    Although I agree Frampton would beat Hughes easialy, it would be the best possible defence of his celtic title and would be a british title eliminator.

    Kris Hughes would be anice step up for frampton. A good fight and the opponents good enough to give Carl a test.

    Hughes would be a bit better than Frmptons revious opponents imo. Carl Is a few levels above the likes of Hughes, but it will give Frampton the chance to face an opponent with decent boxing skill and someone who has a big height advantage over him. Carls not exactly a big super-bantamweight and he has short arms, it would do him good to fight an opponent like this. And maybe Hughes boxing skills could test him a bit.

    that's actually true, it beats fighting more eastern european punching bags brought over to lose in 2 rounds and pick up a check

    still though, carl has the potential and ability to move up fast. I thinl he should

    Regardless of the power he is too upright and I think Frampton would walk through him. He's very very open in that clip though it was a lovelly shot!!!
