Where's the outrage of Ricky Burns getting a title shot?

hating on boxers who are practising fakism isn't hating. don't pretend that their skin colour has anything to do with their faking - because that's YOU being racist.

 

I don't use the term lightly, Rocco brought nothing to table. He was horrific.

 

Don't really see the issue with Burns winning that title. Biggest question would be why Di Rocco was a champion. Burns is legit, you don't win titles at three weights if you're not.

 

He's a great fighter whether you like it or not. 3 class world champion, never been knocked out against superb opposition, won 4 rounds vs Crawford which is possibly better than anyone else can ever do south of 140. Among all the British paper champions, one could argue it's only Burns who's a true champion (since Frampton vacated).

 

Practicing fakism?

 

what u mean tyson fury isn't the true champ?.atsch

 

Didn't Beltran get busted for peds soon after this?

 

yes, continually accepting decisions where its clear he lost, and then faking another world title defence after that.

 

Bute shouldn't be on that list. He consistently fights top guys, albeit with mixed results.

 

Don't pretty much all boxers do this? It is rare that you see a boxer admit that they received a gift decision.

You do seem to dislike Burns a lot. Is there any other reason why, other than this "fakism"? Also, other than the Beltran fight, which I think we can all agree that he should have lost, which other gift decsions did he receive?
