    Well what about Mitchell then?

    He's never won a world class fight, in fact he was blasted out in both world class fights, so how can he be getting a world title shot before Ricky Burns.

    As for Snooze ya loose, Well i must have been giving it the big ZZZzzz's because I cant remember Mitchell climbing the ranks with world level wins.
    Mitchell's been caught snoozing in all his big fights.

    He's been climbing the IBF rankings with his last couple of wins, if his promoter is putting up the money to bring Vasquez here, then he will get the title shot. There's been plenty of less deserving title challengers over the years

    Who's Mitchell been fighting to climb the IBF rankings? And don't say the the last guy flat feet joe from Georgio.

    Mitchell should be fighting Crolla/Murray and Hearn should be putting up the money to bring a champion over for Ricky Burns as he's the most deserving and everybody knows this.

    Normally when I would have looked at the rankings I would have thought it was just Hearn not been as much of a slut in bed with the WBO as he is with the IBF, but then you see Anthony Crolla sitting above Ricky in the rankings and you realise Ricky is getting the short straw, especially with Mitchell getting a world title shot on home soil.
    Burns's management better get Hearn told.

    If i was Ricky or Billy id be slightly pissed off at the situation regards Mitchell getting anywhere near a crack at world level without beating anyone with a pulse ........

    Ricky's been outclassed in his last three fights. He needs to rebuild and doesn't deserve a shot at the title. It's really that simple.

    Does the class of Crollas recent opponents make him worthy of a higher ranking and Mitchells class of opponents make him more worthy of a title shot than ricky ?? id like to think not from what ive seen

    To be honest if I was Ricky I would tell Hearn to get f*cked or i would pull out the fight with an injury.
    I mean we see fighters doing this all the time and i'm sure the fans would understand.

    Lets have it right here, Ricky has to drop down two levels, whilst a guy he pumped in Kevin Mitchell who has done nothing since is getting a shot at a world title on home soil.
    It's bang out of order and a total slap in the face to Ricky Burns who is a two weight world champion with 10 world title fights on his resume. This fight is an insult to Scottish boxing.

    May i remind you of the Gavin Rees win. Gavin fought for a world title the fight before and Crolla beat him easy. No1 had an issue with Gav getting a title shot did they :deal
