    Regardless of who we think will win on Saturday, lets assume both fighters turn up with their 'A game'......................

    Which result is best for the game?

    Which fighter is the better champion for the British game and why?

    I think Mitchell would try and do something more with his career instead of fighting the latest TTG like Burns will

    Burns will have to step up eventually.

    and when he does he's got more of a chance than Mitchell against the top guys.

    Imo

    Why? Burns had the far harder draw on his weigh to being a world champion.

    As a 21 year old he fearlessly took on Graham Earl at 2 days notice for **** money, Alex Arthur and Carl Johansson. Meanwhile Mitchell was fighting road goat farmers from Ghana.

    I dont think there is one, if your asking who the more dedicated,clean cut, PC correct guy from Britain to be standing there with a World Title is ? then we all know thats Ricky Burns, these two are just outside of the "world class" bracket for me and have contrasting attributes, Mitchell more naturally talented and a more varied skill set, Burns dedicated to his craft and not wilting in desire to become a champion

    If your asking who has the more potential to light the world up after this fight im answering Ricky Burns

    Mitchell has a better style and is more exciting, Id rather watch him than Burns any day of the week. It's better for everybody if Mitchell wins, think of the pain you will have to endure having to watch Burns. :D

    I much prefer watching Mitchell, but Burns is more active, a more dedicated professional and a good role model. In answer to your question, Mitchell.

    In the grand scheme of things Burns has done little more. His titles are absolutely meaningless.
