    Whether or not it was on the cards a fight with Vasquez is a good one,would be a real coup for Matchroom.Cant see that.As I said before,don't blame Burns handlers for not exactly chasing Broner,hell move up soon anyway.Gavin had areal go but that how does that qualify him for a 2nd shot,at another champion.In the same way I can't understand how Barker and Macklin deserve shots after losing to Martinez and not beating a live contender.Abril might be a potential banana skin and a stinker.Lets see if they take this mandatory,might be a good fighter if he's unbeaten,possible tough one.Harrison definitely doesn't deserve a shot.

    As opposed to what would have been eight months nearly by sticking with his previous promoter. Yeah, he's much worse off. Except by every measure that actually matters!

    :lol: But you know it did, just ask your mate Ben. You used his supposed inside info to shout from the rooftops that the fight wasn't happening and now he has come out and said that the fight actually was signed and apologised to ****** he's a **** source.

    Get a grip Jonsey, even by your own biased standards this is rich.....and for **** sakes, just use the one account.

    Lets be realistic its not going to be Broner, Abril or Vasquez.

    My pick is José A. Gonzalez, 22(17)-0, his promoters last week said José is ready to fight Burns as earlier as next month and they are hoping to secure a summer title challenge.

    His resume is poor, however he is the WBO ranked no1 contender and I imagine Eddie Hearn will use this to sell the fight.

    Just checked Gonzalez record.Hes 29,unbeaten,a lot of knockouts on his record.Knocked out Laryea in 3.If he's the mandatory can't see whats wrong with it.But probably not.

    The thread relating to the Eddie Hearn article covers this and says it will be a 'solid opponent' with possibly Vasquez in Sept.Burns wants Broner but Eddie goes on about needing momentum...looks like burns won't get him ffs. Why not Vasquez on May 11th instead of sept!?

    Yeah, that reporter's main evidence was "no one's answering the phone to a minor journalist from a minor publication".

    Smoking gun if ever I saw one.

    But I do understand why Burns and co thought it was all garbage.

    He had conversations with his managment where they said they were not fighting, and thats not the only evidence which suggests there was no fight. Vasquez said in an interview, Vasquez team said they only signed a contract 3 weeks ago and the documents Frank put on his website go along with that.

    If Icemax and his gang are to blind to see that the guy got a letter from Frank, theres no helping them. Notice he hasnt tweeted since then.

    Icemax and the gang. A serious question. You keep saying Burns will fight bums, what opponents are acceptable for Burns. I gave a list of 20 fighters, pick from there who would be ok?

    Think people are just sick of the double standards Jonesy
    I'll guarantee, whoever it is, if Frank made the same fight, they're would be an outrage and numerous ducking Broner/Vasquez threads

    Its stupid. I like Hearn and VVarren , both should get the same treatment
