    Seems we talk about the same old points in regards to Burns every week. The reality is the trolls want to make out like he was a bum lucky to get a title and Billy is probably being a little over the top with praise. In truth he’s somewhere in the middle.

    He had some decent wins at fringe world-class. A very good win when winning the belt. He overachieved. When finally tested at true world class, he came up short by quite a long way. No shame in that.

    Crawford was mandatory and Top Rank weren't willing to make the fight for Beltran.
