Next for Ricky Burns

[davie]

Former foes Crawford, Beltran and Figueroa. Can't see Crawford being interested of course but the belt could tempt Figueroa and the Beltran has a good back story.
Provodnikov and Matthysee would both be great scraps to watch.
And there's previous with Broner, I'd love to see Ricky out work him to prove many (including myself) who questioned if he could beat him last time.
It's the one time I remember him being accused of ducking
Postol, Troyanovsky, Benavidez, more hard fights but likely ones they'd avoid
And of course Catterall would be one that would sell.

A few there that won't happen but a few right good options and paydays in there.

Of course this is fantasy match making and we're more likely to see Mauricio Herrera

Personally id like to see Burns have a couple of easy home defences that will top up his career earnings before he goes in the deep end again.

Hes milked that before. Hes hopeless that was a European title fight last night shouldn't have been for the world title at all.

[RJP]

I'd rather see him drop down and face Crolla. Doubt Hearn will risk losing one of his golden geese just yet though.

[SNG]

Ricky Burns is on the final tour in his career, milk that title with soft defenses In big Scottish venues.

[Webbo911]

Crolla.

Not fussed which weightclass it's at.

Provodnikov might be slightly damaged goods at this stage, but that would be a fun fight.

Broner can't make 140 anymore, looking forward to him getting a pasting at welter.

[bigped]

Was speaking to a few last night they wanted limmond to win so he could fight Ricky , now they are talking about nurse / Frankie Gavin type opponents

[Stuarty]

Figueroa in a rematch over here would be a good fight. I enjoyed the first fight and he's a good name if Hearn has the buckles to bring him over. I think Burns beats him over here.

He isn't good enough to trouble Crawford (that's been proven already) but there's a few names in the division I'd give him half a chance against.

I remember the first fight with Figueroa. I was fuming by the end of it. Terrible scoring. Maybe I`m biased but I had the fight a draw. Burns gave his all in that fight against the bigger guy and showed what a chin he has, yet he was given virtually no credit at all from the commentators nor the judges.

I had Burns just infront but I am probably biased as well. To be fair did Watt not have Burns winning at the end? The judges and the ref were piss poor but it happens here also so swings and roundabouts. Ricky got away with one against Beltran.

[Emmseegee]

Yes, Burns has milked the soft defences route before but then he was milked financially himself afterwards so id happily see him do it again. I dont however see Ricky taking this route, he will likely have his eye on big fights at this stage of his career.

Also as a scotsman, Burns is the only guy we have who can have big shows built around him therefore id happily see him take an easy route to allow many more big Scottish shows and opportunities for young fighters. On that note, Hearns order of events last night shows his intentions for Scottish boxing as a whole. If he had any intentions of having shows on here in the future then surely he would be putting Flynn on infront of a full house instead of after Burns as the masses are singing themselves out the door.

Why was Charlie Flynn after and John Ryder is on at a decent time. Connor Benn I can get to grips with but Ryder is brutal to watch. I was pushing out a toilet just to stop watching him. Best fight of the fight was Brad Botham against Lewis Paulin . Lewis dropped in 1 and was lucky to scrape through that as Botham troubled him. Also the Marc Kerr against Jenkonson.

Hardly a bad opponent.

The Lewis Paulin and Charlie Flynn fights should have been on at a better time , Stewart burt was fighting another undefeated prospect and never even got to box

[Tuan_Jim]

I doubt even William Wallace would be patriotic enough to sit through another spate of Ricky Burns' hometown title defences.

[Supremo]

We know how good Ricky is and what his limitations are so im not that excited about seeing him test himself against the best around. It's likely to be easy defences and milk the money from the Scottish public.

This.

He's been shafted out of his money by that nasty man, so he needs it.

[Horse]

Unfortunately the British light welterweight scene is pretty dire, so there aren't many domestic options for him.

[Cyril Henry Hoskin]

Mike Ashley?

[Hinchy70]

What about Cuenca? They'd be able to sell him on his record, 48-2-0 if I recall?

I'm a Mackem mate, so Ashley is doing a fine job.

By that nasty man, I assume you mean whichever idiot mentioning no names encouraged him to break his contract with a promoter ?

[Horse]

He can fight the winners of Nurse vs Catterall, Hibbert vs Ryan & Daws vs Hamilton.

[Cyril Henry Hoskin]

Is Hamilton still fighting?

Easy tiger, I was being light hearted.
