Leo Santa Cruz vs Frampton/Quigg

Dont rate Frampton? Nothing to do with your bias is it?

 

Uh-oh, is this an English versus Irish thing?

 

More then likely! Nice to see both getting some plaudits and getting spoken about on the other shore.

Both a good talents but for me, I have Frampton beating Quigg. He's just a better all round boxer.

Kiko, even in defeat, is always competitive in his fights and he got taken apart by Frampton. Two fights later stops Romero. Which has only made Framptons victory look better.

 

i think this is a intresting question who is santa cruz best win terravez, look i think cruz right now beats frampton and quigg but lets be clear he did struggle with a novice prospect in cbs. i would also add in the early days quigg was more hyped up prospect but has shown more vulnerabilities like the arthur fight and salinas. Frampton has shown less vulnerabilities as a fighter never getting knocked down and thought better competion.
Quigg should of beaten salinas (who's best profmance is draw to cermano guy who got rooted by bakhtin) but he made it really close and he is more robotic compared to frampton.


i would also add booth, salinas and munroe are quiggs best wins but compared to frampton whos best win are hirales, moltier and martinez it is not as good with a argument could be made with his top 3 being better than santa cruz, and also cruz has good accumlative power but frampton has probablly the best one punch power of the three.

So to add cruz beats frampton and quigg right now but frampton beating cruz wont surprise me. frampton if he cant fight quigg should fight either mijares or vazquez jr to gauge his level before martinez-mathubla winner

 

Leo is a great no doubtl. But Frampton dealt with pressure from Kiko (the improved Kiko) who subsequently brushed Romero a side.
I think Frampton has the ability to cope with Santa Cruz constan pressure mainly because he has good footwork, can bang, and now has developed headmovement also. As someone else said, lets see Quigg and Frampton settle first.
Also all 3 might be ready for Rigo in 2 years but right now I thin Rigo too skilled for all of them. Style wise Leo Santa Cruz would be a dream come true for Rigo.

 

Neither of these guys have fought the top Dawg of the division, like Rigo or Mares.

It's hard to gauge who wins. I'd always go the with Mexican heart, chin, power and IQ in this one.
