    Thoughts on how this one will go?

    Omar Figueroa is SERIOUSLY flawed, and will take a thrashing the moment he faces a top fighter.

    But lucky for him, ole Burns is not a top fighter and is now past his prime.

    Any chance of a Burns upset?

    Yeah, he's def exciting....... just not very good.

    Now that Crawford has moved up, who's good at 135 anyway?

    I shutter to think what Crawford would have done to Figueroa.

    Burns has had it tough since losing his belt to Crawford and is now bankrupt.

    Burns is rubbish, Froch is a creep, Calzaghe a bum, Klitschkos are bums, Frampton a bum, ....the rantings and meanderings of Neil.

    Let's be real though, Burns IS rubbish.

    I don't have anything against him, but at elite level he is pretty crap.

    Burns is about the same level as Matthew Macklin. He has gotten much better as his career has progressed, he is one of those learn-by-doing guys. He is also a determined guy who leaves everyhing he has in the ring and doesn't have many serious flaws, but he is just not very good and at the world level the limitations have become obvious. Still, he has had a fine career

    Frampton brings out the second string of Neils 3-Card Monty trick.....for every semi-decent cracker out there, Neil has Spade to trump him.

    Burns is a mediocre fighter at world level.

    Frampton is talented, but it remains to be seen how good he is.

    Froch is obviously a good fighter who's gone A LONG way considering his talent level isn't the best.

    Calz is overrated to no end by some, but he was a very good fighter.

    There ya go.....

    Not to worry. Neil has dug up another pesudo-threat in the form of some French bantamweight.
