    David Haye said it too and Al Bernstein wasn't against the idea

    David Haye said he's the best Heavyweight in the World.

    Al Bernstein is on the payroll.

    What did you think they'd say ?

    Do a poll and see who else agree's.

    I agree Rigo is still top of the charts but in his last fight he certainly didn't look unbeatable and he's not leagues above the rest of the pack

    Correct on both counts, who is paying them for their appearance and who is trying to hype a fighter up for maximum viewers in the next fight of his they broadcast? Frampton is a good fighter, not a great one. He'll soon become a myth with all this hype.



    Fools watching who DKSAB will rave on about this 'world class' performance failing to see he was a 1/12 favourite against a cherry picked mediocre opponent in a voluntary defense of an IBF title.

    first of all Avalos was considered top 5 in the division and outside of LSC quigg frampton and rigo is considered more than likely the top fighter in the division not some mediocre opponent, frampton was such a heavy favorite because of how good he is

    and it wasn't a voluntary mate it was a mandatory he had to fight him so how was it hand picked

    Top 5 with the IBF, the better fighters in this division are fighting in the other organizations' ranks. Hammer was number 3 ranked tonight against a number 1 and that number one would get schooled by the top ranked guys in his division, get the jist? Frampton will not be near those odds on, he won't even be favourite in any unification fight, that's what I'm saying.



    And it was hand picked as he went for this mandatory with a guy who he knew he'd be facing over a unification fight so its as good as a voluntary

    no top 5 by the ring and Transnational boxing rankings(most respected rankings)

    and why did you say it was a voluntary when it was a mandatory he had to fight?

    you can't cherry pick mandatories

    The excuse may well end up being about quigg refusing to admit that Frampton has the better belt

    A mandatory cannot be cherry picked ffs. He will fight Quigg next. And will rightly start as favourite. He would also start as favourite against LSC.

    I never said at any point a mandatory can be cherry picked, I was lead to believe it was a voluntary defense against a cherry picked opponent, until being corrected that it was a mandatory. Fact remains that the guy isn't the best bantamweight in the world like folk are going on like. Ronda Rousey is a better bantamweight than him let alone the WBO,WBA champs. Frampton is a paper champion. Nobody cares about this shallow and sorry division anyway.
