    Just seen the press conference there & has to be said he's always a cool, calm kid. I know it's stating the obvious to say he will go far, but let's not forget he's only had 19 fights - which (besides Rigo whose a law unto himself) is pretty much half the amount of those around him, so realistically he's a lot more to learn & develop .

    Think after the inevitable Quigg showdown he will wait around another year or so and catch an over the hill Rigo and then maybe another domestic dust off with Galahad.

    Avalos is a live opponent this weekend. Carl is favourite and rightly so, but it's certainly not a gimme. If they dismiss this lad, may be regretting it

    *awaits Solaris to say that he is ducking Quigg*

    Avalos is a better name than anyone in Quigg's resume, fact.

    And when 'Robot Scott' actually grows a pair and fights a top fighter in his division, and stops holding that belt hostage, he will get taken to school.

    You spelled Rigondeaux wrong.

    Would be silly to go for Rigondeaux at this stage. Both LSC and Quigg would make much more sense financially and are both less risky. Quigg will happen later in the year.

    Live opponent? :lol::lol::lol:

    Frampton willingly took this fight anyway. He used it to avoid facing a champion.

    Figured fighting the best was the point of the sport. Seems kind of a no lose situation for Frampton honestly. Rigo would certainly come to Britain to fight him, would agree to the smaller end of the purse and if Frampton loses (which he likely would at this stage) his stock only lightly drops as he lost to the best in the division. Even after a loss the Quigg and Galahad big money fights are there because you folks do love your "domestic dustups". If he wins he is far and away the best in the division and can claim a bigger piece of the pie in the aforementioned fights.

    And to be clear I was poking fun at lsc not Frampton who I think has fought pretty good competition so far

    Together with Froch, he's one of the few "real" ones in British boxing for me.
    He's going to win TKO9

    Solaris, I'm curious. Are you actually this special (as in special school) and believe what you type or are you just really bored, have no life, and are a full time troll. The mental health of some of the posters, if not trolling, is pretty disturbing.
