    To be fair some of the names on that list would make for really appealing fights, it's the names that wouldn't though that have me a bit apprehensive.

    Molina or Diaz fights would be great but if Burns' previous outings have showed us anything good ol' Tyson will be the next bout.

    to answer my post last night...i really think henry lundy would be a good test , he got off the deck to knock out david diaz with one punch earlier in the year on espn.

    hes on the up but i would expect burns to beat him well

    as i said id love diaz to get 1 final shot , hes a warrior and comes to fight every time , decent name too and i dont think would cost too much
