    Broner?

    I hope to god it's not Burns.

    It's possibly someone coming down in weight too perhaps? Can't think of any right now.

    Linares and Burns are the only active 3 weight world champions near Welterweight other than Crawford who we know it won’t be

    It’s going to be burns isn’t it?

    But I’ve no idea why he would take the fight as it’s a no win situation, if he loses that’s his career over and if he wins what does he gain from beating a novice in the pro ranks? No matter how highly regarded kelly is.

    Only other name I can see from list of theee weight world champions who could possibly be is Shane Mosley but that’s slightly wild guess

    A nice big retirement pay cheque would be something for him to gain.

    I quite like this fight actually. Burns is past his best obviously, but he's fit and experienced enough to make it a hard fight for Kelly.

    EDIT: I'm forgetting this would be at welterweight. Makes it a bit tougher for Burns. Still wouldn't write him off though. Experience counts for a lot, and Burns has bags of it.

    If buns was gonna cash out now it would surely be against Taylor??? Not a novice like Kelly and how much is he realistically gonna make from that fight on an undercard?
