    Shame On You Ricky Burns !

    He has a career best performance against Martinez and then fights 3 bums in Evensen, Lareya and Cook. Then a fight with Adrian Broner is on the cards and he ducks out of it !!

    This is absolutley shocking as far as im concerned, he should take a leaf out of Carl Froch's book !

    couldnt agree more with you hitmanay, burns gt alot of props after his win against rocky, but since then as you say, hes been fighting absolute bums, to say those fights were world title fights is a farce.

      Broner would be a good fight but i'm actually up for watching him fight Michael Katsidis even more.

      Bring on Katsidis vs Burns!

          Think it's as straight forward as that? Whenever I've seen Burns interviewed he emphasizes his frustration with the quality of his opponents since he won the strap, and his desire to fight the best in the division.

          Is it a money thing or has he outright said he doesn't want the fight?

            Burns has struggled with making super feather for a few fights and he moves up in weight to get a bigger pay day, fair play to him.

                More than likely Frank Warren's doing. He wont be making much money if one of his biggest fighters gets beat by an unknown prospect.
