Ricky Burns is one of the biggest overachievers in boxing. When he was Commonwealth Champion I didn't think he'd go anywhere. I certainly didn't think he'd be a 2 division world champion who'd knock out Kevin Mitchell. I think it stands to reason that because of this, they have to match him carefully because he's done well, but he isn't a world class fighter by any stretch of the imagination.
I'd expect Crawford to beat him, but people are jumping on the Crawford bandwagon and he isn't really all that IMO.
