    Why would he do that if he could get a world title shot for both?

    I remember about a year ago you said Burns will no way fight Crolla. Bigger fish to fry or words to that extent. :lol:

    The rise of the little manc, he's proved alot of people wrong

    Crolla deserves his shot but will fall short he is in an awkward place where he is above British but below world level I think Mitchell and burns both do him personally

    Not at all Macky I still don't think Anthony has fought a world class opponent and until he does I won't change my mind,eh he's very good but Ricky,Crawford,gonzalez would be out his leauge imo

    If he hasn't fought a world class opponent yet we dont know, got to make that step up at some point and Crolla's definately beggining to prove himself worthy.

    I wouldn't mention Crawford and Burns in the same sentence either then as they are different levels as well

    It was a landslide victory but i just dont think ricky showed up that night and its made crawford look better than he really is , Crawford was slick but not unbeatable by any means , Id like to see Crolla v Beltran to gauge where hes at in levels and should be easy to make with both holding WBO Variant belts

    I'm a fan of Ricky but he never turned in the fight before that or the fight before that either? Why is that? Is it just the opposition is actually better?

    Leeds fans, nearly as bad as you lot. It was on the other side of the arena to where we was, which was good as i took my bird to this show

    I bet you were gutted wernt you when Crolla won :lol:

    I always think of you derry fans ripping every time Crolla beats a top fighter. Jealousy just gets more and more intense. Derry bashing his keyboard retweeting that he should get a world title shot :rofl:rofl its priceless

    He beat a brawler by being on the back foot and now hes a world beater? Joe Gallagher is an idiot always talking about boxrec rankings. Twat.

    i think Mitchell would beat Crolla as well. He does everything abit better than Crolla. Mitchell's power would be the difference i recon.
    How good is Burns now anyway?????? since the Mitchell fight he's been on the slide. He's never looked anywhere near as good as he was that night
