Way too risky until Ricky's 18th defence. We'll see a rematch with Yousuf el-Hamidi before he's allowed to face someone as good as Crolla. Billy really needs to have a word with Warren about fights like Laryea, he could be a really popular champion but is going to be accused of mugging the fans off soon if he's not careful.
I'd rather see Burns deal with this guy and try and unify to be honest. I don't think we should be bigging up a potential fight with another domestic/irrelevant by world standards opponent for a world title. That's not taking anything away from how improved Crolla is, I think he'd give Burns a good shout but its not the point.
Both guys have sparred a couple of years ago and both improved,.If and when Ricky moves up has undefeated world SFW champion he wont fight for domestic level titles has he'd become mandatory for the WBO Lightweight crown
Why are there always threads on how a fighter whos just performed great would do vs a current world champion? Give him time, hes only just became British champion! His recent form has been great and if he carries on like this he could possibly get to world level but its too early to talk about it yet. Plus he's now gone up to 135 and won impressively, he clearly has the power for that weight so why cant he stay there and forge career as a lightweight? Plenty of good potential match ups there
