Ricky Burns and More Importantly Scottish Boxing

Any chance the mods censor scot Harrison's name like with a certain promoter?

 

I'm afraid you're letting nostalgia and time play tricks on your mind coming out with that. For a start, I don't believe that the FW division of ten odd years ago was stronger than ANY division of the last 25 years, it's debateable that it was the strongest period for the division itself in 25 years - that's closer to the truth.



A prime Burns of a few years ago against a prime Harrison of a decade ago would win I think.

 

Who is good in scotland at the moment apart from burns who is struggling

 

Simmons & Brophy.

 

Simmons british maybe European level. Would love to see him ko bellew but tony would probably beat yim

 

David Brophy is improving and getting great experience sparring Paul Smith for over 3 weeks for his fight
Simmonds hopefully should get a big title shot this year
Connor Law looks one for the future

 

Naz got offered 1m and home advantage to fight Scott in Sheffield, refused, he also refused to fight Chacon so Scott did and beat him. Moralas and Barrerra are boxing greats and both dodged Scott, as they did Marquez and Pacman for years. Remember back then in an interview Pac said they were avoiding fighting him and Scott Harrison as we are both better than them. Lets face it Scott fought them it would have been 100% fully firing version of him that turned up like the version in Mendina 2 were he pulvarised an all time great in an 11 round hammering

 

Ricky couldn't stop Lepelly! No disrespect to that boy he had a decent record on paper, but he was brought in as a confidence booster, so Ricky could batter him. It never happened!

As for Walsh he's a switch-hitter who used his excellent speed and movement against Scott. But come on, when was the last time Burns was on his toes moving about popping out the jab. Ricky's been flatfooted for a while now. Burns also has been nowhere near as good defensively on the ropes as he used to be and he's took more punishment in his last few fights than all his other fights put together because of it.
I would pick Scott to win in their respective primes and even now at this stage.

TBH I think we're both clinging on to the past here, Billy. I'll admit.
I saw Ricky on ringside last night and I can only wish him well.

 

to be fair Ryan you did say before there fight Scott would stop Liam, now he's got fast hands fast feet and a switch hitter, I told you that before they fought

 

Marquez beats any version of burns or Harrison. Ppl on this make Harrison sound like an all time great Jesus let it go

 

Hope not Garcia class act if it in American has 0 chance of winning u would think heArn try get him a winnable fight

 

I think Micky Bey
