Kevin Mitchell will win a title as long as ricky bums grows a pair to fight him.


Ricky.burns is just a solid B level guy.
Burns has never made any claims to greatness and has fought everyone put in front of him.
I do not believe his bravery can be questioned. Mitchell is a great fighter but his failure to capitalise on his win over Murray is not Burns fault, he needs to keep to his probation conditions.
Burns has only just moved into Mitchell's Weight class so he has actually shown more balls by moving up in weight.
Burns proved his credentials against Martinez and consolidated his not inconsiderable cojones by choosing to fight Katsidis and then beating him.
Burns may not be A great, but he is a great fighter.
He displayed pure cowardice when he coward out of the Adrian Broner fight
How was Burns a coward when he was strugglying to make weight and then he moved up to fight Katsidis who is a known powerpuncher and established at the weight. Not a lot of people gave Burns a chance, myself included because the fight was a risk which has paid off for Burns.
Burns was suppose to face Broner before he pulled out of there fight. But requested and was granted the opportunity to make an optional defense. Because everybody knows he just needed to fight Nicky Cook. After the Cook charade he's forced to face his mandatory. Which is Broner. Everything is set. The date and venue are set. HBO is ready. Broner is ready. Than just weeks from the fight Burns pulls out to take a fight with Katsidis. A fighter who not only had lost 2 of his last 3. But was dominated in those 2 losses. How is that not a coward move?
