    You're meandering all over the place. Try and focus on the subject matter.

    No true boxing fan recognises Burns as a world champion. He's a fraud.

    Subjective value abutted against the cold hard reality of fact. Burns is the champion, Beltran ain't - therefore Burns has all the prerogatives and Beltran has none.

    yeah okay numb nuts
    we will see if burns gets as much for the rematch as he did for the first fight.
    either way the rematch will be a hard sell imo
    fans round here travel up to see burns that night he lost a few they will not travel up there again as burns cannot lose :verysad

    If the rematch happens then I would be delighted in being proved wrong by Hearn etc - rightly or wrongly Beltran in his position unfortunatley has no choice but to take the terms offered - make the fight happen.

    Don't you worry - I'm sure Sky, one of the biggest networks with huge amounts of disposable capital, will make it a success :roll:

    So even now you cant even bring yourself to give Team Burns credit because it's not often in boxing these days that after such events the champion or promotor "do the right thing".

    So for once you could actually be a mad and admit they deserve credit.

    But you are a wank so i wont expect it :patsch

    They deserve credit as the vast majority of those holding titles would never ever risk losing it by giving a rematch when it was deserved. Ricky and his team have done the right thing when nobody else would.

    Fair play to Burns if this is true. Beltran deserves the rematch no doubt about it. For people slatting Burns about being bullied by Beltran and Beltran being robbed. He broke his f*cking jaw and faught on , give him break. I'm looking forward to the rematch and think it will be a different fight.

    because doing the right thing is the sort of situation that giving credit is reserved for.

    If I do the 'right thing' I don't expect credit for it, because guess what, it's the 'right thing' to do.

    **** me, you are a needy lot. Bet you cry when you open the door for someone and they don't say thanks. :lol:
