Eddie Hearn "Big World title fight announcement coming soon for one of the team.."

He said for "one" of the team, so I wouldnt think Froch v DeGale

Steven Smith or Ant Crolla more likely

 

unfortunetly Abril fighting in Finland so can't see it being ant

 

FFS Finland and ricky couldnt get a crack at him for a unification , speaks volumes

 

Ricky didn't deserve a unification fight.

Imagine he somehow beat Abril (wouldn't have happened) would he have been the worst unified champion ever? Quite possibly.

 

Is there anychance this announcement could relate to Froch?

 

You never know mate its all ifs and butts , i get ur point on recent performances but 18months ago ricky was flying and it looked winnable then imo

 

My issue was always about who he had faced in order to be the WBO champion. Katsidis was past it, Moses wasn't truly world class and neither was Mitchell. After that run came Gonzalez, Beltran and then Crawford.

I think it's hard to argue Burns was a legitimate and deserving world champion.

I know some thing I've got a real issue with Ricky/Billy but that's simply not the case. I just felt demanding unification fights when he hadn't beaten anyone of real note was a bit much.

 

tbh mate i thought Katsidis and Mitchell were very very good scalps at that time , he could only beat who FW was putting infront of him all be it poor or not ricky performed well in them fights imo

 

Would agree he was impressive, but neither Katsidis or Mitchell were world class.

 

He got his ranking based on his win over john murray i think mate but short of world level id say , euro level at best

 

Paul Smith

 

Kevin Mitchell Vs Miguel Vazquez
