Comments Thread For: McGuigan: Carl Frampton Up For Fighter of The Year

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Barry McGuigan may be a bit biased in thinking highly of his fighter and his fighter's trainer, but he has a point - Carl Frampton and Barry's son Shane will deserve consideration when 2016 comes to a close for being fighter of the year and trainer of the year.

Spence Crawford ward

Those are fighters of the year

He should have never said he was ducking Rigo. He's running scared, no fighter of the year here.

Off the top of my head I can't think of any other fighter that is further ahead in the running for FOY than Framps.
Maybe if Gonzalez beats Cuadras to win a belt in a 4th division.

If Ward/Kov happens then the winner will probably get the award though.

Last I heard you don't get FOY for anything that happens outside of the ring including what you said or didn't say - its determined exclusively by what happens in the ring.

He wants action packed fights. He's not trying to have an amatuer scoring, non-televised fight with Rigondeaux. That's Rigondeaux problem, not Frampton. Framoton is doing the right thing by telling Rigo to piss off.

So why is he trying to fight Lee Selby then?

Because Selby will come to fight. There will be fireworks. Same with Russell Jr.
