Burns-Crawford in January at MSG...says Arum

[bzkfn]

i think that burns is an overachiever. he has never impressed me, yet has somehow stayed on top (kind of) for a while. he just hasnt had to fight anybody that great though. crawford would easily win.

Considering his limitations, I do agree that Burns is an overachiever although he's got some gifts in his career over soft oppositions. He had a chance to face Broner as a mandatory but ducked him twice..

And yep, Crawford would dominate him and knock em out.. Burns loves to come forward so I can definitely see Crawford knocking him out..

Have you seen Ricky Burns fight? More often than not he boxes at range from the back foot. He'll stand and trade but he never comes forward. He also has a fairly decent chin so I don't see Crawford knocking him out at all. I really don't understand why everyone seems to be pulling themselves off watching Crawford, to me he isn't that great. I think people are actually listening to Arum when they say he'd beat the shit outta Broner. Broner would starch Crawford, and the only reason Arum brings it up as he knows there is 0 chance of the fight happening.

Beltran deserves the shot first or at least deserves to take on the winner.
