    I suspect Frampton drops the WBA and fights Wake for the IBF. With Cyclone's new TV deal the Wake fight would seem on the cards.

    As for Rigo, he'd likely fight Rojas for the vacant title.

    I think Frampton has to take on Rigo now.
    I think it has been fair enough not taking him on up to now, winning a title, mando, vol and unification bouts after, but now is the time.
    What I actually think will happen is that he will step up to 126 to face LSC. He signed a 3 fight deal with Haymon yeah? So next fight is 3rd and fact one of Watson lads there on Sat suggests a meeting with a Haymon fighter is next.
    From a business side, would Al allow Frampton to take on a Roc Nation fella? Doubt it.
    Frampton should face Rigo, he actually will take on Leo

    The rumoured one with Channel 5. It looks like Mick has been dropped by the channel.

    He wont take the fight, I wouldn't call it a duck necessarily but its clear he doesn't want to fight him, no one does because the risk reward is so poor its almost pointless.

    The reason he is probably not going to take the fight is because he would not be able to duck fast enough against Rigo! ;)
