Carl Frampton vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux

Finance is one issue, belts is another.
Is Rigondeaux entitled to big money fights? Absolutely not. He CAN'T fight, he can only box conservatively.

Does he deserve all of the belts? Yes, because he's a great fighter who would toy with Frampton. The likes of Frampton are mere ABC contender belt holders, Rigo is the true champion and if he doesn't accept the Rigo fight, he should be stripped of all of his titles.

 

Yeah i cant really argue that bit. Billy Joe really let me down not taking the GGG fight, its a clear duck. But stand by my claim its an American thing its just all things American good or bad end up seeping into the British way of life.

 

It's not a national issue. I give BJS props for admitting it but he still deserves criticism. It's human nature, not American nature.

 

Rigo in not looking for big money he just want to fight the best in their own backyard give him some credit the paper champs are looking for the finance excuse and some fans are playing the game too.

 

Frampton dnt want it

 

McGuigan has said that they're "more inclined" to face Shingo Wake (me neither) for the IBF mandatory and vacate the WBA title. No surprise.

I actually interviewed Frampton a while ago and he said Rigo was the greatest amateur ever and the best P4P fighter in the world (this was before Rigo won a title), so he's always been aware of how good he is.

 

Lie.

Let's not act like Frampton is some kind of a superstar. Nobody has ever heard of that guy outside of the British isles. And Rigondeaux is more than likely better known than him in the USA.

Brings more money than Shingo Wake.
Brings more prestige/fame/popularity than Shingo Wake.
Brings more respect than any other potential opponent for Framtpon.

However, he also brings a beatdown towards Frampton.

 

So, what has more chance of happening you think IB... this thread actually getting a poll, or the fight itself?

 

rigo unlocks Frampton for a handy decision.

 

Wont happen Mcquigan already said they are going to duck him

 

if they do fight what do they do about the nicknames surely the two of them wont be going in using the same ****ing nickname

 

Would need to be a 70/30 purse split in Framptons favour though, he is the draw.

 

v good question. not sure but at the end one will be the jackazz

 

Chance Rigo goes off the rails overnight as 35 is ancient for a SBW :think

Have to favor him here on paper but remember... Father time is undefeated :deal
