    People shouldn't right Burns off because of the Beltran fight. His jaw was done and how he survived the fight amazes me. From round 2 on wards he was in survival mode, hence why he was holding more than usual. I think Burns beats Beltran in the rematch convincingly. I do feel for Beltran though as he was robbed. As far as the top 5 is concerned i'm not sure. But if Adrien Broner came back down (which is highly unlikely) I think Broner beats everyone in the division.

    If Burns is your number 1, how come Beltran who clearly beat him isn't even in your Top 5?

    To be honest I would have Beltran about 10-12, don't be fooled by his performance against a man who was so badly injured, Raymondo was on his way to a beating if the injury never happened please beleive me

    **** me, you'd have given Goebbels a run for his money had you been around at the same time.

    Just to make it clear, Beltran broke Burns jaw as a result of Ricky's dog**** defence. The same defence that Gonzalez was able to break through whenever he wanted too. It is disingenuous to blame Burn's jaw on the performance as it was a direct result of Beltran's punch. Had Ricky's shoulder popped, or his knee given way, you'd have had a legitimate excuse.

    As it stands you are simply talking complete and utter bollocks. As per usual.

    Nohes not mate Beltran is good but beleive me when I say his performance was made to look better purely coz of Ricky's injury and the fact he couldn't perform anywhere near 100%

    Chicken and the egg Billy.

    Burns broken jaw was a DIRECT result of Beltran punching him. Who is to say the exact say won't happen again?

    You are picking and choosing the facts to suit your biased agenda.

    Don't think I made it clear enough, I don't chat to new members. I find you all to be boring attention seekers. I will not reply to you again no matter how much you continue to follow me around desperately seeking my attention and my approval.

    Go play with the traffic.
