To be fair Mendez had nothing to bring to the table when Ricky was SFW champ, then Mendez got beat for the title which would have made the fight even harder to make or has that escaped you attention.
Ricky became LW champ and Mendez won the SFW title and I don't think he's defended it yet, I watched Mendez on DVD and can't see a problem for Ricky at all

You probably said that about Gonzalez to be fair.

As I said previously. If you think Ricky beats him easily you really are underestimating him and over estimating Ricky. Good luck to you both tho. I hope you can continue winning and we get to see a burns Mendez match up and one of us will be proven correct.

Mendez is a massive super feather, does he have hollow arse cheeks ?

With regards Beltran, I'm telling you he will come out fighting and is no bum.

Mmmm

Ricky Burns vs Terrence Crawford on HBO in January, if he does the bizz against Beltran in style.

who's Terrence Crawford?

Unbeaten american lightweight prospect. Recently beat Prescott and looked very good doing it. I think he's 21-0 with 16 knockouts! He's a talented fighter for sure.

Can't see that fight happening. They shat it from Broner who wouldve paid more for less of a risk so why would they risk it all for not very much in return.

Onto Beltran- as long as he doesn't have a "bad back" or quits while winning easily it'll be a good opponent!


Me thinks Burns isn't as big at the weight as his coach thinks. Sure beating Mitchell looked good but against a tall rangy guy who is importantly first to the jab against Burns will beat him because everything comes from Burns' jab.
