Lol at Frampton calling this guy "a great fighter". I get that it's a short-notice fight but just call it what it is.

Why not step his competition up rather than down? I can see a good fight in some of these guys: Yasutaka Ishimoto, Cristian Mijares, Jeffrey Mathebula, Victor Terrazas or even Vic Darchinyan would be a great test. Come on, step up not DOWN CARL!

Are you special? He's just signed with Frank Warren and the fight is in a couple of weeks.

Was just about to put something like this.. little nicer though :P

Don't be expecting Carls opponant level to go up anytime soon, just look at Clev

If this was Gary Russell Jr. he'd get shat on for fighting this level of opposition. But it's Frampton so he gets a pass?

Cleverly is fighting Kovalev.

The *** has Gary Russell Jr got to do with Frampton? Did you read my post or are you special too?

Meaning that if it was an American fighter taking on easy scrubs like this we'd never hear the end of it. It's like there is a double standard on the forum.

Once again, did you read my first post? He just signed with Warren and the fight is in two weeks. Did you expect him to get Nonito Donaire?

Oh and Gary Russel Jr? I actually like him but if you want to compare their resumes? Frampton's is better with far less fights under his belt

What's his excuse? The kid has the GBP machine behind him and still hasn't fought anybody.

For a stand in opponent at 2 weeks notice it could be much worse.
