Absolutely ridiculous. The strength in depth is unreal! Titlists/Top guys - Nishioka Donaire Rigo Mares Past prime 'names' - Montiel Rafa Marquez Mijares Darchinyan Arce? Best of Europe - Kiko Martinez Munroe Quigg Frampton Galahad? Bhaktin And - Mathebula Couple of Kamedas Terrezas Eric Morel? / Anselmo Moreno? Rico Ramos Wilfredo Jr Poonsawat Anyone of those 'past prime names' is what the Brits should be looking at IMO. How would Frampton do against Mijares/Montiel/Darchinyan/Marquez? :think He'd get US tele for any of those surely... There's just so much quality that there's really no need for any **** fights. Maybe one of the history buffs can enlighten me but surely that's got to be the best top 20 of SBW history. How strong of a weightclass is that in comparison to others?
Anselmo Moreno aswell if he steps up, he might just be the best of the lot. I think Frampton is dynamic and well rounded enough to do well against the guys you've mentioned, I'd leave him away from the top guys for a while though.
Darchinyan would be a huge name for frampton, think he could well beat him too. A come forward banger, could play well into Carl's hands
Ìts just an absolutely insane division and has been for the last decade or so. I think from 2000 to 2010 something like 7 of the ring magazine's fights of the year came from this weightclass
