I feel it's time for Ricky Burns to call it a day, he did not look up to much he was pretty poor,!
Ricky has had 10 World title fights, he's a nice guy he has nothing to prove, he's not the same
fighter time to get out with all your marbles.
Ricky loves boxing but I can't see the point in becoming a punch bag,! but again fighters never
no when to walk away.:(
Being off the domestic scene, I've never really seen him, but I woke up 3 am this morning and so tuned into his fight and it was poor. I'd heard his name so expected something, but he was flabby and allowed himself to be outworked. Commentators sounded down on him too. Maybe fading, but I've no idea.
Against Kevin Mitchell he was brilliant but since then he has not looked that class. Give him time at this level, if it does not improve and is not there there, he should call it a day.
Ricky's last 4 fights have been pretty poor, I can't see him getting any better remember when youQuote:

Burns got a gift title, and kept it on the European side fighting Latinos with no name or European no-hopers.
He bit off more than he could chew with Beltran and after that they threw him in there with Crawford- a guy they wrongly expected that they would beat handily. When he got Katsidis, Katsidis was all but done.
He had a good run. But much like Gavin Reese, it was only a matter of time before they petered out.
Ní mór Ricky long chun léim más cuí leis i ndáiríre go bhfuil dornálaíochta cuid dá todhchaí agus ciallaíonn sin trasnú sin lochán agus ag cur ar cuma difriúil . A iontach dom nach bhfuil Mayweather táthar ag iarraidh a chrochadh suas an leathair bunaithe ar a dhá performanes uafásach i gcoinne plodder tríthoiseach amháin agus fós ar overachiever i Ricky iarrtar ar scor bunaithe ar fheidhmíocht leibhéal.
Lol anyway what I said ^
Ricky needs to jump ship if he really thinks that boxing is part of his future and that means crossing that pond and taking on a different look. Its amazing to me that Mayweather is not being asked to hang up the leather based on his two terrible performanes against a one dimensional plodder and yet an overachiever in Ricky is asked to retire based on a level performance.
Burns is not a great fighter he's a good one,! he was a World Champion at 2 different if that's
luck well we all need some,! he had a good boxing brain he had been put on the floor a few times,
but he was a tough SOB , he beat opponents he was not supposed too but he did.
Ricky Burns has achieved more than most fighters a World Champion, he deserves credit but I
think it's time to retire, it's not there anymore.!
@Dia bando you leave his ass alomne he is not done yet.Quote:

I think kevin mitchell should rematch him and claim that ass.
Kevin mitchell would mirk him in a rematch, no doubt about it.
I dont know Mitchell looked awful against maduma. Very interested to see how he does against Estrada. He gave Figueroa hell so be a good fight to gauge how mitchell has progressed.Quote:

Burns was on fire against Mitchell that was his peak. Wonder what would happen now.
He beat Roman Martinez who has only since been beaten by Mikey Garcia. That was a well earned world title. He won his 2nd world title off Katsidis and defended against Moses, Mitchell, Gonzalez, Beltran and Crawford. Combined recs of 133-7. 2 of which unbeaten. He was a decent under dog against Crawford and noone was expecting an easy win for him.Quote:

Fury is a lot less talented than, Burns or Mitchell as talent goes people like HW very rare do the
big guys produce, memorable fights can't think of a single fight Fury has impressed me, not one
fight.!;)
What does this have to do with Fury;DQuote:

What memorable fights have either Burns or Mitchell produced that were exciting? Mitchell getting wiped out by faded Katsidis?
:rolleyes:
Have a mince pie I was thinking your a Fury fan.:rolleyes:Quote:
