    Difference is Scott still only got beat on a split decision, and in return punched guy up and down the ring in return. (a 5x world champ) I gave Ricky 1 round at best v Crawford.

    IMO the medina return Scott boxed really well a controlled him, the first fight he lost clearly though
    Ricky's 5 LW world title opponents were all very good opponents and higher caliber than Scott's opponents

    Scott was a FW in his prime Zlat is a LW and Scott has nightmares with southpaws so imo Zlat would do much the same as he did with RB or maybe even stop scott as i dont see scott carrying the power upto 9,9 looked very lighthanded against walsh imo

    Zlat didnt beat Ricky 'in his pomp' either, so null point.

    Are you related to Scott as there is literally you and 3 others on the entire forum who believe/care he could do something in boxing.

    Scott has achieved great things whilst champ people forget Scotland is such a small nation, so to do what he has is great, Scott is the only fighter I know that no opponent wanted to challenge him for the British hence stopping him winning it outright, IMO he should have been given a Lonsdale belt to keep

    Steve nobody will know his body that Ricky himself, obviously I wasn't involved in his last camp but against Crawford he done the weight perfectly.
    However his body may still be growing and IMO there's no problem stepping up has long as it's for the right reasons

    Agreed Billy i think his last camp was 10 weeks and yours was usually 12 if i recall right i think that could be the difference in making the weight imo mate

    If am going to place a wager on a fight I'll go to the bookies more chance of getting money off them than you ya miserable ******* yae :tong And you know I'll come to your gym anytime you f*cking want?

    I agree Crawford looks really good and he's made it look easy even when he jumped up a level, but you need to remember his two best wins have come against guys who didn't look the fighters they used to be A YEAR AGO (Burns,Gamboa) so i'm not sure about P4P lists and I'm not convinced he's levels above anything than Scott fought just yet either.

    As for the Barrios fight, Aye you mentioned it before on another thread which I quoted you, but you never got back to me about it, so why don't you enlighten us Billy boy?

    well just get yourself up to the gym Ryan, you seem to be a little flustered what's wrong?
    Crawford IMO will prove to be a top P4P fighter I've no doubt about that.
    With regards to Barrios you seem to think you know everything so please you enlighten us.

    in Scott's prime I think that would have been some fight at FW with Gamboa
