Me and you are gonna have words somewhere in the UK... I just need to save up the petrol money Ricky's got momentum and confidence now in abundance so why drop a level in opponent (like Sykes :yep) when complacency might set in? The Super-Featherweight division is not overflowing with elite fighters. Ricky should make an attempt to unify. Why not.
With a performance like that man I think he makes a few defences .Jorge Solis is probably the next biggest name in the division .Boxrec have him 1 and i'm sure Martinez wanted him after Burns to unify .He was on a double header with Barrera last night man and win .He's got 2 losses 1 to Pacquiao and 1 to Cristobal Cruz [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__dN_EhymYM[/ame]
Just having a laugh with the Sykes stuff, Gary is nowhere near ready for world level, he needs a few more fights at dometic level before he can even think about fighting for a world title. He'll do Burns though

If John Murray or Kevin Mitchell could trim down, it would make the most sense business wise and would be a great domestic fight too.
Mitchell was strugging to make SFW for ages I don't think he'd go back down and Murray is far too comfy at lightweight. The only domestic fights out there for Burns are Sykes, Foster and Appleby in due course.
