    Would be fun to watch.

    Brittards are hilarious when their boy gets beat.

    Much like Ward at 168, nobody outside hardcore fans give a **** about Rigo at Super Featherweight.

    Frampton is better off trying to secure a fight with Quigg which is more winnable and would be big in the UK.

    It's not a duck. Frampton doesn't even have a world title.

    I wouldn't call it a duck, he's just recently come up and maybe doesn't feel he's ready just yet, I don't mind if he has a few fights before taking on Rigondeaux, it's a wise decision in my eyes.

    Frampton KOs Kiko, Kiko destroys Romero for the IBF, Kiko doesn't want to fight Frampton again, Frampton goes for the WBC, WBC number 1 is Hugo Cazares, Frampton destroys Cazares to become the number one challenger for Leo, Rigondeaux feels left out, makes some sort of last minute offer, Frampton doesn't want to give up his hard earned number one contender spot for a belt, Frampton is now ducking Rigo apparently

    Quack,Quack ,Aflac is a good insurance for Frampton against the buggy man Rigo.

    He probably knows Rigo would beat him.

    He probably knows he wouldn't win a round against Rigo.

    Frampton has said more than once that Rigondeaux is the best in the division, he wants Santa Cruz for three reasons, more marketable fight, he wants that WBC belt for bargaining power not mentioning the fact that he believes LSC wants to vacate to move up (and the prestige of course), and finally he wants to have a scrap with a highly regarded unbeaten mexican champion for the simple reason that it will be a hell of a fight

    All roads lead to Rigo, but he has to wait, Frampton has worked too hard for this to just drop everything to dance to the Cubans tune

    My point is that the kid is still on his way up and improving, so he deserves a chance to work his way up to fight like that. Putting him in with Rigo now would likely end his career.

    Frampton said he will fight Rigo in a few fights so how is it a duck atleast he isn't saying he doesn't create enough money bla bla bla. Frampton isn't ducking Rigo he is mandatory for Santa cruz and he should throw that away for rigo who he would lose to and then what has he got ? He beats santa cruz he gets the belt and then more bargaining power with rigo.
