    Sound :good

    Fair dinkum if that's your preference. Though I don't think anyone is slating the Martinez win, I'm certainly not, good performance over a good opponent. Ricky's defences have been poor though. I don't know who's fault that is, and I'm not blaming anyone in particular, but they have been poor and I think it's more than fair to criticise them.

    No probs sportsleader, its all about opinions at the end of the day. Just ****in irks me the way the poor lad is vilified here, do people really think he should have the division cleaned up within a year of him beating Martinez?
    To me? Its utter hypocrisy from the modern day boxing fan who should really know better, & I will never tire reminding anyone who mocks the Rickster:hey

    :lol:


    Eh ?

    EHHHHHHHHHH ?


    :lol:


    Sorry for laughing at Kevins (who is black!) undoing but that dosent take away from the fact that you were almost crying (or so it seemed) at your dismay of Lee Mc.

    If his thread is still up....then take a look.

    You went from disappointment to disgust...almost angry at yourself for such belief.

    Oh yeah......then dished up your postcode for a fight....

    :lol:

    :good

    Turn it down will you. You're like a black man losing the arguement claiming racism. What the **** is Ricky Burns going to clean up? Nelson has come on and admitted that they're nto far off moving up in a weight. Or maybe in your world of the land of chocolate on lollipop lane he's going to win the Ring magazine IBF WBA & WBC titles in his next 4 fights after his last 3 defences? Go and have a lie down:hi:

    I do think some of the criticism he get's is rather unwarranted, he's only doing what he can and beating whoever is in front of him. It's reasonable to criticise some of his defences (Laryea) but it's unfair to call him a 'joke' or things similar to that which I've seen on here. He's had some shocking defences, but seeing as a Fana or Broner fight is on the horizon, I can't complain really.

    No. At least one live body would have been nice though.

    I don't think anyone expected him to clean it out, very few fighters do. Well, at least more level-headed people didn't expect him to. But I think you can acknowledge why people would be frustrated mate, I mean, the other champions aren't fighting stellar opposition either, but they certainly are a couple of levels above Burns' opponents, which of course isn't his fault, but it's his career and it's what he'll be judged on eventually.

    you tell me to tone it down when I presented a question you conveniently failed to answer. Just like all the haters do. I aint Billy Nelson, so what he says shouldnt apply to my posts, Im just a Burns fan defending my man to the hilt. Nothing wrong in that.

    A lot of wailing & gnashing of teeth going on after Burns blitzed Cook, but facts are facts, & esteemed & respected boxing men like Steve Bunce gave Cook a big chance in the fight, I just think its sour grapes cos Ricky crushed him. Instead of admitting Burns is looking awesome? The easy road to take is that Cook shouldnt have been there, a guy that was good enough to beat a man that beat Burns in the past!!!

    Just suck it up, cos its only going to get worse as Burns aint going anywhere, & hes only going to get better:deal

    Sorry to break the bad news Rocky:cool:

    If Apples beats Walsh(which I expect him to) then the Laryea win might make you re-think!!!

    I know Im gambling, but I like the challenge:D

    Yeah cos Walsh has been in with loads of top class operators :happy Can you hear me at the back? Burns is a WORLD Champion not commonwealth, Walsh and Appleby (there's a surprise you've picked him to win :rofl) Arent near world level

    Wow, beating a Commonwealth champion with 11 fights. And somehow that will make Laryea a good opponent?
