Comments Thread For: Lee Selby: I Need The Carl Frampton Fight To Raise My Profile

I was one of Selby's worse critics when he won his title. Now he's getting pushed to prove it, the hard part is coming. I'm beginning to feel his situation.

I really thought Selby would be pissed after GRJ called him out in his face on Showtime, and would demand the fight! I guess he's only interested in Frampton! I thought so to but I don't think he wants that work from Russell. Selby likes his chances better against Frampton and it would be more money.

You took the words right out my mouth, I was thinking the same thing.I really thought Selby would be pissed after GRJ called him out in his face on Showtime, and would demand the fight! I guess he's only interested in Frampton!

Don't understand all the dislike of Selby.In spite of that,unification's a good thing and I'm glad that's where we're heading I wouldn't say dislike, it's unfulfilled expectations. He gets another chance vs Barros. He can change the landscape, but another sub par showing and the only real money will be in a kamikaze, Brook like, leap.

You could've raised your profile by fighting Gary Russell Jr. instead of Jonathan Barros! You took the words right out my mouth, I was thinking the same thing.

Carl wins tomorrow, then selby vs Carl in Belfast in the summer, can't wait! Everywhere we gooooo, everywhere we gooooooooooo, it's the Ulster boys, making all the noise, everywhere we gooooo.

selby needs to get fight dates first

I've followed the selby brothers since the amateurs .Both solid fighters with underrated boxing ability Can't understand the hate really . He hasn't had the stage the olympians have had or the facilities but he's worked his way up the hard way Shocked smith to really get noticed and never looked back . Beat everyone put in front of him . It's hearn and al hamon's fault he hasn't got the big fights yet . Frampton selby would be a great fight . Fingers crossed both fighters win their next fights

Welsh.......... right............ Surely he has some gyppo or Arab in him?

This idiot killed his own career with that, "Welsh Mayweather" bullshid. He imitates Floyd on the pads that's it. He's struggled to close decisions against fringe contenders. He's also been given gifts against unknowns. Carl Frampton knocks him out no question.

Much talk Selby, you are only a fu.ckin B class, nothing special and one of the worst champs actually.

This one is not good enough to see pass a minor threat like Barros, much less to think about a fight with Frampton.

This kid had a chance to step up and even unify, but he let Gary Russell Jr of all people punk him. While Frampton isn't a big attraction you can tell Selby is just looking to have a fight over in the UK and cash out.
