If Ricky beats Mitchell I would say the next fight would be defiantly someone with a bit of world class pedigree someone like Juan Manual Marquez to be honest. If Kevin beats Burns he promised John Murray the first shot at the title and then if he can get through that maybe Rios would be a good fight
Marquez isn't just world class, he is an elite level fighter and a division above and truth be told he would batter Burns from pillar to post. Frank would never make that match up.
Been lurking on here for a week or two trying to find out if this fight will happen,time I contributed. Not looking good i'm affraid Tweets from Ciaran Shanks http://scotboxnation.wordpress.com/ Ciaran Shanks ‏ @CiaranShanks @KevinMitchell6 I just interviewed Ricky Burns at a show in Glasgow tonight, says he isn't going to fight you despite your claims Kevin Mitchell ‏ @KevinMitchell6 @CiaranShanks @kevinmitchell6 if he ain't gonna fight me... That says it all!! Ciaran Shanks ‏ @CiaranShanks @KevinMitchell6 he never said he would not fight you, his promoter told me there was no way Burns would fight u at Upton Park
i am not arse licking Billy here, as he has slagged me off before for some of my comments, But i do feel that Burns Mitchell will be a great great fight and I think it is a 50/50 fight, but i do think the fight should be in Scotland if the champion prefers, and Kev should not get a 50/50 spilt in purse money, which i have read , (right or wrong) that is what he was wanting, Ricky is the Champion, and should fight on his terms and he and Billy should do what is best for them, and if kev really wants it and think he can win, then he should go for it,
