    Fair comment. I'm sure he's on the verge of big purses from huge fights whilst gaining the exposure his ability deserves.

    I like your confidence BTB.
    I'd put my money on your pick at this stage,but I'd still be happy with DeMarco if I'm wrong.

    Vasquez can't be that expensive. I think he's with Arum but he's not a headliner but could become one if he unifies. Arum might think **** it he either stays on undercards or rolls the dice and might become more sellable.

    Fingers crossed.

    One thing's for sure, if it is Vasquez someone needs to order a lot of humble pie.

    TBH after the amount of crap spewed to belittle Demarco as a fighter i don't want to see same posters make out it's a good defence of title because some have basically trashed the guy as someone who was poor champion. If that's the case Burns should be going after the main 3 of Broner, Vasquez and Abril and TBH he should be.

    Demarco could be a broken man after the beating Broner put on him. Sorry but it's not the big fight i wanted for Burns. It's not the unification fight i wanted for the lad but it's a world level fight but against a fighter who could be mentally broken but could also be bang up for it either way though i wanted a champion not a challenger for Burns.

    Edit: If Demarco is the next fight of course ;)

    They said on the Boxnation international commentary that the non-title bout with Quintero only earned Vasquez around $28k before the vultures,so surely he'd come for the best chunk of £200k?

    This is the one I really want as a marker for Broner.

    It was even worse in the General skills.Classic case of Monday morning Quarterbacks.And it was the same with Vasquez before Quintero.
    Vasquez was #1 before Quintero,then almost forgotten,whilst many people with vested interests said DeMarco was the best out there for Broner to take the crown from.
    He was an average fighter who could be outboxed pretty easily.His resiliance and power where his main assets.
    For me,it's only a good fight because I just want to see Ricky fight someone that will make people pay attention if he does well.

    Hes available....If Frank throws enough cash at the situation anything can happen. Its a difficult fight for Burns, more so than a Broner fight I think

    I'm all for Vasquez.Just surprised at how fickle people were on here after Quintero(as if I should be surprised!:patsch)

    It's DeMarco who is the average boxer.Vasquez brings an almost unique set of problems.

    I forgot it was on Still Game (was it?Maybe you just mean the accent?:huh:oops:)

    It was the bird who served me in Subway yesterday who told me it.
    NB.I took my daughter to see Cinderella(Panto) on Sunday,and Stevie the barman from SG was the star of the show.
