    Selby is a joke. They asked him if he wanted to face Russell and he said he wanted Russell to face Lomachenko again. Does this guy have no confidence of beating Russell?
    Why doesn't he want to fight Russell?
    The Frampton fight is probably not happening this year, so why not fight Russell in the end of this year?
    Selby himself doesnt bring much money, but as an event Selby vs Frampton would be big. Two Brit world champs in the same division, both prime?

    Perfect. Only problem is that it makes most money in the UK, and over here they are on different networks, but in the US where its not so big, they would have no problem making it.

      That seems like the next likely fight. Throw Selby in the mix too.

            Hmm..I see. So they may run into problems making the fight.
            Well, people keep saying that Russell would be an easy fight, so why not go for the easy belt and money?
            I am not a Selby fan. I don't like the comments he's made in the past. It makes me feel like he doesn't want to test himself and instead looking to cash himself out.
            I think Frampton would fight all of the other top guys in the division. I am not too sure about Selby though. Hopefully they make him fight the other top guys whether he likes it or not. I want to see Selby vs. Russell, Frampton, LSC, Cuellar, Valdez. Defeats won't hurt you, Selby, it's OK.
            If Selby could prove that he's real then the Frampton fight becomes bigger and the networks may make it work.

              As for Frampton, we are going to hear his name a lot, it happens, hes the $ guy now at 126 and even though he looked good against LSC, he is still beatable so people want to jump on that fire while its hot. But like you I want to see the best fight the best, in a perfect world Gary Russel wouldve fought Selby and the winner couldve fought Frampton early next year after Frampton made a voluntary defense. Personally I hope Valdez throws his name into the mix more clear and gets a fight with Cueller, I dont think Mares will be back anytime soon so Cuellers left without a dance partner and Valdez beating an Argentine for the vacant belt gives that fight a little story line. As for LSC, to be honest I think he needs to work his way back up, Frampton beat him pretty clearly IMO. I have a funny feeling though that we will see LSC vs Gary Russel before we see him vs Frampton.
              I won't care too much if Mares doesn't comeback, I was just placing him in there just in case.
              Would you hate a LSC vs. Russell fight?
              Hopefully Haymon and Top Rank work together so Valdez can get some of those fights.
              LSC was always flawed. I think people would've wanted to fight him regardless of him losing to Frampton.
              I think LSC may take a tune up late this year or early next year, but I expect him to get back into the mix after that. I think LSC can still beat some guys. And he has said he wanted to move up in the future, his words not mine, so might as try to get more big fights at 126 before moving up.
              Russell and Selby should be able to fight later this year since Frampton and LSC will be busy. No excuses.

                GrJr vs Frampton makes my damn mouth water. So much speed and skill in the ring at one time.

                  if cuellar beats mares (supposedly they'll fight by the end of september) they should fight since cuellar is the regular champ of the WBA and now frampton is the super champion. the WBA gave santa cruz like 18 months to get that fight done so i don't know if they'll enforce that to frampton or they'll let him have another fight
