Comments Thread For: Crolla: The Winner of Me, Burns is Almost Guaranteed Title Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Anthony Crolla has no doubt he and Ricky Burns will deliver a better fight when they meet on October 7 than they would have done at any time in the past. A contest that has seemed close to happening on a number of occasions over the years has now finally been scheduled, with the pair set to do battle at lightweight at Manchester Arena.

Strongly disagree. If burns wins he'd be facing a guy who has already beaten him soundly. The winner needs another impressive victory to justify a world title shot.

Neither of them beat's linares or garcia tho, The are both intrim champs, good enough to get a vacant title or from a poor opponent but never good enough to defend it against a true champ.

He's probably right, but that won't be because they're the most deserving of it, but rather because of Hearn's connections. Both of them are alright but I'm not really sure I'd rank either in the top 5 at lightweight.

Crolla is right. They won't put the winner in against a legit opponent/beltholder but will find a softy for a meaningless vacant alphabet belt.

Vs Flanagan? What's wrong with that? Both these guys make his resume look weak as water.
