    I hope you are right about the others fighting it out gb! Right now they are ALL far too inactive for me. (Well all bar kiko, and he's not fighting who I want him to fight!)

    Windsor holds 13000, maybe 15000 max with seating on the pich/ringside etc.
    I'd prefer Ravenhill though once the new stand is finished as it'll have 18000 capacity in the next couple of months.

    Its not like were talking about Anselmo Moreno or Miguel Vazquez here, Rigo is a blue chip talent, who will undoubtedly go up through the weight classes. He can't possibly be ignored, he is debatably the best fighter in the world from Featherweight down, and thats not talking in P4P terms.

    Frampton would get hammered by Santa Cruz, Frampton needs much more experience in long hard fights against quality opposition before these names are looked at as realistic fights. He's not at that level yet.

    You don't know much about Rigo, do you, fella?
    Rigo has reached well into his thirties at super bantam. He is a career super bantam. He will not be "undoubtedly going up through the weight classes" at all.
    He is a tiny wasp-waisted little slip of a man. He hardly needs to make any effort to make 122, even now in his thirties!

    Love to hear you "explain" how LSC would "hammer" Frampton as you put it.
    How many guys of Framptons size youth and level has he "hammered"?

    Rigo will be forced to fight above 122 to make money, the bigger names and fights are above that, and I imagine he drinks 5 litre's of water, gets on the scales, then goes and does the business.

    He'd beat anybody in the world from 130 down comfortably IMO. Frampton hasn't been tested by an animal like Santa Cruz, he looked vulnerable against Kiko late on, and produced a surge of power just when he looked as though he could really do with it :yep Santa Cruz is too strong and experienced, he'd walk Frampton down and punch holes through him.

    Frampton's true ability as it stands is a notch up from domestic level, given the company he's in thats impressive, but he's not bonafide seasoned champion at the weight (thats world champion, seen as though we are on topic).

    I can only ask you again, name the guys of framptons youth, size, strength and punch and ability that LSC has "walked through".

    Frampton has scored a one punch ko against a big strong natural super bantam world champ in his twenties, in his prime, Kiko.

    LSC has been looking very very impressive, yes, but he has been feasting on ancient flyweights only...

    Do you see how this counts for something?

    I wouldn't count out Frampton against LSC. IMO it is 50/50. LSC did not look like a monster against Seda. But Leo has a lot of options to pick and big money fights at FW. He wont go to Belfast for less than a seven figures pay.

    He's 25 years old, he's Mexican and he's been fighting in world title fights since the middle of 2012.

    I suggest you go away and research "Mexican Gym Wars" hint, thats nothing to do with drugs or cartels :yep do you think Frampton is a biblical man mountain, the likes Santa Cruz has never seen before? :lol: PleaseĀ…...

    Frampton was in the **** against Kiko, and was beginning to look desperate, granted he punched his way out of trouble but the fact remains, Santa Cruz Frampton in my eyes = one sided demolition job.

    Just so you know where I stand, I fancy Quigg to stop Frampton also.

    I didnt see the Frampton and Kiko fight like that, i had Kiko well beaten then stopped.. Kiko will have success as his nature of fighting, but i think Frampton class act and would give Santa Cruz a real good fight.. You state Cruz is to strong? :nono Frampton will not be bullied by Cruz i think your massively underating Frampton. I would even go to say this will be Cruz's hardest fight to date.

    7 figures

    No chance! There's not a dogs chance Santa Cruz is earning 7 figures anywhere in the world unless Donaire gets made. Even then I don't see it.
