    When billy nelson said a few weeks ago Scott Harrison would make a good fight for Ricky I nearly spot my coffee on my laptop. Do you think it's about time he started unifying and a fight with Adrian the problem broner would propel burns into the big time. It's sad how frank handles his fighters. It also make the wbo belt look a joke.

    He's beat Katsidis, Moses and Mitchell at Lightweight, 3 world level opponents to be fair.

    Ricky Burns seems to want to fight for the Ring title or in a unification fight so hopefully those fights can happen.

    Ricky Burns vs Miguel Vasquez IBF

    Ricky Burns vs Antonio Demarco WBC

    Ricky Burns vs Richard Abril vs Sharif Borgere winner WBA

    Ricky Burns vs Adrien Broner

    Any of the above fights would be good.

    Well ****** wants Harrison to keep busy, & going by tonights showing by Burns Scotty needs more time before hes up to speed enough to have a serious go at Ricky, so I cant see that fight happening next.

    Ricky beats all these guys. But he won't get anywhere near them ****** will feed him a snooze fest for the next few years.

    Burns would execute any version of Harrison, it's all about levels. Prime or not.

    We need to see Burns in with the likes of Vazquez, DeMarco etc. He's got a real chance to be THE lightweight champion of the world.

    Buchanan
    Duran
    Watt
    Arguello
    Mayweather
    Marquez

    Burns..?

    Seize the moment!!!!

    There is a step up from a well prepared Mitchell ?

    Surely not

    Dunky cum in his pants when he saw that list:lol:
     
  10. Broner would win every round against burns and stop him late. Nobody beats broner.

    But Ricky burns is a good shout against anyone else at the weight

    LOL

    From what was said before this fight there was nothing that could compare to a fully prepared mitchell.he was supposedley the more talented and if he showed up in good condition he'd have a walk in the park.

    When will burns ever get the credit he deserves?

    Two former world champions aren't world level fighters. Only on ESB.

    Even Godzilla would be shitting his pants.

    Broner would diffuse the Ark from the first Indy movie.

    His abilities are super natural.
