    He'd be in the argument for post-war greatest, but he'd still need to go on a hell of a run afterwards to get close to McClarnin.

    That's spot on actually Len. kind of do have to enter it. From a competitive point of view tho looking like an uphill struggle even staying competitive with this guy. Boy looks deadly. Hopefully few of them give him more to think about than the last couple of opponents. They will. Even then tho that's all it will be imo giving him more to think about as opposed to competing with him.

    Here he is against Nieves if you want to see more of his work rather than a quick KO. I’ve said it before, he’s like a 5”5 version of GGG.

    I think he’ll get past Donaire rather easily, dropping down 2 divisions at this stage of Donaire’s career will take a lot out of him imo, he won’t have the energy or the sting in his punches too really trouble Burnett.

    I might be a bit biased as I think I rate Burnett a lot higher than a lot of people on here but I think he’ll defo make it too the final, Inoue will be a step too far tho

    He's got a chance for sure. He's a solid fighter.

    Dont forget Inoue has gone the distance and gone over 8 rounds a few times. He won't blow everyone away.

    I see Inoue as the favourite, Burnett 2nd and Aloyan as the dark horse.

    Plenty of good sensible posts here... Good to see! You r man Rodriguez ? ? Guy who beat Paul Butler is a dark horse here let's not forget him. ...if I have the right man... Very good boxer.

    Burnett's a great fighter but just loves a tear-up too much. That will be a disaster vs the P4P hardest puncher in the sport.

    Yeah everyone seems to be focusing on power, ... but nobody knocks out every opponent.
    !But remember Rodriguez outboxed Paul Butler and looked very tasty doing it. He can't be ruled out.

    Think he can find a way to get past Tete, in the final he gets monsterballed

    I'd favour Inoue to win it if not Tete.

    Rumours that Donaire is struggling to make the weight...and Butler is going to replace him.

    Interesting.
    Ryan vs Paul, you know what, I'd like to see that fight. I've always liked Paul butler and I think a fight against Burnett, well Paul would be in with more than a chance.
