    Burns could fight Fana which would be for Lineal title.

    We could legitimatley have 4 lineal champs at the end of the year.

    I hope Froch and Haye keep their titles. Don't really care if Khan loses, like Bradley anyway.

    Do you equate being Ring Champion to being Lineal Champion Rob?

    Wlad is not the lineal HW champion.

    I doubt the winner of Froch v Ward (if both come through) will be declared the lineal champ unless Bute loses before then.

    Burns v Fana for the lineal title would be laughable. Too many consider Uchiyama as the best of the bunch.

    Not sure about Khan v Bradley though. I don't think it should be as Pac is still around and he is the lineal 140 champ.

    We should probably just scrap talking about the lineal champ now actually, the sanctioning bodies have made it near-on impossible to work out now!

    Burns might not have the chance of fighting Fana to 'unify'. Fana is scheduled to fight Mendez in April and that is definitely not a foregone conclusion.

    Pacquiao hasn't had a fight at 140lbs for 2 years by the time Mosley fight happens.

    I agree about Uchyama. Still 4 unified champions is quite an achievment for such a small country.

    Froch definitly needs a KO over there or a VERY dominant performance.

    I reckon that why sky will be pushing for June 25th date.

    I reckon Bradley fight gets put back to September anyway.

    That won't happen, mate.

    Ramadhan (Fasting period for Muslims) will start on August 1st and end at August 30th, so Amir won't be training during that time.

    2 months for a full camp, which would set it back to the beggining of November, which would leave Amir with only 2 fights this year, so Amir will 100% be taking that July 23rd date.
