    And Ricky Burns has gone backwards the most in Britain in the last 18 months.

    Totally washed up

    A match up between both settles a lot imo , proves if crollas got it and also if ricky still has it

    Yeah I'd love to see that, if Ricky lost that he would have to pack it in surely

    No it's when Luke came up to spar with Ricky in Scotland when he was still with Billy.

    I think ....

    So after Luke had about 3 pro fights and Ricky was world champ your going on that?

    You think Ricky is still at that level? You dont think Luke is going to improve?

    Its a good spar Ricky always goes into sparring like a fight full steam (nothing wrong with that at all) but i get the impression Luke holds alot back. They are very good competitive spars but for someone to say one is levels above the other is very silly

    I understand what your saying but if Ricky fought Luke now Luke would lose

    sparring does mean something don't be stupid, if Kevin Mitchell is getting anywhere near Ricky then burns has went back terribly

    Im referring to people taking it as gospel that because one fighter betters another in sparring he would beat him when it mattered
