    could be very intresting division curtis woodhouse alough not fighting at the top level looks a different animal at lightweight. walsh isnt far off neither is flanagan. Couple of new comers which should be up there within a year or so maybe campbell and ward some very good match ups for the future could do maybe something like a super 6 style tournement as alot of these are all with matchroom and the winner going in with burns also with matchroom doubt it but would be fun

    Mitchell defintley for me .I was buzzing for Burns Mitchell especially after Mitchell Murray .That for me proved Burns is defintley the best lightweight in the UK well impressive stoppage .Wouldn't even want to see him against another UK lightweight step back in the wrong direction .I wouldn't complain though think Burns would knock Crolla out .

    A lot of people highly rate liam walsh, I'm sure billy nelson said on here before that he rates him as second behind burns.

    Mitchell for me but you really would realise the gap between Burns and the rest is ****ing hugh Burns would have an easy night against every other lightweight in the UK

    I've based it on what each fighter has achieved and think that's spot on,obviously Martin and Luke are works in progress so unfair to make comment but both talented lads

    Coyle would just be outside this lot IMO but in all honesty how many of the above could you see tommy beating to replace them?

    see your point exactly i sort of agree just thought his performance deserved his name to be thrown in there now but i see where your coming from he isnt quite there yet
