    Far more talented than ricky burns, burns has no power no speed, doesnt use his range. kevin mitchell is a far crisper puncher, talented, with better boxing skills and far more compact defence. anyone seeing burns over each with his right hand looks like an amateur, and his shoddy jab looks sluggish and slow. :rofl

    In terms of skills, and being nice on the eye with those skills, Kev is streets ahead of him.

    Ricky hasn't even got the basics down, IMO. Very stiff, poor movement, lack of head movement, zero pop, clumsy footwork, doesn't set up the shots well...

    Great engine and heart, but thats about it.

    already mentioned mitchell was a drugged up punch bag then, nowadays and before the drugs, mitchell was always the better fighter. remember mitchell could be in for a title shot very soon at lightweight then he would be taking over where burns left.

    Ricky beats Kevin 7 days a week and twice on a Sunday mate.
    More importantly Kevin knows it

    At least Kevin is moving forwards, am afraid Ricky is moving backwards

    Ricky is shot and has been for a while. It's not nice when it happens. Nobody escapes father time.

    Not anymore he doesn't and if you were honest with yourself, you know that to be true too.

    I'd fancy Crolla to do Ricky now as well.

    Anyone who still thinks Ricky is the best LW in the UK needs to get their head examined, Campbell beats him now.
