    He has lost out on the Morales fight. Why not go down to 130 for WBO title?

    I will tell you why,because we have much bigger fights on the horizon and at the end of the day Anthony has good as he is has only beat john watson as yet on his record and with the fullest of respect john struggled at LW.
    Anthony should try and win the British title against Sykes or Buckland,he not in any way proved hiomself yet at SFW.
    Paul Appleby would be a good one for Anthony imo,has ive said in other posts in 6 months no domestic SFW will get near Appleby trust me!!!!

    haha u gotta love Billys bold statements

    i think Crolla would beat skyes or buckland quite comfortably, i think going up to LW and taking people out in the style he has will have given him massive confidence, the sykes fight needs to happen for me. That score needs settling coz theres no question Ant beats him well.

    Would like to see Burns vs Crolla down the line though, think it would be a great fight.

    Ricky Burns best wins going into the Martinez fight was Kevin O'hara and a washed up Michael Gomez :nut Did he deserve his shot Billy? And no chance imo Paul appleby will be the best domestic fighter. He's still having nightmares over getting destroyed by Martin Lindsay and get schooled by Laryea. :good

    Think Crolla would be a big challenge for Ricky who hasn't looked at anytime impressive since winning the belt.
