    They would love the Ricky Burns fight but I think it will be an overseas opponent

    To be fair the Mcguigans have done a really nice job with him so far- look forward to seeing who’s next.

    I know it will not be catterall he won that British title his already talking about fighting Flanagan thats if Flanagan wins the wbo title which he will hooker is trash but it a joke catterall is ranked so high even before he beat Tyrone lol his overrated and has a trash record compared to Taylor

    Burns apparently rejected fight offer for March. No idea who opponent is, no even heard a murmur this time.

    It would have been nice for it to be Yigit for the European title but he doesn't want the Taylor fight.

    Hope it's not burns I like Ricky but he has little to no chance against josh. Anything other than a top 10 ranked fighter would be a bit of a gutter imo.

    Yeah I think he's number 2-3 with the ibf which is surprising as he didn't look all that great against joe Hughes lacks size and power at 140 for me.

    Do people here want to see him fight Burns?
    I cant see how Ricky wins or even troubles Taylor.

    I think pretty much everyone likes Ricky Burns so no I can’t see anyone wishing that on him.

    Yigit supposed to be fighting Baranchyk in IBF Eluminator. Top 4 of WBC tied up, Broner and Figueroa might fight. Catterall chasing WBO and Flanagan. Burns apparently declined. Not much left but not Cyclones fault.

    Then I see press conference tomorrow in Glasgow for fight in Glasgow and if moving back to Glasgow would have to be good fight to sell. Interesting !

    Not much left though. Konda ? Troyanovsky ?
