    After an excellent win over Roman Martinez, Ricky Burns has now made three defences of his WBO title. Although none of these have been considered world level boxers and the fight last night being farsical I think Burns is capable of beating some of the top lads in the division.

    Surely he will have to step back up to world level now so who do you think his next opponent will be.

    Personally I'd be happy to see him in with with any from below:

    Mzonke Fana, Adrian Broner, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Diego Magdelano, Juan Salgado, Roman Martinez 2, Jorge Solis, Luis Cruz, Argenis Mendez or the two Japanese Champions Takashi Uchiyama and Takahiro Ao.

    Broner appears to be his mandatory now but I don't think its a fighter either team want.

    Fish eyes will make noises about Fana but he did before and offered **** money. i reckon we see him in with Mitchell

    Nicky Cook rematch. Clearly there's unfinished business.

    What weight's Alex Arthur around right now? Paul Appleby could beat Al Hamidi in an eliminator?

    Plenty of options out there for the world champ Ricky Burns :good

    ****** said after the fight he would look at making it, SECC is probably the best option for it if they can make it. I'm sure Burns wants the fight but whether Frank will deliver it for him or not is debatable.

    Roe's comment did make me laugh, Billy in truth, did u hear any rumours about Cook's back.

    shame the fight ended like that but can't be helped i guess.

    Who would YOU like burns to fight next

    Mitchell would beat Burns IMO, be a cracking fight though.

    Billy Rob didn't say that you and Ricky don't want the fight. But
