Who will be Rickys next opponent?

I know but theres room for blind welsh faith haha, I still wouldnt mind seeing the fight though, would be a good purse for Rees at the end of the day.

Ive just got a soft spot for welsh fighters

 

all joking aside Jordan, I relly like rees as a fighter & wouldnt write him off, Burns has the reach, reflexes & jab to nullify the welsh fire******* but Rees is an explosive little man with no shortage of skill, smarts & power & although I would pick burns to prevail? It wouldnt be an easy nights work for the Rickster.

 

I'd be bored by a Rees matchup. He's dealt with Martinez and Katsidis, whats the point in seeing him against a smaller, less powerful, lower level pressure fighter? Seems totally pointless and lacking in drama.

If he's going British it has to be Mitchell.

 

Mitchell i'd say

 

Has to be Mitchell, it's the only fight that makes sense right now and Fish eyes knows it, Burns boxed superbly against Kats the other night and i'd have him beating Mitchell also!!

Be great to get it in the Kelvin hall, place was buzzing when Ricky beat Martinez be even better when he handles Mitchell

 

Actually I wouldn't mind him slapping the **** out of Average Alex Arthur for 12 rounds.

Anything to shut up that deluded, arrogant ****.

Burns boxed superbly on Saturday night, on that evidence alone he'd be a solid favourite over Mitchell.

 

Mitchell still has the ban I think.

Reckon it will be Alex Arthur or Willie Limmond if he beats Crolla.

 

Sam Rukundo

 

His curfew is finished by early January. It's just more likely Frank will put him in an easy defence (or three) before Mitchell.

 

Alex Arthur or Willie Limond? atsch

Really hope Ricky doesn't have another year of terrible defences :-( He proved Saturday that he's definitely world level and there are plenty of good fighters between super feather and light welter to get Ricky another good win.

 

Totally agree, he's deffo a world level operator and there are plenty good fights for him to earn out of at that level. I feel like I owe it to Ricky to pick him to win in his next fight, but Alas if its Mitchell I will be picking the londoner.

 

he'll fight bums obv!

 

Let him follow on with katsidis' plan to resurrect Ricky hatton!

 

For me I'd be happy with any of these boxers:

Juan Manuel Marquez - don't think it will happen
Robert Guerrero - although I believe he is LWW now

Kevin Mitchell
Brandon Rios
John Murray
Anthony DeMarco
Miguel Vasquez
Henry Lundy
John Molina
Richard Abril
Sharif Bogere
Vincente Escobego
Gavin Rees
Paulus Moses

or how about these three who have just come of defeats

Miguel Acosta
Urbano Antillon
Jorges Linares

There is enough talent there for a decent scrap, anything below these would be disappointing imo.

If he wants an easier fight before looking at a big name like Rios etc then there are several names on that list that I feel Burns would be a heavy favorite.

Forget the Arthurs and the Limonds etc, he should be cracking on and trying to assert himself as the divisions best and looking for big fights he can get out in the states etc. He will only get there if he fights competitors, taking easy paydays will only hold him back imo.

 

any off..

Urbano Antillon
Michael Katsidis
Antonio DeMarco (WBC)
Jorge Linares
Paulus Moses
Richard Abrill
Vincente Escobedo
Miguel Acosta
Kevin Mitchell
Ameth Diaz

all fights Ricky can win.
