[slimshandy69]

Both are extremely exciting. There's styles are quite similar. Frampton not lost but khan has better resume.

Who do you rate more?

Frampton, Khan can't hold a shot from the big puncher's at WW.

Khan has the better resume though.

edit* it's cause of resume man i don't think you can rate frampton just yet he is definitely exciting my favorite bantam most def!

I think for now with the general public Khan, he has been around longer, household name, has the resume. But as a hardcore I think Frampton might prove himself to be the better pro, whilst he may not have that natural blistering speed and long range boxing ability like Khan, Frampton probably has more tools in his locker.

Last night has stemmed the momentum for Frampton, and he has shown some vulnerabilities for the first time. Lets see how it all plays out, a couple of things I am not certain of regarding Frampton is Shane Mcguigan as a trainer has absolutely no experience, not sure he can bring the best out of him, and recently he has become a really aggressive fighter, a more exciting fighter. Previously he was very cagey, picked his shots, boxed much more, I didn't find him very good to watch but he looked harder to beat. I think he has realised he has the power to get people out of there quick, but needs to mesh his two styles a little better, find the right balance of attack and defence.

Since the first few times I saw Frampton fight I thought he could become top 10 p4p, I really rated him that highly. Last night has dampened that confidence a little, but lets see as he steps up in level. I think he needs to spend some time in the US sparring though, maybe some time at the Wildcard, etc.

In 2015, Frampton. Khan has fought better fighters but in 2015, he ain't **** imo.

I agree with what you say here about Frampton needing to control his aggression now. He is more effective as a boxer/puncher than he is as a pressure fighter.

Compare his 2 fights with Kiko. In the first, Carl boxed defensively, looking for counter punches while allowing Kiko to come foreward, and he ended up KO'ing Martinez. Second fight, Frampton was on the attack from the start, pressing foreward and forcing Kiko back, and that fight went the distance.

Re Frampton vs Khan, Khan is much better known than Frampton in mainland UK and I'm sure he has more fans too, though Amir is less popular now than he used to be.

Obviously, Khan's resume is better, but he also has those KO defeats which people seem to mention more than his wins.

Here's an interesting point - Khan is the veteran and Frampton is the new kid on the block, but they are actually both the same age - 28.

I had no idea of that - I always thought Frampton was 22/23...

Khan's achievements were all at a very young age, his career has been on the slide since 2011.

Frampton can be as successful as Khan was, maybe even more so.

Shutting out Luis Collazo and Devon Alexander back to back is no mean feat, I can't think of many if any welterweights capable of that. He had a bad night against Algieri but still won. Khan has always been held to a higher standard since his debut, some of it probably a little unfair. He has had a hell of a career, and its not finished.

Frampton is the better fighter.

I rate him very, very highly.
