    How would you rate Ricky Burns's chin?

    Seems to have a good chin in the fights I have seen.
     
  2. It isn´t great to be honest. He has been down a few times, but he has a tight defence. He has a good balance between defending and attacking. He is the perfect example of the classical boxer. Brilliant jab and underrated skills. :deal

    You could see how cut Burns looked against Mitchell, I doubt he can make SFW comfortable anymore

    Now back to ur potato sandwich little man

    Yet you're telling him to fight someone his own size at 135.

    Doesn't change the fact that Broner has never ducked Burns. I doubt the fight ever happens one way or the other. Burns is completely unknown stateside, Broner isn't well known in the UK, and both guys have plenty of other options where they'd make more money. The dollars (and pounds) just don't make sense. That doesn't mean anyone is ducking anyone though.

    I think like Cotto,his chin is benefitting from the added weight.Wouldn't you concur?
    Good to see Ricky getting some long overdue credit.He was toiling through Commonwealth title bouts just three and a bit years ago.If that's not the most improved boxer in Europe,I don't know who is.

    Lets be fair. Broner didnt duck Burns. Burns had out grown SFW and moved up to LW, but now that Broner is at LW, I dont think he would dare to travel to Scotland to face the champ. Burns would be too much of a handful for Broner to want to go near.
    Burns late stoppage

    No one ducked anyone.

    Broner was Burns' mandatory, Burns moved up in weight to take a very tough fight, I see both Broner and Burns moving up again in the next couple of years.
