    Lets Make Ricky Burns V Khan @ 140lbs

    I think this would be a good fight, Even though Ricky Burns is not regarded as a big puncher he can stop people like he did with Kevin Mitchell, So he would be appealing to Team Khan, Khan is coming off two back to back losses and Burns would take the fight for the money and because he will think Khan is on the slide not to mention they are both British fighters so a "domestic showdown" is in the offing, Not just that but Ricky Burns is huge LW he can move up a few pounds to 140lbs

    Good fight at 140 but is Khan still at 140?

        Burns has hardly ever fought at 140, I don't think it's a great idea for him to step in there with a 2 time world champ at the weight, at least not until he has had a couple of bouts at the weight against decent opponents.

        Burns should back himself and fight Broner.

          khan vs burns isn't a bad match up, burns has fought above 140 several times before and it'd be a good test for both of them at this juncture.

              Well I would like to see this fight for sure. Possibility but by the time Burns moves up to 140 Khan will probably have moved up to 147.

                Ricky is tall enough to take this weight for sure...

                  it would be khan vs molina all over again, money wise a good fight, but not good for burns career yet

                  he needs to get it cracking with broner

                    Burns isn't ready for that fight
                    people acting like Khan is done after the Garcia loss
                    Khan is still good, and at JWW, too much for Burns
                    Khan would UD him, let Burns do something else for now
