    Certainly has great and beloved PR machine behind him, now we've got to see him step up.

    The Molitor fight is a step up. Infact its a huge step up when you consider his recent comp

    Hasnt impressed me so far.

    Lets see how he does when he steps up in comp .

    Molitor is already a step up from the scrubs hes been feastin on.

    But i think he should beat Molitor who's a decent fighter at best but far from elite.

    Really? Only one fight he didn't look impressive imo. And he still won almost all the rounds against Turley.

    I have high standards, its from years of watching guys that were supposed to be "The next big thing" turning out to be nothing more than hypejobs, so i'm a bit skeptic with fighters that get the great label before they have beat anyone worth talking abut. not saying this is the case he might turn out to be the real deal but until i see him beat a top fighter i'll have my doubts.

    I don't think he'll be p4p talent. He's quite small and has a short reach (guys like Moreno and Cordoba would be a nightmare for him) but I am impressed with him. Don't think anyone is hyping him to be the best thing since sliced bread, bar McGuigan, who's his manager.

    Frampton is a good little boxer-puncher with nice technique. I think he lacks the range & speed to be a world beater & whilst a decent puncher doesnt have the power to stop world class opponents.

    He has a good team around him & a high profile so he wont lack for opportunities, Molitor will be a big step up.
