    Just seen on IFL that Warren made an offer to Matchroom for this fight with Frank himself covering Tete's purse and putting £20k on top of the purse Matchroom would give to Burnett.

    Great offer and a quality fight on paper, shame Matchroom don't seem to be keen.

    Fair enough I guess if it's a unification, but Tete would be a quality fight.

    Love to see this fight but Hearn won't risk another beating.

    Tete would be far too much for Burnett at this stage and Hearn knows this

    I agree, but there's no shame in that, as Tete is too much for most fighters. He just doesn't have the profile sadly to match his abilities sadly.

    Tete is overrated based on a win over a very off-form butler, who was too small for him; and Burnett is almost criminally underrated. I have no doubt Burnett is not much inferior to Tete, if at all. Good fight if it happens.

    Len I've got to say never become a coach, because if you think Tete is overrated your going to think your fighters are totally shite lol

    Who has he beaten Billy? Apart from freakish height and reach over his opponents I don't think he is all that brilliant. Very good of course, but overrated on here.

    slightly ot but pertaining to the same ifl vid.
    Wazza says theyve put in a real big offer to selby to fight warrington but they havnt heard anything back. The way wazza been throwing money about alately it must of been a massive offer because frank made sure he told us twice.
    Selby ducking warrington imo

    The tete fight would be a unification too...plus he's more well known in the UK than ZZ.

    i don't class the interim WBO belt as a proper world title so its wouldn't be a unification.
