Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns Becomes Three Division Champion, Stops Di Rocco in 8

[Loque-san]

Making history seems so easy these days. You know winning world titles in different weight classes doesn't mean anything anymore when Ricky Burns is a three division champion.

He has never been a top fighter and his title reigns have been unimpressive to say the least. Burns "made history".

Come on Eddie, make Burns vs Broner/Matthysse/Provod' at the San Siro in Milan.

It tells you what kind of weakass boxing era we're living in,

when someone like Burns can become a 3 division world champion

we all know he's losing that belt to anyone with a pulse, though

thankyou. well said.

He's the 1st Scottish boxer to hold 3 World titles in 3 weight divisions. He's only the 3rd British fighter to do it. Bob Fitzsimmons did it in 1903 and Duke Mackenzie did it in 1992 and now Ricky Burns has done it in 2016.

Thanks for the info. And that's not bad for the Scott...keep it up!
