    Give credit where credit is due. You worrying about Roman being P4P when Frampton was the real one putting in work this year. I dislike the fact that he ducked Rigondeaux but he made up for it by fighting 2 meaningful battles this year.

    He unified the IBF and WBA super bantamweight tiles against Scott Quigg and cracked his fragile mandible in the 4th.

    Frampton moved up a weight class and took on the bigger Leo Santa Cruz and went toe to toe with the over protected douchebag.

    Frampton should be on the ballot for fighter of the year.

    Credit where it's due, Frampton is a great fighter.

    Still going to get pieced up by Rigo.

    And I picked him to beat both Quigg and Santa Cruz without hesitation.:D Big Frampton fan, and he validated my claims about him this year.

    Ducking Rigo hurts him, everyone in boxing know he ducked him just like Leo did.

    For sure. I feel for Rigo and he had his chance to get better representation and promotion through Al Haymon but chose to follow his communist ways and stick with the same team that got him where he is today, nowhere. I give Arum credit , he really tried with Rigo too, but these Cubans get more than $50,000 in their accounts and act like it's $50 million. Gamboa did the same **** too.

    Of course he ducked Rigo but hasn't everyone,but unlike Canelo,Saunders etc who have been fighting nobodies after ducking GGG at least Frampton has had two big fights and won.

    I've been a fan of Frampton from the start,the guy is quality,can box the ears off most and can also choose to brawl,defo fighter of the year!
