    Frampton vs Selby/Russel Jnr

    So these are the obvious fights to make outside of an LSC rematch for Frampton.

    Both very makeable with all fighters in the Al Haymon stable.

    Who do you think comes out on top in each?

    I think he beats Selby but comes up a little short vs the much improved GRjnr.

    Russels speed and explosiveness could cause Frampton a lot of issues because he leaves himself open defensively. Especially later in fights

    Selby i just have never rated that highly. He proved me wrong in the Gradovic fight, but since then he has looked more like the fighter i thought he was. Frampton just a bit more quality all round, though, without looking up stats, Selby looks the bigger man

      Valdez has also put himself in the picture with his title win, but he with BArum so didnt include him.

      IMO he has a good chance to beat them all, even at this stage with him still having a lot to learn

        I think he beats the bigger Selby but probably gets stopped by Russell Jr.

        Selby is all kinds of ordinary.

            All good fights, you can throw Josh Warrington in the mix too. thats a good business fight, he has a bigger following than Selby and has been fighting on Sky.

              Frampton v Selby is another 50/50 match up. Selby is bigger than Frampton, as are most guys at the weight and maybe just as skilled but Frampton is smarter and busier. Terrific match up.

              Garry "TBA" Russel ain't worth a damn. Frampton would beat him with a WIDE decision. It's the easiest title to pick up at the weight.

                russel jr destroys him come on man. did you see slow-no power santa cruz connecting over and over? hes lucky santa cruz has no speed or power. gary would whip those quick punches on his chin and frampton would still be throwing his own robotic-style combos while falling to the canvas. and who is selby wtf

                  Frampton seems to have a pretty good chin tbf, but yeah I see GRjr beating him.

                    Selby will actually employ the strategy that fans were thinking LSC would use.

                    Frampton vs. Russell would be the battle of the T-Rex arms lol
