment that Burns has. I'm not buying this talk of Burns beating Harrison with ease going on what recent performance. I mean you're only as good as your last fight and Burns has been well beaten in his last 3. One thing for sure Harrison would make Burns earn his money and the result would surprise a lot of people.

    Billy, I admire you sticking with your boy even though he ran/was pushed to the Es*** sun bed lot but that's another thread.

    Harrison in his prime was by far the better fighter then Ricky ad he generally beat better men

    Ricky is totally finished and you know it...infact even this version of Scott aka 'Rab c' Harrison might even stop him now which would be a horrendous event.

    Zlaticanin was a midget, yes he's southpaw with decent power but you simply cannot lose to him.

    Ricky needs to give it up or risk being fodder for the likes of coyle, flannighan and Crolla etc

    Ricky never stabbed me in the back moog he was a man came to my house face to face and said he wanted to try another trainer!
    What part of that do you call getting stabbed in the back?

    The difference being Ricky's been boxing world class opponents Scott got beat by Walsh who domestic level,I really can't understand how you can't see this? Or maybe you don't want to! 7 rounds tops

    No Billy I think it's you who doesn't want to see this. Scott got 3 weeks notice tops for the Walsh fight and he still showed more fight than Ricky did in his last 3 fights. I told you Ricky wouldn't stop Scott in 7 in his prime never mind now. Honestly we'll see if Ricky can still fight good boys like Walsh and put a good show on when he's 36.

    fair enough sum good points but as far as punishment rwouldnt say rickys been badly beat up ok jaw isnt gony help but not a stand up trade fighter wheras harrison hasnt exactly lived greatest lifestyle would have been gd fight maybe 3/4 years ago lw or even sf but now would rather see both retire nothing to prove both ex world champs guys like us could only dream of achieving dont know personal situations but dont imagin burns needs muny could prob retire comfortable

    Ffs wits your problem Billy? Burns couldn't stop a bus at the minute never mind Scott. Honestly nobody would believe you were in a Harrison corner for all they years the way you disrespect them. I remember in Manchester when Scott broke Brodies ribs you were jumping about the ring celebrating like a wee lassie. Seriously I think you're suffering from a bad case of amnesia because if it wasn't for the Harrisons you would still be cleaning the showers and picking those pubes out the plug holes. Have a bit of respect ya f*cking animal.

    Christ I actually agree with you Simba!!!

    Billy your acting like the dumped girlfriend who still thinks she may get a shag.

    Burns is shot, surely you see that. He had no power, afraid to take a shot and makes school boy errors. He is done at workd level. He may have let you down face to face but he still said your not taking him any further. He is mugging you off and your still defending him.
