Yeah, Ecklund was 147, while Burton was only 140. Still a Great Mythetical based bout. Great styles Clash imo.
I could see Burton weighing in at 142 for this bout. It wouldn't need to be a catch-weight bout imo.
Pacquiou only weighed 142 vs DeLaHoya in they're 2008 WW bout.
Ideally, this would be a 10 rounder. Maybe a 12'er if it's for some newly created title-belt.
Anyway, I see this one being just Simply a Great Splendid Scrap.
Very likely would wind up looking like it should be ruled A Draw.
Would've been Highly Entertaining for the fans. Probably would take place in my state of NY also, right at MSG arena.
