Bring on Troyanovsky and Broner.

Eh, Broner has one too. :yep

(and brings way more $$$$)

 

Never mind, forgot he was stripped before the Ashley Theophane defense. Just assumed it was another case of the WBA having multiple versions of the same world title in circulation.

You're right, Burns is THE light welter champ per the WBA.

 

Burns vs. Broner interest anybody? :think

Best purse the Brit is apt to get (unfortunately for him all the lucrative domestic clashes - ie Crolla, Flanagan, Campbell - would be down at lightweight and he can't make that any longer) and for Broner this is the easiest route back to championship, just reclaiming the belt he was stripped of - both since he is already positioned atop the ratings in the WBA and because Troyanovsky is a bit riskier (let alone Crawford).

Wouldn't be a bad fight either.

Reflects on what a shallow division this is, though, that all it would take is Crawford moving up to leave Burns/Broner as having an argument to the number one spot.

 

Everything you could point to in favoring Troyanovsky were also reasons people said Postol would be successful.

...he wasn't.

Postol > Troyanovsky (in every category except power and even there Viktor's is underrated and Eduard's overrated so they're in truth not all THAT far apart)

 

:rofl

 

What do you see in him causing more problems for Crawford than Postol was able?
