Does Frampton deserve credit for moving up to 126?

Anyone else suspicious that Frampton is on steroids? I heard he gets below 5% body fat (around 2.5-3%) and I thought that was impossible. For an athlete like a boxer they rely on energy from fat. Where does he get that energy? He is explosive and ripped with clearly extremely low bodyfat. Genetics can account for only so much.

I don't want to be that guy but...I also don't like being lied to. It's not secret that a lot of boxers are on the juice. Surprisingly since juice has become mainstream in boxing the quality of boxers has shot dead out of the sky.

 

The Rigo thing was a duck as clear as day in my book. Though that said, LSC is still a good fight and one I look forward to.

I think we push for the Rigo fight with a lot of guys so we can see if he's still as good as he was. Really worry his career is going to turn into a "could you imagine if he had fought X or Y?"

 

He does carry a lot of muscle for someone of his height though. He's a lot stockier than someone like Scott Quigg.

 

“I have to seriously consider whether to stay at this weight or go to featherweight. I had a lot of weight to take off during the last few days before the fight,” July 2015

 

He had a super fight and was unified title holder at SBW. The only fight worth hanging around for was Rigo.

I would much rather he leave the division that pretend to be world champion.

 

After LSC slaughters him dude can always back down. (But yeah credit... to Frampton)

 

Slaughters him based on what?

LSC has had 1 decent win in his career, and that was against an hugely overrated Mares who has looked half the fighter he was prior to his humiliating defeat at the hands of another country man. It wasnt long ago LSC he was one of the biggest laughing stocks in boxing and since he won a MD over a shot overated former champion people talk about him as if hes pound for pound material

we wont even mention how his face looked after 5 rounds with Kiko :tired


Leo is a one dimensional plodding volume pressure fighter, if Frampton can negate that then this will be a long night for Santa Cruz. Frampton is one of the most versatile boxers in world boxing atm with outstanding footwork... If his opponent can only fight one way he has the skills to adapt and counter

Dont be surprised if Frampton boxes rings round LSC

GAWA :bbb

 

They both talked about Rigo and then they ducked him.
There is nothing at 122 for Rigo. A rematch with Donaire?

 

Frampton tires late and he doesn't have a high work rate to start with.

He had enegry late against Quigg cos neither of them did nothing for the first 6.

 

He only moved up cos he had to face Rigo.

Why should he get credit for being a belt dropping duck:huh

 

He is crossing the ocean to face a 3 weight champ in his home country. In a new heavier division. In any mans language, This is a gutsy move by Carl.

 

Being able to last that long (high work rate or not) with the kind of bodyfat is what I'm saying.

 

He doesnt look any dryer than any other boxer who maintains solid conditioning

And anyways, name me another born and bread British or Irish boxer who has test positive for any banned substances in recent years?

 

Though I would've liked to see him fight Rigo, facing LSC at 126 in his first fight at the weight, and traveling to do it, is a credit-worthy move.

It will be disappointing that it looks as though neither a Rigo or Loma fight will happen.

 

Its normal for him. He's only the size of a waste bin.
