    Very true mate :good
    Iv'e always thought Garcia was overrated. I remember Ashley Theophane running him close 3 years ago. The 140 division's full of overrated hype jobs. Burns would have a chance against the lot except Marquez.

    Yes I'm being a twat by not accepting that you're accusing me of things I didn't say. Carry on the good fight soldier

    At the risk of going in circles I'll simply repeat that not accepting terms that massively favour the opponent when you are also a champion is not a swerve, it's not taking a fight at unbalanced terms. Or is using logic me being a twat again?

    I don't doubt Ricky would want the fight. But Frank at the time, now Hearn and most of all Morrison & Nelson want no part of that fight.

    At this time with those terms no. Once Burns has actually fought a couple of times then I'm positive they do, no point in going into a massive unification bout unprepared. Makes perfect sense, so you don't doubt Ricky wants the fight by accuse me of bias by saying HE never ducked Broner? Make your mind up

    Honestly I don't see the clamor for those fights. They will be terrible. So many good winnable fights for Burns at Lightweight.

    Your forgetting the first duck when he moved up in weight.

    Sorry if i came across as a dick yesterday. I didn't like the way you doubted my judgement of Burns as a fighter. I think my assessment of him is pretty fair and I one of the few people that thinks he could beat Broner.

    Ricky was quoted not long before or after the Mitchell fight that a possible move to 140 by the end of this year was possible.

    Burns should stay at LW, which he will do.

    Ricky has also stated many times that he makes Lightweight comfortably.

    I don't envision him moving up within the next two years and with possible opponents in Vasquez, Abril, Gamboa, Beltran, Demarco and Shafikov, why would he?

    There is some great fights at lightweight to be made.

    For the record Ricky will be a LW for a good while yet but will win a title at LWW for sure
