    You also said Ricky was the best LW in the world so we should take anything you say with a pinch of salt.

    at the time I believed he was, the bottom line is your very very limited regarding your knowledge of boxing, I'm sorry if the truth hurts pal but at that is the truth.

    I believe you are very limited too, so the feeling is mutual.

    No sane, rational person can honestly have believed Burns was the best LW in the world.

    I agree Jennings was a good scalp (on paper), but the fight was only stopped because Jennings had a cut. Brook never looked that good that night and he was struggling to land on Jennings and he nowhere near did a better job than Cotto.

    Hector David Salvidia wasn't a very good scalp he was just a patsy for Brook after his scare with Carson Jones.

    Senchenko was finished when he faced Brook and he was nothing special in his prime anyway. I mean he was a "paper regular champion" and his best win was a come from behind win over a poor washed up Ricky Hatton. Also Paulie Malignaggi done a better job on Senchenko than Brook did IMO. Malignaggi isn't known for his punching power but he made an absolute mess of Senchenko face that night and he was really tuning him in before the ref stopped it. Malinaggi gave Senchenko a boxing lesson and he hardly got hit by Senchenko never mind wobbled.

    Brook did clean up domestically unlike Hatton and Khan, but he was in a lot weaker division than them too that's obviously not Brook's fault though.

    I agree with the rest of your points about Brook though I like Brook, but the likes of Julio Diaz, Luis Collazo and Paulie Malignaggi would beat everybody Brook has beat, comfortably IMO.

    Billy the boxing guru judges a fighter on one fight.

    Mental weakness?

    Is that why your fighters leave you?

    I'm speculating about the intentions of this post and I could be wrong but it seems to me it is motivated by an element of some bitterness.

    porter alone is more impressive that burns best 3 wins combined lol. burns achievements have been exceptional for his skill level and as a local he gets my support, but he has never beaten an actual top 5 live wire contender only very carefully selected fringe contenders and has beens. when burns did step up he got taken apart. when brookes stepped up he won.

    Agreed.

    Ricky, in all honesty, is dog sh*t. Ricky, Froch, terrible at the sweet science.

    On another forum, a boxer alleges he was waiting for his weigh-in and couldn't eat, so Billy took him to McDonalds. Billy then allegedly demolished his meal in front of the starving boxer and finished by allegedly dipping his chips in his ice-cream.

    The boxer has now allegedly left him.

    Mental weakness?

    Sounds like the Nelson I know. Every boxer he worked with has complained about him. #Identifythesourceoftheproblemandeliminateit
