Ricky Burns targets Mexico's greatest, Juan Manuel Marquez

[FinitoElDinamita]

Kevin mitchell matches up better with marquez, stylewise. Pressure seems to bother him but marquez wouldnt fight him close. It would a technical boxing match between two highly skilled boxer punchers. This fight would be off the hook.

Burns, he is just ok but I dont think he is an elite fighter. Marquez would toy with him.

i dont agree, i think mitchell has the beating of burns but i think burns would fair better against marquez than mitchell

We agree that Mitchell beats Burns. Cool.

But I think you are giving Burns too much credit for his boxing ability. BUrns is a fighter by nature, and boxer second.. Against a bull like Katsidis, Burns had to fight accordingly and play the role of a boxer and he deserves credit for that.. ( Even though Katsidis isnt the fighter he used to be and many fighters can look good, technically, against a one dimensional fighter like him )

Now because of this victory, people think Burns is some great boxer but he's really not that special in that department.

Against Marquez, I can pretty much guarantee you that Burns will be the aggressor because if he tries to box with the master boxer, he's going to get taken apart.. That much is for sure..

But then again, if he fights Marquez aggresively, that also leaves him vulnerable because come-forward fighters are tailor made for Marquez..

With that said, there is no way for Burns to win.... He can't outbox marquez nor can he outfight him.. He's doomed if he ever steps inside the ring with the Great One..

Kevin Mitchell has exceptional boxing ability and the punch to go along with it... He has a better chance imo..
