I never said I think a world title is near but worse things have happened in boxing than Crolla fighting for a world title.He obviously isn't the best option outhere but if he beat Rees which I doubt he will why not.Ricky was given a chance at Martinez without accomplishing much more than a British title and a few domestic wins so what is so bad about Crolla getting a chance. Can I ask Billy,if Rees and Crolla are not on Ricky's radar then who else is? Abril and Vasquez are the other champions,then there's guys like Demarco,Beltran,Thompson and Figueroa knocking around too.
Too many Brits on this site want to see Ricky Burns fail, they will deny it, but its obvious. It grinds on their nerves that Ricky keeps proving them wrong. Gonzalez didnt have a champions heart, Ricky has, and thats why he won. I think Ricky would've stopped Gonalez if he didnt quit on his stool. Im not buying the arm excuse, the guy clearly had nothing left in the tank, his corner rubbing his legs and trying to motivate him to get up etc. Even Gonzalez countrymen were not happy with the way he quit.
The reason Ricky was made No1was he hadn't lost for some time and he was the commonwealth champion,draw a comparison with Anthony,won British against John Watson who had previously lost twice for the title,stopped by Derry and drew with Derry when many thought Derry won again.So I can't really see were your coming from mate. Derry lost to Gavin and I'm sure know he simple lost to the better man that's the way it goes,Derry hasn't shouted out he wants to fight Ricky coz he understands you need to earn the right to fight for a world title,if he beats tommy in Hull I'm sure he will look at the bigger picture afterwards.
Got to be a top 10 followed by a unification fight. Would be disappointed if its a domestic fight as he has proved he is better than that. It's the domestic **** ****** was pushing for with his own fighters.
HAHAHA Billy Billy Billy, i like you mate, you are sound, but no1 ever kicks a dead dog......why make this thread, you're world champions and ur making threads about crolla. see you in glasgow. win lose or draw! we r coming for a session and we have earnt it! i told you crolla could do thisz ands he has just dominated gavin. i dont care what you say here, this has surprised u massive!!!!! get it up yiiiiiiiiiiii:good
I'm a big Crolla fan and as much as I like Burns too would have to support Anthony were this to happen. That being said, it's a one-sided fight. Don't see the attraction in it for Burns. There are many other fights at lightweight and perhaps even at light-welter that I would like to see Burns in. Crolla is a strong domestic fighter, not sure if he is built for lightweight, hence the reason I feel Burns would tear him apart...and it hurts me a bit to say that.
Listen guys my hat goes off to Anthony he dug in well, although I had Rees 2 up its all about opinions. One things for sure Anthony shouldn't get a fight with Ricky it would be so wrong IMO Burns would dominate Anthony until either he got KO'd or the ref stopped it
Fair play to Billy, least he's not doing what sky is and making out Crolla to be a world title contender when he's not even the best at domestic level.
