Carl Frampton enters Ring mag p4p..

At #10. Very happy for Frampton.. A deserved entrant. Kid has both the skills & the resume now: -Léo Santa Cruz -Alejandro González, Jr. -Scott Quigg -Christopher Avalos -Kiko Martinez x2 -Steve Molitor -Raúl Hirales Jr. A fairy tale story for he & the Mcguigans. Carl on his legacy: I want to be a legend, Honestly, that's what I want to be, a legend in Irish sport. I think it's coming up to 30 years since Barry won his world title in Loftus Road against Pedroza and people are still talking about it. I want to be like that 30 years from now – people are talking about my fights with guys like Chris Avalos and Kiko Martinez in the pubs all over Ireland. That's what I intend to do. I want to create a legacy. I want to keep beating big names. I want to get big fights, bring them back to Belfast as much as possible, and keep winning. Barry McGuigan: Carl is doing what I did. He's a beacon for peace and reconciliation and represents the future of Northern Ireland. As a fighter, McGuigan was known for wearing a Dove on his shorts, as a representation of peace. He also had no national anthem played at his fights, he took up dual Irish-British citizenship which allowed him to fight for British Domestic titles, and he married a Protestant woman, all of which had huge significance at the time. It is hard to not draw comparisons, with Frampton following down an almost identical path. He too has even married a Catholic woman despite being Protestant, and he too has a large following of die-hard fans from both Catholic and Protestant backgrounds, who attend his fights in their thousands. This kid could end up being the best Irish fighter who ever lived - Barry McGuigan He maybe right!
