    He looks a great prospect a superb finish last night it could be a fight on a big US bill which would be great for Burns if he wins

    I don't think he would be favourite but i think he'd be up for it and imo it's better to aim for the top but i'm not a boxer and i can see how he might want easier pay days at home

    What do you mean by 'better'? :think

    The WBA is the oldest belt in exsistence. When I was a wee lad, the WBO was considered no better than the WBU is now. They used to put on some awful mickey mouse title fights.

    :lol:

    Lets be honest they are all a shambles these days.

    Maybe i was alittle harsh comparing the WBO to the WBU, they have come along way since their early fiascos in the late 80s early 90s.

    I try to put most of my faith in The Rings rankings, not perfect, but about the best we got.

    HAHA someone trying to defend the WBA belt, yea older is definitely better :patsch. WBA is the worst world title closely followed by the wbc.

    I hate how everbody calls these 2 belts the most prestigious just cause they are the oldest.

    All the major belts are not worth the metal that holds them together.
    Please people get this into your heads especially people over 35.

    WBO - Loves Frank and Puerto Ricans
    WBA - 3 titles per weight
    WBC - Loves Mexicans
    IBF - Loves Saffies.


    They're all shite.

    Who said older is definitely better brains?

    I just pointed out the WBA is recognised worldwide as the oldest belt.

    The WBO is not even recognised as a title worldwide. So how can a title thats not even recognised in many countries be considered a 'world title'

    According to the WBO Tyson was never even world champion, some goofy European was lol

    But I agree with your final point, the majorbelts are equally **** these days

    Why was Buckland fight on the Mexican bill? Whats going on in Scotland is the biggest fraud in boxing today.
