Could you blame Ricky Burns for ducking Adrien Broner?

[Birkonian]

Ricky Burns is at best a B level fighter. He has already acheived more than anyone ever thought possible, in becoming a 2 division 'world' champion. He is clearly nowhere near Adrien Broner's level, it would be embarrassing seeing these 2 in the ring together.

Could you really blame the guy if he ducked out of a fight with Broner in order to keep a hold of his paper title? It's not often Scotland gets a champion.

[Larry the boss]

He would be Broners Hatton

You are underrating Burns in a sense, but are right saying that he easily gets handled by Broner.

Burns might as well step up and cash out, as Broner won't be staying at 135 very long.

If I was Warren his promoter? NO! From a business standpoint, yes it would be wise to probably stay away from Broner if you can and continue to draw well in the UK

but from a fan standpoint, I makes him look VERY BAD AND WEAK because he ducked him a 130 and if he does it again at 135 that will look VERY BAD

Agreed. Ricky keeps beating expectations, but no chance vs Broner.

That pretty much sums it up. I don't mind if he ducks Broner or whoever calls the shots for him.

Burns is an A- fighter.

Wins over R. Martinez, Katsidis, Mitchell, Moses, Cook.

These guys are B fighters. If you can beat B/B- fighters, then you are above that. At least B+.

Might as well get a payday and understand Broner will leave the division by the end of the year. Burns can pick up the trinket after Broner drops it.

But Broner is an A++ fighter. Burns get's extinguished if he steps into the ring with him.

Broner looks like he should be swinging from a tree
