    Or even get him out as a chief support on the Crolla/Abril bill?

    Do you think Ricky can win a LW world title again?

    He coasted to an easier victory against Beltran, when Crawford tried turning southpaw against Burns the Crawford lovers in the RbRs were panicking because Burns was beating him to the jab, interestingly Burns also beat Gonzalez to the jab when Gonzalez switched to southpaw

    I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make? Burns was comfortably beaten. Doesn't matter if he performed slightly better than Beltran or not, he was completely outclassed.

    And you are letting your hatred of Billy cross over into hatred of Ricky, calling Ricky the least charismatic world champion in British history is beyond hyperbolic

    I'm really not.

    I don't hate anyone, either. Hate is a strong word.

    well your ignorance of talent is embarrassing. Ricky reached the top at his preferred profession have you?

    Did he? Which unification fights did he win?

    Burns is the perfect example of a paper champ who was the huge beneficiary of there being too many world titles.

    You said Burns was world level, how is that not the top?

    Why are you so harsh on Ricky? Yet I notice you still big up Scott Quigg

    Scott's career isn't over.

    Elite level > world level

    Why does Sorehole ruin every single thread about RB? Not sure where the rickster goes next but not a southpaw lol needs to get back on the jab like he can

    Ricky has had a great career, far more than anybody thought possible. but it's time to hang them up, he's shot. everything is all over the place.

    he's served Boxing very well and has some genuinely good memories to look back on, but it's time to move on, before he gets really hurt.
