    So he must have to drop one belt then? As the other belt organisation want him to fight Pulev, I * hate all these boxing organisations competing with each other.

    Hearns 3 fight plan for Jushua ( Pulev Ortiz then Wilder )

    Eddie Hearn has mapped out a three fight plan for current IBF and WBA world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, which over the next twelve months which will see Joshua defending his belts in mandatory fights that have been ordered both governing bodies and then leaving the possibility of a “super-fight” next summer.

    At this stage, aye. Massive disservice to Burns at his peak though.

    Burns has a chance in this fight, unfortunately if he or Crolla fights Taylor both are getting walked through.

    The fight makes sense but am I looking forward to it? Not really..

    2 fighter's on the way out. Had their peaks and won't get back to it again regardless of who wins this..

    Burns is done and Crolla is very limited also. A point's win for Crolla looks likely but Burns may cause a little shock and win it on point's. Can't see it though..

    Would've been better in Glasgow as well..

    As for Malignaggi/McGregor. Don't want to see that one sided beat down and stoppage. That strawweight Malignaggi is completely finished..

    Supposedly any time they sparred it was epic. I fancy a very close fight with great action throughout.

    Agree totally. Taylor would make very quick, messy work of both of them. Would be brutal to watch Burns getting picked apart off of Josh.

    Neither fighter here has power, and Burns has a fantastic engine, so hoping he can outwork Crolla to a points win.

    When did they last spar?

    Said straight after the Taylor/OD fight that I didn't want burns to go out like that against Taylor, as Taylor would smash him silly..

    At least in this fight I give Crolla no chance of stopping him so if Burns can really get a game plan going, Figueroa style, then he has a chance..

    I fear Crolla will be the busier throwing punches and working Burns as both have top class engine's, but Burns just not doing enough to take the win in Crolla's home city. Both are really on the decline and have had some fall from grace..
