    I will be more than happy to hold my hands up and say I got it wrong when and if it happens, but I just cannot see how people think Quigg is going to win this.

    As others have said scott just doesn't move his head and travells in straight lines.

    I think Carl will be too solid for him all round.

    I used to think it would be a closeish fight but now I think Frampton is way ahead.

    Also there has to be a reason why they keep putting him in with smaller fighters.

    We'll see if it happens and I have got plenty wrong before.

    I favour Frampton but the fight would be competitive imo

    I'd pick Frampton to win a comfortable enough points decision, but I think it would be relatively competitive in the same way Kiko kept Framtpon honest for the whole fight without ever really looking like winning it.

    My biggest issue with Quigg troubling Frampton is the amount of time it takes him to let his hands go when he gets into range. He's happy to walk in, take a few on the gloves and then let go. That's fine with Jamoye and Munroe, but Frampton just won't be there to take the shots by the time Quigg's set often enough for him to wear him down. Salinas caused him problems for 4-5 rounds for exactly that reason.

    Rigo obviously beats both hands down, but there's zero point of putting Quigg in with him as he'd be punching thin air for 12 rounds.

    Stylistically, LSC would be Quigg's best unification bet. He'd be the underdog, but stand a better chance than with the other 2.

    That's a good breakdown.
    One small quibble, Salinas caused Quigg trouble for a bit more than 4-5 rounds!:p


    Quigg v LSC might well be the very best of all the match ups at 122.
    Guaranteed barn burner IMO.
