    The fact that Burns still works weekends in JJB is a testament to what a great guy he is. He's a world champion, something 99% of the population will never be, yet he never forgets his roots and keeps it real.

    I don't think he'll ever overtake Buchanan. But he can secure his legacy by continuing to beat top fighters. The lightweight division is stacked though, Frank better make the right choices for the fans.

      Huh? Overtake Buchanan? You mean overtake Ken Buchanan? The HOF great? He would have to beat some serious **** to even have the slightest, most miniscule chance of being considered to compare to Buchanan, let alone overtake him.

      How the fudge did this topic even come up? Ken Buchanan beat numerous HOFers and legends. Burns would honestly have to go and beat Pac or Mayweather (seriously....or at lead Marquez, Rios, Khan and Bradley all together) to even be considered up there with a HOF lightweight great like Buchanan. He sucks bollocks in every single way and doesn't compare to the training laces on Kens smelly boots.

      WTF? Who even brought up this comparison?

        Fish Scotland did.

        I say ' don't think ' because Burns plans to have 100 professional bouts before retiring. This is boxing, Hopkins is in new ground, G.Johnson, V.Klitschko, JMM, Tarver. Burns might become the Lightweight king.

          Punch stats dont lie. Burns took his game to anotrher level on Saturday.

          I think before that he was widely regarded as a Warren product who would be given easy defences at home but the ease in which he handled Kats showed he is genuinley world class and now a 2 weight champion.

          Kats has only ever lost to world champs but doesnt seem as intense as he once was.
