    Both would beat Selby. Selby has **** poor defence, if Lindsay was a big puncher then Selby would have been done. Lindsay hit him a lot in their fight. Selby seemed to have a good chin though.

    Quigg looks a bit tight at 122, I can definately see him moving up. I reckon he'd give Selby a tougher fight than Frampton, he's bigger & seems more defensively responsible recently.

    Selby-Frampton would be a shoot-out & Selby has more firepower.

    I would imagine both will go up at some point. Whoever loses between the two will probably jump up in weight.

    Frampton would beat Selby IMO, Selby knocks out Quigg.

    I do think he has a leaky defense, however I do think it was because Lindsay couldn't hurt him so he ****ed around a bit. But at this moment in time I would favour both quigg and frampton to beat him , but Selby is a top talent.

    Selby is a bone fide super feather crammed into a featherweight.

    TBH i'd fancy Selby to stop Quigg . He's developing himself and he's a big guy. For Frampton he'd need to draw Selby onto him and look to counter with left hooks and force Selby into mistakes (sloppyness/falling out of position/offsetting etc).

    As well as Quigg did against Munroe, Selby is a different fighter and i think Quigg wouldn't have the success Frampton would against Selby. Think the body punches would give him a taste of own medicine.

    Think Selby vs Frampton's the harder fight to call IMHO but i'd favor Selby think he'd start to trouble Frampton and stop him late. Selby's run of opponents has been top class for domestic level and he's won with ease. Whether he's got or willing to use the other gear we shall see but i'd take him to win late on after slowly breaking Frampton down.

    Great fights..

    I reckon Selby beats both of them. The issue would be that he gets hit a bit too much. I thought the Lindsay fight was a 50,50 fight because I just knew that Lindsay would catch Selby with the same left hook that took out Matthews so brutally and I didn't know if Selby could take it. Well, he could.

    Selby kind of reminds me of Juanma in some ways. He fights like he believes in his chin and wings punches in in a similar manner. Selby is better though imo (big statement I know). He's got more dimensions to his game and can actually fight going backwards and on the move and also it's noticeable when he steps up a gear in there. Watch the 2nd round of the Lindsay fight. Selby moves up a gear and it's no longer competitive. I agreed with him when he said he could have taken Lindsay out if he went for it more.

    Both would be more difficult than any fight Selby has had so far. Quigg and Frampton actually have really good footwork and movement. I think Selby would match Quigg for speed and has more power. The rounds would be close because Quigg is very economical and has a very high guard and will be catching Selby when he explodes with punches. Its a close fight but I fancy Selby to just land the harder punches and if he needs to pressurise Quigg I can see him doing it. Frampton would be a tough fight too. Selby would have to take some punches again but I think he would beat Frampton by slowing him down with those big body shots and then drawing him into more of a toe to toe fight, which as we saw against Kiko, isn't Framptons game.
