I will be amazed if Burns does not pull out. sykes should be up near a crack at whoever else comes in though. He would beat Burns but could do with another decent test before fighting at that level.
dream on maz ma man rickys at a diffrent level to gary imo,thats not to say i dont think hes good which he is:bbb
no i certainly wouldn't do that,i can only go of what ive seen of him and feel ricky matches sykes in all depts and some more,of coarse thats only my opinion lads.
I am a huge Sykes fan. Watched most of his fights live and the kid has huge class. He is certainly in need of a few tough fights before going for a belt but if the opportunity comes then I guess he should take it...make or break him though. I would have thought Burns had bigger fish to fry at the moment though.
