    CARL FRAMPTON wants to make yet more history and become the first Irish fighter to win world titles in three weight classes, should he defeat Leo Santa Cruz this weekend.

    That is a super fight IMO Massive! I am salivating at the mere thought...

    I like both fighters and wouldn't mind seeing the fight. With that said Loma is a better boxer than Frampton who's a quality operator in his own right. Framption would get outboxed and possibly stopped by Loma late.

    I can't see anyone beating Lomachenko unless they fight dirty.

    I can't stand Frampton. He doesn't want to fight at 122lbs against the small Rigondeaux but apparently wants to fight Loma at 130. He'll be knocked out by Lomachenko.

    It is rather strange considering he blatantly avoided Rigo but now wants a fighter who I believe is far more dangerous for him.

    That's what confidence can do though, Frampton is buzzing at the moment and says he is happy to take on anybody, he is also talking about Selby in Belfast.

    So hopefully he isn't sort of overlooking LSC because I think we will see a much more aggressive LSC this time and it is a dangerous fight for him.

    Because if he loses to a smaller man in Rigo it will look much worse than losing to the bigger man in Loma. Not to mention he would probably get more money buy fighting Loma than he would for Rigo. I think he loses to either but probably beats everyone else at 126 with Russell Jr being a toss up fight for him.

    Frampton is biting more than he can chew. This like Tito looking for Roy jones if he beat Hopkins.

    He said he wasn't calling him out like that. Loma wrecks him based on size

    LSC wins Saturday, fight 3 takes place somewhere in the UK. Frampton is a fine fighter, but getting a little to big for his britches in thinking he has a shot at Lomachenko. Loma is a different animal, I believe he makes Frampton look ordinary and probably stops him if they were to fight.

    Carol don't really wanted Loma troubles. He's just talking smack and hyping his rematch with Leo.

    Yeah I see what you're saying, makes sense and I agree he loses to both and GRJ is toss up.

    How do you see this weekend going?

    Do you think Frampton is taking LSC a little lightly this time around with all this talk of Selby in Belfast, Loma and a couple other potential fights?

    What exactly is ur issue with Frampton?

    If u take a minute to compare the pros and cons with fighting both Loma and Rigo its pretty obvious why he would want to fight one and not the other

    Name me another comparable current fighter who would have chose to fight Rigo given Framptons position? lets not even get into the problems nearly everyone has negotiating with Rigo and when they can make a fight he doesn't even bother to get a visa

    Frampton is a brilliant statesmen for the sport of boxing, young, articulate family man who rarely loses his cool or causes a scene and that's before we talk about his proven p4p skills and balls to fight away from home at higher weights

    With exception of someone like Alexis Arguello who had fight ending one shot power at 130 and would fight anyone, I don't know who would honestly want Loma troubles.
