    Seriously what's happening with these two? have a missed something? Are they fighting soon or are there careers ticking away.... these times will be regretted for sure

    Burns was out three times last year and last fought in November. Hearn is probably going to match him with Crolla or Campbell at some point this year.

    Khan is now WBC mando.

    From Hearsay ricky will fight a final WBO eliminator in april to be mandatory for the winner of Flannagan/Matthews
     
  5. Burns v Mitchell, last chance fight for both. Winner moves on, loser should retire gracefully.

    Mitchell is fighting Tatli.

    And Ricky is out on the Joshua O2 card in April in an eliminator for the WBO as Stevie mentions above.

    As mentioned above Kev already has a bout with Tatli to get through and another point would be the fact that they both now have the same trainer!

    I can't see them fighting each other whilst this is still the case. haha

    I think khan vs brook is never going to happen. I'm completely bored of khan and his constant BS

    Zepeda?

    Think the winner of Flanagan/Mathews will fight in a unification bout with Crolla in the Summer.

    Ricky Burns has not looked anything like himself under Tony Simms

    Khan has been given the run around by Pac & Mayweather and is currently pricing himself out of the Brook fight.

    Burns was out numerous times last year and is manoeuvring himself into position to be mandatory for the WBO.
     
  12. He looked awful in his last threw fights under Billy. Was finished by the time he arrived under Tony.

    agree with the first part, he looked bang average at the end with billy but i think they just got to the stage where ricky maybe didn't trust billy quite as much as when they were winning titles.

    tony sims imo is just a lucky boy who has managed to get fighters off the back of being somewhat related or friends with eddie hearn.

    ricky would have been better training with peter harrison or joe gallacher when he left billy but eddie and tony managed to get him down and i think that ricky doesn't trust tony that much but doesn't want to admit it.

    Well if he didnt trust me as you claim,he wouldnt have asked me to train him again just before xmas.
    however with Luke and Cambell losing Ricky seems to have been elivated upwards and decided to stay in London, good luck to him

    You talk about TRUST has if you remotely know or knew anything about Ricky ,me or his training, were the truth is you know nothing, so please keep your thoughts to yourself.
    Again if he didnt TRUST Tony he wouldnt have stayed there would he? Tony by the way is a real nice guy
