Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz: I'll Fight Carl Frampton Whenever He is Ready!

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 know but to say he would "Destroy" Leo is just plain wrong and dumb thinking. Leo, Rig., Russell, Loma. Aren't an easy out for no one!!! I would favor all these guys over Quigg/Frampton. Which REALLY disappointed me...

You should fight cuellar , Russell Jr , or Loma at 126 ... Not to mention rigo , whom you avoided at 122 .

You are always taking advantage of the not as tough fighters , Kiko was a joke , and now you are trying frampton a small 5.3 super bantamweight . Why are you a feather weight ?? Fight the champs at your weight ... You are a joke , man .

Hit and not be hit

Though Frampton has real skill, I never count out guys with volume and pressure. Plus, Leo's guard is overlooked.

Frampton is taylor made for Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz has too much height and reach for someone with Frampton's style. He doesn't have the head movement, or boxing ability to get inside of that. He will end up getting done just like Kiko Martinez. Santa Cruz needs to stop being a coward and move back down to 122 to get schooled by Rigondeaux. If he won't do that, then he needs to fight Gary Russell Jr, or Lomachenko, instead of calling out smaller less skilled guys like Frampton.
