Terence Crawford and Ricky Burns, what a gulf in class

Ricky's in the top 3 worst champions P4P.

Complete disgrace to the legends of the sport that he can call himself a 3 weight world champ.

 

Burns is not a world champion I don't care which version of the WBA or whatever belt he holds - what a joke. The whole idea of him having a similar status as Crawford is hideous

 

Give us your top ten worst p4p champions.

 

Who do you think you are telling me what to do?

**** off you boring nonce.

 

In no particular order.

Nehomar Cermeno- WBA Regular Super-Bantamweight Champion

John Casimero- IBF Flyweight Champion

Ricky Burns- WBA Regular Light-Welterweight Champion

Ruslan Chagaev- WBA Regular Heavyweight Champion

Giovanni De Carolis- WBA Regular Super-Middleweight Champion

Jessie Vargas- WBO Welterweight Champion

Liam Smith- WBO Light-Middleweight Champion

Billy Joe Saunders- WBO Middleweight Champion

Deontay Wilder- WBC Heavyweight Champion

 

The lack of credit given to Ricky Burns on here is disgusting

 

I agree to some extent, In all reality the result against Crawford doesn't look so bad now. He is a three weight world champion and has beaten some fantastic fighters- Martinez,Mitchell etc but I think most of the hate is to do with Billy.

 

Use your brain mate.

I can agree that he is clearly one of the weakest world champions out there, he probably knows he is well past his sell by date himself.

But I also acknowledge he is a three weight World Champion, but regardless of that, anyone who steps in a boxing ring from the Schoolboys to a World Champion with Journeymen inbetween deserve respect.

It takes courage to box, something that most people don't have, and that's why you rarely hear me call anyone a ''bum'' on here.

Because these so called ''bum'' would murder all of us on this forum and we know it.

 

Oh dear, I appear to have struck a nerve early and by accident. Anyone would think you've given this subject no consideration at all...

Still I think I can understand why you're upset, I'd imagine being an online tough guy/troll is soul sapping work.

 

Not that they care but I don't recognise 'interim' or 'regular' champions as champions.

Is Ricky not full WBA champion? I think he is mate.

I don't think BJS deserves to be on that list. He'd be in with a shout of beating anyone outside of GGG at 160. That's more than I could say about Bellew, who'd be incredibly fortunate to be considered a top 5 fighter at 200lbs IMO.

I assume you've included Wilder for his level of opposition rather than ability which is still a huge question mark.

 

I included both Liam Smith and Wilder due to who they have fought to become World Champions, I forgot about Bellew good shout mate.

I included Billy Joe due to the fact, he rarely boxes and his win over Andy Lee was questionable in my opinion. He needs to beat a real stand out name and then I would take him off the list.

In regards to your first point, I don't understand how the WBA works or the ins and out's of it mate.
