Ricky Burns...who can stop him at 135

[CHOWWOKKA]

Broner would wipe his ass with Burns

I like Broner - would love to see them fight.

Ricky's done a small nation in Scotland proud no matter what

I'll be honest, I have Burns equal to any Lightweight after that performance.

I always knew he was a good boxer bit he showed a completely different side tonight.

I'd have him even against Vazquez and only a slight underdog against either DeMarco or Broner.

I do think he'd have trouble with Abril (styles & all that) but I also thought he would outbox Mitchell.

It will be very interesting to see what's next. Unfortunately he is with Frank Warren who will just milk him as much as he can.

If he was signed with Eddie Hearn I would expect a decent bout next.

Martinez = easy

Katsidis = easy

Moses = easy

Mitchell = easy

Who's next?!!!!

He fought Martinez at 130 and that wasn't and easy fight at all. That was probably Burn's best fight and it could have gone either way. I had it 6 rounds a piece giving Martinez the edge because of the kd in the first round. I had it 144-113 Martinez, it was a close fight and Burns got the hometown decision. Burns would have lost the fight had it been in Puerto Rico.

Burns would out box Broner with ease.

Good one SCtrojan. You can be funny sometimes.

Damn, no one respect Miguel Vazquez around this site. Titere is the best LW right now.

Resume wise it's DeMarco right now. Wins over Linares and Molina, two top 10 LW's at the time.

Abril has a claim to that as well. You could argue very easily that he should have wins over Prescott and Lundy, as well as Rios and Acosta.

Burns really only has his win over Mitchell, but he also beat Martinez at 130 too, so he has some good wins.

Vazquez really only has his win over Prescott and Kim.

Oh and Broner would beat Burns ass, there's a reason Ricky and his team vacated that title last fall rather than fight Broner.

No because he was really stuggling making weight. He is a massive lightweight and is now struggling to make that weight aswell.

They reported on strong talks for Broner-Burns to fight last November, and than Warren stopped negotiations, Burns vacated his title, and moved to 135. So if he was struggling so greatly to mae weight, why even have serious talks about fighting Broner???

Warren didn't want Burns to come to the US and take a beating. I hope that fight comes off at 135, though I doubt it because Broner will have the WBC title, who don't like unifications and he'll be looking to fight Gamboa, while Burns will be busy fighting Harrison and Rees.
