    Classic Frank..

    The Scot has lost just twice in 37 fights, with his last reverse coming over five and a half years back when he was just 23 and still learning his craft. For me, he has already proven himself superior to Carl Froch, who has twice been found wanting at world level.

    Both Mikkel Kessler and Andre Ward have unanimously outpointed ‘The Cobra’.

    Ricky will return in December to consolidate his position against a good opponent. However, it won’t be compatriot Scott Harrison, the returning ex-WBO featherweight king, who needs a couple more fights to fully sharpen his tools. That blockbuster, plus unification against rival world champions like Miguel Vasquez (IBF) or Antonio DeMarco, could happen next year. I’d have no worries matching Burns against any lightweight in the world, right now, but the real biggie is Adrien Broner. That is a mouth-watering fight.

    Scotland has a rich fistic history but Burns is compiling a body of work to match fellow lightweights Ken Buchanan and Jim Watt. Further world title victories will establish him as the best Caledonian fighter since the war.

    Carl lost to two proven world champions, one of them a pound-for-pound candidate. Ricky lost to Carl Johanneson and Alex Arthur.

    Burn's has become a very good fighter actually. He's done well after a couple of early defeats. Martinez his former opponent is WBO champ at 130lbs again.
    Nevertheless, Froch has great fights and some excellent wins against Pascal, Reid, Magee, Taylor, Dirrell, Johnson, Abraham and Bute. Wins against Moses, Martinez and Katsidis don't trump this by any stretch do they.

    Casuals will believe it sadly!

    Really, it's also a little dig at Hearn in trying to say "I have done a better job than you!"

    Real fans know though!
