    I am so shocked I don't know what to say!

    Would anyone who said Burns would unify/fight a legitimate contender next like to make a bet? I say he won't fight anyone ranked by Ring magazine.

    My early bet it will be Will Tomlinson. Just got a feeling he be easiest to get over here (promoters etc).

    burns needs to fight a british opponent to help him get the press coverage he deserves...

    They could sell the fight with Terdsak based purely on the strength of his name.

    I bet they fight someone from mozambique or summat. Probably a midget too.

    i think Sergey Gulyakevich could be easy to get over in britian he fought on a couple of Hattons undercards according to boxrec he pushed Humberto Mauro Gutierrez for the WBC title has a win over Vitali Tajbert(was wbc champ) the only fight i have seen him in though was against Alex Arthur and he looked like a bit of a headbanger

    Fana hardly puts any fear into anyone so I don't see why they don't take that fight. I can't find video of him apart from the Barrera fight in which he was absolutely annihilated. He just didn't belong in the same ring as Barrera. Then again, Burns is no Barrera.

    I think it is a poor division and Burns should be fighting the Ring Magazine top 10 guys. If not Fana, go for someone else in that top 10.
