    Burns would get carted out on a stretcher. There are masses of levels between them.

    I hate Broner too.

    yeah because Broner is far better than Crawford aint he?:patsch

    it would be a decent fight for both Broner and Burns imo....Burns could have another fight against a top 'name' in America and Broner gets to beat a tough guy that has been in good fights with Crawford and Beltran etc

    makes sense to me

    At 135/140 Broner is too big, too quick and too powerful.

    Burns stunk the place up with his dirty tactics against Omar and has been a joke in his last 5 fights yet people think he has a chance?

    How is Crawford relevant? Crawford was in first gear and won pretty much every round.

    Broner is not a world class welterweight but he would hammer Ricky with ease to be honest

    Broner stoppage, easy. I think Burns is good to, looked good in his last fight.

    Steve the Broner fight was only ever mentioned once at Lightweight, Ricky was to get something like 6 weeks notice

    Broner had the WBC strap and was viewed as the man in the division at the time, plus he was the name. 70/30 is fair, anyone suggesting otherwise is naive. He ducked that fight.

    Billy, you had no interest in the fight with Broner and you know it. You were both much happier being feed bum after bum by the WBO.

    I'd have loved the opportunity to have fought with Ricky in the states against Broner,on the correct terms though

    On his latest IFL vid, Wazza claims Burns turned down £400k because his co-manager had a "bad feeling"

    I'd love to see Ricky in against Broner never thought Adrien was all that and while Ricky isn't a massive puncher he would still be able to cause Adrien problems and if he can get Adrien on the back foot that's when he starts all his head shaking and showboating to sway the judges.
