Comments Thread For: Top Rank Wants Burns vs. Crawford in Early 2013

[CTC JOHNNY]

Garcia is better then the guy Crawford just fought and he didnt get killed at all. Gary Russell??? Come on bro..... Smh he fights bums.

Mikey does not have the reflexes or the athletic ability to keep a fighter with does abilities a there disposal !! Mikey is a decent fighter thats all but a robot with a basic counter puncher style but no real speed or footwork all

Mikey is a smart and sound boxer with really good power. He would give anybody problems. Also we have really yet to see how Crawford takes a good punch so keep that in mind.

Crawford vs gamboa burns sucks

Crawford has only been on the scene for a year, I think fans are criticizing him a bit too much. I'm disappointed in his lack of aggression last night, but at least it didn't put me to sleep or give me a headache. Maybe it's because I had my stream on mute lol. I am looking forward to Crawford vs. Burns/Beltran.

Crawford would have no problem with Burns unless the fight is in the UK then he will likely get ROBBED!

That might be true about Garcia at 126 or 130, but it remains to be seen how much power he will have at 135 or above. And Crawford is a career LW and has been fighting bigger guys throughout his career. A real 135lber will be the one to check his chin not Mikey. IMO Mikey is just like stablemates Donaire and Rios, he was a huge FW,like Rios was huge at 135 and Donaire at 118 and below. But since they have started fight bigger guys their power isn't the same.

Crawford weighed in the 150's for the night he's a jrww who drains himself down maybe that had something to do with his performance,

TR wants to get him that belt so he can move up in weight asap but too think Burns would be ready that soon doubtful he'll prolly try for a tune-up 1st

Burns should have cashed out with that Broner payday. Now look where his career is headed.

Why does it take Victor Ortiz 1.5 years to heal, while Burns only a few months?
