    The mythical P4P didn't exist those days.

    Calzage was never #1 p4p and never considered for that position. He got to #3 on the defeats of two old heads/ Bernard and Jones because of their status at the time and not their actual skill level.

    Bernard had just beaten Winky Wright, he also went on to beat Pascal after this. He was far from finished. A guy who gets outboxed by chris John can't be #2 p4p. Joe was at least #2.

    Deal with it. :deal

    He absolutely is, where he comes from is fiercely loyal to the crown.

    At the ludicrous notion that Frampton isn't British. He's a fiercely proud and patriotic Englishman. :patsch

    He was close, behind Pacquiao after he beat Bernard in 2008. (And Mayweather's retirement). Unfortunately, never happened.

    soccer is the #1 sport in ninety percent of the countries on earth. its not like soccer players are tough, or have an ounce of heart. they play soccer for a reason, they're gutless,

    Still identifies himself as Irish as far as I heard. Just like Barry McGuigan refers to himself as Irish. Frampton wants to be a legend of "Irish sport" and not "British sport".

    He wants to represent Ireland more like. I've never heard him mention just Northern Ireland, it's always Ireland as a whole.

    Yet he still states he wants to be an Irish legend and never mentions a connotation towards Britain, it's always Ireland :huh
