Thread: Who would you like to see Burns fight next?

Abril, Gamboa or Vazquez ?

Looks like Abril is a front runner

I have left Broner out because he is already tied up.

I reckon they should aim for Gamboa. The guy has a big name, his highly skilled, but as far as I've decided IMO, he gets put out when he faces someone of top quality, so thats a very winnable fight for Burns against a "showcase" name...

Burns gets outboxed by Abril IMO.

I think he should go for the Vazquez unification. People are accusing him of ducking out of the fight. It was blatent he walked away from Broner, so I think he needs to go back to the table and get the deal done. I also don't think Vazquez is all that special, he's willing to travel and I think the crowd may affect him.

1. Anthony Peterson
2. Jorge Linares
He going to lose that title soon!!!

Broner clearly ducked Burns running up 3 weight divisions the only way he will be forced to come back is if Burns unifies the titles and brings that coward back down to meet him.

Lol Burns had two kicks at the cat and backed out my friend not the other way around. Ricky should fight Abril and then Broner if he returns to 135 in an attempt to copy Armstrong or meet him at 140. Ricky is a big lightweight who also fought much bigger early in his career. I'm not saying Ricky ducked Broner but his handlers sure did.

I was being sarcastic, I think it will turn out a good move for Burns.

I reckon burns whoops Gamboa based on his shockingly disgusting performance this weekend past.

Gamboa!

Burns would bring the best out in Gamboa and not allow him to box boring like he has in his last two fights.
At the same time Gamboa might bring out the best in Burns so who knows which way that will go

Gamboa would make Burns look pretty silly dude.. and i mean real silly.

BUrns and Gamboa dont belong in the same ring. Too big of a gap in the skills department..

I want to see Jorge Linares take him on.. It would be a total clinique imo. Linares just has to keep his chin tucked in and put on that boxing lesson.

Gamboa is a HBO hype job. I think Burns would beat him.

Abril wouldn't be easy, but I think Burns would win.

Vasquez would be a difficult and frustrating fight for Burns, one he might lose.

Whoever he takes on out of those dudes he better not be giving away the first five...

I think Abril would easily outbox Burns. Gamboa probably beats him too as I think Gamboa can fight better then he has but I dont think Burns can improve more. Vasquez is beatable but hard to know. They need to protect Burns from all of the top fighters until he can get a big payday.

How about Kev again, maybe this time he may not get his ass served to him on a plate.

To be fair Gonzales made Ricky look very ordinary last time out. I was very surprised at how easy that was for Gonzales.
