    Ghana http://boxrec.com/ratings.php?country=GH&sex=m&division=Lightweight&status=A&SUBMIT=Go

    Emmanual Tagoe 20-1, lost on his debut looks a world beater.

    Nigeria http://boxrec.com/ratings.php?country=NG&sex=m&division=Lightweight&status=A&SUBMIT=Go

    Nigeria is a no go in my view.

    Kenya is weak: http://boxrec.com/ratings.php?country=KE&sex=m&division=Lightweight&status=A&SUBMIT=Go

    Tanzania is no go: http://boxrec.com/ratings.php?country=TZ&sex=m&division=Lightweight&status=A&SUBMIT=Go

    Now in Canada they have a 11-0 opponent in Ghislain Maduma.

    Nelson will want the biggest pile of crap he can sell as a half credible opponent, who will they pick.

    Sorry mate but I think it's a no-go :-( Looked promising at first, him being from the boxing hotbed that is Accra but delve closer and you will see the problems:

    a) he has been stopped
    b) he has a big fight scheduled. In Accra's National Stadium! (oh wait it's actually the 'Inner Car Park' of the stadium)

    :patsch

    up here in scotland in the daily record it was said they are looking as far as the phillipines for opponents so any top 15 WBO feather or superfeatherwieght opponent is where my money would be or Stephen Smith

    Ji-Hoon Kim

    Exciting fighter, known by the hardcore fans, world rated, very beatable for someone like Burns, would be inexpensive (currently fighting main events on FNF, which means a pay packet of about $10-20k per fight), and is currently in preparation for a fight in December.

    It just makes too much sense to happen, it would seem...

    Kim gets hit far too much but can bang, it would be a good matchup although i think Burns easily beats him.
