    I said that earlier mate.Good shout.
    And I think Abril is someone who is gettable for FW promotions.

    VVarren said he wanted Burns out in December to stay active. I think it'd be a great shout to have that fight as a stay-busy fight.

    It would get attention in Scotland, Burns would beat him fairly simply and it would be a nice little earner for him.

    Then after that, I expect Burns to fight Murray and then for VVarren to try and lure one of DeMarco, Vazquez to Glasgow.

    He did, and that seems like a viable road map for Burns for the next year. I know the fight would sell, but it would be a one sided beating. I'd rather see Burns chase the bigger fights now rather than marking time.

    I just don't think Harrison deserves the payday,and he's done nothing to warrant a shot at the title yet.
    I'd love one of those to come over but I can't see it.Abril is more achievable IMO

    ****** isnt luring any of that class , look for a Calzaghe like reign.

    Tocker Pudwell is next.

    We have just had David Starie.

    He knocked out the undefeated EUROPEAN champion in his fight before Burns, how on Earth is he barely European class?

    Do you read the Ring?

    Well go and see that Burns has beaten Michael Katsidis, Paulus Moses and now 4th ranked Kevin Mitchell.

    There is nothing reminiscent of Calzaghe. For a relatively new champion, Burns has a good resume.

    Yeah Great fighter Murray , got absolutely hammered by Rios who was a ghost that night .

    Also who did Murray beat to win that title - Gary Buckland - British level , all of his two defences were at home.

    The ring is now a joke of a magazine , they have David Haye as the second greatest British heavy of all time and have a ring card girl double centre fold.

    I dont take anything they say serious anymore. It used to be the boxing bible , now its just nuts magazine without the jokes.

    Your agenda is all too clear sunshine. You're trying way to hard to discredit Burns and the people he's beaten. Quite sad really. :patsch

    Big Ricky fan. Humble guy, entertaining style, great ring intros and he won me some $$$. Him vs Khan would be a cracking action fight. Burn's would have a hard time dealing with what Khan brings but I could see him catching him with some nicely timed hooks in exchanges like with Mitchell.

    I hope it's one of the other champs next, if not very soon.

    I also hope it isn't Harrison.

    :good

    This guy seems to have a chip on his shoulder and as you say is making a **** of himself. :oops:
