    Wow if Burns fights Alex Arthur he deserves to loose his interim title, that is a ****ing stupid idea, Burns needs to kick on now he is no pup he is 29 very soon. **** fighting Arthur who is ****ing shite.

    He's probably considered too good. It will probably be Arthur. Maybe Scott Harrison if we're lucky!

    Alisher Rahimov who Derry Matthews is fighting in January is currently WBO's No.1 behind Burns. :think

    Mitchell is such a good matchup right now that it'd be a crime not to make it happen.

    Billy Nelson's face when Alex Arthur's name was alluded to by ****** told its own story. Neither Nelson nor Ricky want nor need Alex Arthur. It would be a backward step. I'd like to see him have an easyish defence and then go for JMM or Rios. He deserves a marquee fight against a marquee name in the States at this stage.

    I heard a rumour Mitchell doesn't have a license anymore? :think

    Anyone else heard it or is it just bull****?

    One of the letters in this weeks boxing news mentioned it but I looked it up and couldn't find any solid information. He doesn't need one until next year anyway.

    Well I say rumour, it was more "Paulie said it on Twitter and it was never denied" but meh. Guess it doesn't make much difference if he doesn't need it til next year anyway!

    If it's Arthur its back to same old **** on here I guess. Burns picks up good win, then fights no-markers. Hope not, thought this would be the end of that kind of bollocks and he could kick on in some really good fights.

    Isn't Alex Arthur an 'easyish' defence? You can't ask for an easy defence and then be dissapointed when names like Alex Arthur show up.
