    Burns does not have the power, style or physical strength to beat Khan. Think it would be similar to the Malignaggi fight.

    Burns has just moved to 135, Khan is looking to leave 140. Not realistic.

    If it did happen, I think Burns would lose to a better version of himself. Technical flaws, speedy, tough, likes to box.
     
  10. I think Burns is at his best when the opponent is trying to take his head off, so he can pick his shots well and exploit mistakes that are made.

    Khan makes plenty :hey

    Khan is known to like fighter with not a big ko percent .I think it would be a good fight for both fighters just now .If Khan's moving up to WW he's going to be up against huge punchers it's a good fight for him coming off the Peterson loss .Burns I think been up against a fighter as big as Khan would well relish it and i'd give him a chance of winning because we know Burns is known to fight better against the better level opposition

    :rofl:rofl

    :rofl:rofl Martinez has never been a legitimate world champion. Katsidis has never even held a full title.

    Billy your knowledge of the game impresses me so much...honest.
