That loss to Salido was for one, a shot at a world title in Lomanchenko's second pro fight. It was also a fight not without controversy; Salido failed to make weight, may well have landed more than his share of low blows and may well have also landed less punches than Lomanchenko. A good example of the result on the record not telling the whole story. Whichever way it's cut, it's not a loss upon which to write off a fighter's true worth.

As much as there is to like about Frampton, and weight aside, stylewise- I think Santa Cruz' activity and his sharpness within those firefights, would be telling against both Frampton or Quigg. He does seem to throw a good variety in those types of exchanges.
While I don't think it's smart rate fighters on their performances against a common opponent (for several reasons)-
Santa Cruz without a shadow of a doubt topped the list of performances against Martinez. But he is the biggest of the 3 in question too.
I'd be happy to see any matchup with Rigo vs LSC vs Frampton. As being a Rigo fan I'd favor him fighting one of those two, but LSC vs Frampton would for sure get my attention to. I do feel like Rigo & Frampton are #1 & #2 in the division at this point doe so SHOULD be the fight thats happening.
