Comments Thread For: Frampton: I Want Leo Santa Cruz in Belfast, Doubt He'll Come

I have never seen Carl miss weight at super bantam, have you?

Plus, he is barely 5'4'', whereas LSC is about 5'7''. That's a 3 inch height disparity, I'm sure at least 2 inches in reach as well. Frampton is not suited for feather.

He almost did vs Cobrita Gonzalez, where he got drop twice, after the fight he admitted he he struggle to make weigh, unless it was an excuse to his poor showing vs an unknown fighter.:dunno

Probably an excuse and there were rumours spread by Quiggs team that he was struggling again but I didn't see any signs of that.

No it's not, Frampton is a genuine draw, LSC is not, or not on the same level as Frampton. Not even close.

But I think Frampton's team are more than happy with a US fight with favourable purses.

I just think 126 is too big for Carl.

Too big? Doesn't Frampton struggle to make weight?

If you read the back and forth, you realise that he doesn't. There seemed to be talk about it from Frampton's team after the US fight and rumours before the Quigg fight but in his own words, he stated that he made weight easily against Quigg.

Also, it doesn't matter if he is finding it difficult to make 122, that is in no way related to being a featherweight and severely undersized against someone like LSC, or Loma or Selby, who all sit around the 5'6'' mark with a longer reach than Frampton too. Someone like Selby is also just plain bigger in a physical sense.

Frampton is short with a slight frame. You will all say the same if the LSC fight comes through.
