as I said last month Frankie Butler has not have a 6 rounder and has been at Featherweight his last two fights.

When he does 6 close to the weight he will get ranked.

 

what division should you be in frankie?

 

updated.

 

I totally agree with you. Frampton see himself as from the British though I beleive.

I think Frampton is the best fighter not holding a domestic title (commonealth/british higher) right now.

 

He is not British or Irish.

 

theres a difference between guys who were born or lived a high proportion of there lives in Britain & Ireland like Chisora, Alafoabi and guys like Perez, Choi, Sosnowski who just came here to box.

 

Both British citizens have possports and have won british titles. thats the difference.

 

trust the irish to come on and turn it into a debate about where someone is from.

Perez is not Irish. End of story.
