    Ricky's seems to be a fairly big lad, is coming off a very good win and Amir's obviously lost but would naturally be thought of in higher stature.

    Great fight for the future and would be very big. Ricky's vastly solidifying his worth and Amir's trying to bounce back into world contention. Who would you have at this point? Who's better?

    Vote on poll.

    50-50 fight, I give Burns the edge because he has more variety.

    Burns by KO.

    Going up in weight would give him more power again,with khans glass jaw he'd be doing the chicken dance for his fans again.

    This could be a 50-50 fight but I think the better the fighter, the better Burns looks. But Khan does not like risks and I doubt he would go for that he likes to stay away from British fighters due to the fact if he fight someone in the quality his career would be nowhere to go. Burns should unify and then look for Adrian Broner foir a huge payday in America and hopefully walk away with 3 titles. I then think he should step up to Light Welter cause he could cope at that weight.

    Khan far too big for Burns, theres a difference in height and build
     
  7. Burns by brutal ko.

    He should cherry pick khan, but stay away free the rest at 140

    I think Burns would stop him late.

    They're the same height, and Burns would be a big Light-Welter. The size of Khan wouldn't be much of a factor. 50-50 fight.

    Burns by KO.
    Khan has a glass jaw and no defence, Khan ain't nobody.

    Burns by stoppage, he's a much better rounded fighter than khan.
