    Why does his team not want the fight with Quigg so much?


    it reminds me on a much much smalller scale of Mayweather not wanting the fight with Pacquiao in his peak.

    Listen Ryan can you honestly say hes not been guided brilliantly by Barry to winning his title?
    the Belfast council built a stadium for him for that fight can you name another council that has done likewise?

    no point in wasting your time Billy

    Frampton is the A side ,as the yanks would say when it comes to the Quigg fight, once Hearns and Quigg realise this the fight will be very easy to make

    Yes indeed, a small bit of pride-swallowing by Hearn/Quigg....and off we go!

    Well I will be honest with you I've seen both in the gym and it's very hard to desperate them, I can't believe folk knock wee Quigg he simply doesn't get credit, by the way he is a world champ, yet wee Carl gets praise ( not his fault)yet in he beat a guy for the world title he's previously Ko'd
    Both boys should be praised and respected

    Agree Billy, to many people wrongly think Frampton is levels above, I think it's the best matched high profile fight in the UK, a real 50/50, but if I needed to pluck for one, I would go for Quigg because he is as good as Frampton and would have point to prove as an undeserved underdog. If they fought 10 x I think both would win at least 4 of them each, and I wouldnt rule out a draw if they ever meet

    Quigg-Frampton really not as interesting now as it was, say 12 months ago, I don't think it is that competitive as people make out. Frampton finishes the fight as soon as he hits Quigg flush, Quigg can't hold a shot.

    And sorry, but Quigg is not a world champion, what joke that belt is - Rigo is the world champion and Quigg is an interim, he got a gift draw against Salinas to become a 'world champ' and then he defended against a journeyman.

    Frampton won a legitimate world title, no question about that.

    Is he a myth?

    Nope he definitely exists. Case solved. Now there is a rumour going around that Scott Quigg is a world champion. Anyone care to scotch that?

    I agree Quigg doesn't get the respect due in some quarters, but world champ :nono Rigondeaux holds the real WBA title.

    As for the thread topic, Frampton is a better all-round fighter. You surely cannot have seen his fights with Martinez if you believe him to be all style/no subtance. The super bantamweight world ratings are as follows:

    1: El Chacal
    2: The Jackal

    In reality mate Martinez was a one dimensional bladder who yes can bang but Carl always had to much for him not once but twice, I'm sure Scott Quigg would do likewise
