    Well, good old Billy's sure making himself look like an angry dick isn't he!

    Shame for Burns. Not his fault that nobody around him have any confidence in his ability and feel the need to feed him bum after bum.

    ****ing rediculous, makes me sick. This was his shot, his big chance, then they try to take it away from him.

    Perhaps i should of put he says he can make Super Feather and be 100%


    Maybe he is feeling his strength more at LightWeight (Amir Khan ?)

    Maybe he has a better offer on the table ?

    Maybe he is starting to feel the weight might not shift in the manner they are accustomed too or would like.......as of recently i mean ?


    Anyways, i aint no trainer or conditioner.......just a thought.

    or maybe he is ducking a tough mandatory so his promoter can make fights with Mitchell, Murray & Arthur.

    Really? Will we get a world class opponent then? Or are we going down the Amir Khan name washed up route

    He will probably have a scrap with Lee McAllister for one of the pointless belts he holds and sell it as a big world title fight, alot like Rogan.

    After three truly awful defences, you'll understand when no one offers Ricky or Billy the benefit of the doubt.

    I have no idea as to his next opponent.

    I simply dont think Mitchell will take the fight.

    I dont think Murray will either.

    I dont think Arthur will make Lightweight.

    All i know is Billy and Ricky want big fights.

    Regarding the promotional side of things, i have no idea as to how much input they have (i dont ask of such stuff)

    they have been offered a big fight and appear to be on the verge of rejecting it.
