Do you think they are managing Leo Santa Cruz career at the right pace?

    Well then I hope you criticize Quigg 1/3 as much and Frampton 2/3 as much as you do Santa Cruz.

    They're milking it, in case you can't spot that almighty and always recurring theme yet.

    I always felt he was overrated. Some hyped him even prior to his most recent defeat. Despite big expectation and rave reviews, I never really valued him similar to my view of Sillakh. They never earned that sort of respect level from me.

    However, he wasn't remotely bad or anything. It's notable. And I'll respect that a bunch of people out there have respected Seda more than I have so it is of some relevance (beyond LSC's last several victims, that is).

    They know he would loose to frampton or Rigo. So they are just holding out for the big money mares fight. His punch out output is brilliant. But he fights in straight lines. A fighter with a good defence and movement would beat him.

    But Frampton and Quigg aren't the one's lying saying 'they will fight anybody' so they don't deserve the same level of criticism and it was Santa Cruz- not them, who didn't want to fight.

    Santa Cruz also turned down Mares, whereas Quigg recently got turned down by Donaire. So how exactly you can accuse Quigg in particular of milking it- when he was willing to take a much lower cut than Frampton- just goes to show your well know haterad of British fighters.

    I'm disappointed with his level of opposition for about the last year/year and a half now.

    And I really like Santa Cruz. He has a very crowd-pleasing style, but he's taking on a lot of no name guys these days.

    I really, really hope his next fight after May 2nd will be against Abner Mares, that fight has FOTY written all over it.
