Comments Thread For: Frampton's Promoter Eyes Russell, Selby Next - No Quigg, or Rigo
Ask Barry McGuigan about what he wants if his fighter, Carl Frampton, tops featherweight titleholder Leo Santa Cruz on Saturday night in Brooklyn, and McGuigan will correct you:
used to quite like frampton - sensible, down to earth guy, but let's not try kid everyone that it's about being the best. not knocking the cash side, who wouldn't take the big bucks, but after a while when you've all the cash you'll ever need ..... what he'll never be able to say is "i was the best". he's going to have to live with the duck tag the rest of his career and beyond. what i don't get is, why not fight the rigo?? it's a few months out of his career and there's no shame in being defeated - and from the way everyone else is ducking him, he would gain a lot of respect from taking it on.
I like Carl Frampton a lot but I'll always remember him for ducking Rigo, LSC too will be remembered for the same thing. They gave their titles up and left the division just not to fight him, smh.
