Ricky Burns has only been in 4 fights in a 10 year professional career where he hasn't been at least 1/33 to win. And he's lost 2 of them
![]() It was a very good surprising win against Roman Martinez but fuck sake. Mitchell's win over Prescott was more impressive. At least Prescott had one good win to his name. Burns struggled at British level and then got swerved on to a pretend world title without even rematching the likes of Carl Johanneson and Alex Arthur. Don't get me wrong, I like Ricky Burns. I went mental during his fight with Martinez and will continue to cheer him on when he finally steps up again. End of. |

Both Murray and Mitchell beat him IMO tho. If he steps up in weight he'll be beaten regardless of who wins. But then again, I said he'd lose to Martinez as well |

I have seen Ricky boxing since he was a young kid of 11 and he has always had a touch of class, i remember when he was 15 and was knocking out cold decent level senior fighters including a commonwealth games medalist from Edinburgh ( i can't remember his name though). His amateur coach told everybody that day he would be world champion and he has done.
I'm sure Ricky would like his opposition to be better as any fighter would but it is down to your management team, against Mitchell or Murray i would give him a great chance of beating both and i believe a step up in weight would maybe bring back the explosive power he showed all through his amateur career. |

I don't think Burns beats either Murray nor Mitchell but to be honest I don't really care, I just want to see him in a decent fight again rather than being spoon fed easy defences. This defence against Cook is an insult.
