    Where's my fail smart arse?
    You fail in your boxing knowledge. Naz has the best jab and movement you've seen in a British boxer. Tut ****ing tut!

    It wasnt just Kelly and Barrera who gave him trouble, Augie Sanchez had his moments aswell and he was hardly a top level fighter. Hamed had great power but was always going to struggle against top fighters in there prime, especially after his training became a joke.

    zzz on the wind up or haven't even been following the news.

    Genuinely can't wait for the Crawford fight, gonna be another memorable Ricky fight I hope. Love to see how Crawford will react seeing Ricky in his face round after round.

    Burns was a good fighter I think he has peaked now, he's faded slightly in his last few fights - partly as a result of bad match making from Hearn - Beltran wasn't the shrewdest fight after Gonzalez. Maybe, he wins against Crawford, most probably he loses.

    He still beats most domestic competition IMO, theres still good fights to be made domestically despite the result in the crawford fight.

    IMO your wrong mate, Beltran was ideal after Gonzalez,you simply can't foresee serious injury during a fight,same a barker isn't it

    i dont know why things have to get personal. Billy obviously is a trainer whom Ricky thinks is world class and to be hones thats all that matters.

    I think Ricky lost to Beltran I had him losing by two rounds if i'm honest but the Gonzalez fight he never 'lost' because yes he was down on the score card but the kid could not handle the pace and Ricky showed the heart of a champion. Its okay to be the greatest skill of boxer but when it comes to the grit then you have to dig in deep and the kid never had it in him but Ricky did.

    Do i believe Ricky will beat Crawford I am not sure but I know better to rule Burns out. I fancy his chances but it will be a great fight.

    I don't think thats a totally unfair assessment,but I disagree on a few points.I think the Beltran decision was terrible,but maybe the jaw thing had something to do with the showing.And Burns made Gonzalez quit.Theyre all top level boxers,and maybe on another night without injuries results could be different.But Burns fought on with his injury and gave himself a chance to win a homeowner.Also Martinez was definitely world class,plus others he's fought.Good luck to him against Crawford.Hes been a fighting champion,hope he does it.

    Agree with this about Hamed.It all started against Alicea,who put him down heavily,then the others.I think Kelly was ever so slightly past it when they fought,and still gave him life and death.Im not saying Hamed wasn't a hell of a fighter,but I think Barrera was the first great fighter at his peak that he fought.He did not go into that fight with the same confidence and was well beaten.People talk about being glad when Broner got beat.Well,Naz could be just as obnoxious at times.People forget.For this reason Im sure many will want Burns to do well,as he always conducts himself with dignity.
