    I think it will be Mitchell, its a marketable fight that would sell well and fisheyes isn't gonna lose out no matter what the result. The british public would get behind it knowing both boxers to an extent.

    Other than that I thin k Guerrero is LWW now so don't see that happening, I don't think they could get Marquez yet unless someone is really ready to splash the cash. DeMarco could be made and would be a good fight that Ricky can definitely win and Rios/Murray winner could be in the future.

    I'd heavily fancy Rios but I fancied Martinez and Katsidis so you can't rule the lad out. I think it'll be Mitchell though and then Rios/Murray after that for a world title.

    I think that's a given with it being effectively an eliminator for his title. Whether Marquez comes back down to 135 is a different matter.

    gets a shot at that title but not necessarily JMM, he could vacate, move weight, retire etc etc. i think Rios will end up getting elevated and then they could push for this fight late next year

    I would imagine it will be either Mitchell or Murray but I wouldn't be surprised to see ****** bring over Barrera again. The fight sells on the name alone and it's a fight Burns should be able to (at this stage) look good in. There has been talk recently of Barrera taking a fight in Russia so I think this could be a possibility. Not a fight I would really want to see but ****** does have ties to him having promoted him over here on a few occasions.

    mitchell is a step down in my opinion. he needs a big name now,why fight the bloke who got outboxed outfought and knocked out by the bloke he just outclassed for 12 rounds.

    mitchell don't deserve to fight him

    Yep, thats my take on it. Theres every chance JMM will vacate that title.

    (Given the donkeys Burns fought in defence of his 130lbs 'title' this isn't as implausible as it seems)

    Hopefully it's Demarco but Ricky would have to go to America. Doubt Frank would be interested.

    Mitchell seems the most obvious fight to make, both guys are coming off very good wins and are both promoted by Frank, so there should be no difficulty getting it made. After that I'd like to see a Demarco fight.
