Comments Thread For: Carl Frampton: I Haven't Surpassed Conor McGregor Just Yet

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Carl Frampton is a star in Belfast and Northern Ireland, was a unified titleholder at 122 pounds and has just added a world title at 126 with a win over Leo Santa Cruz. That led one reporter to ask Frampton whether he feels he's now the face of Irish combat sports, beyond mixed martial artist Conor McGregor and boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

I think you have champ. Connor may sell better but you have the better resume.

It's hard for him to get as much attention as McGregor as he's not a trash talker.
McGregor knew trash talking would get him well known so went at it full throttle. And the casuals went crazy for it.

Irish fans are passionate though, so if he keeps at it they will continue to be behind him. If he can squeeze a fight onto free TV (ITV) like he has done in recent years, then that well help him transcend over even more.

Conor Mcgregor got choked out and quit and gave up quickly

Wee man Conor the Irish Leprechaun went out out like a soggy limp rag after being choked out by the average Nate ain't great Diaz. Framp is a true champion of Ireland. Not sure if Ireland has any arenas or boxing venue's with electricity for a major title fight buty FrAMP DESERVES a belfast fight with Leo or Selby. screw little Rigo the boxing hemorrhoid annoying everyone and who won't go away. Framp had a statement win against the snooze. a great win for all of ireland who as a country does not have many victories in anything.

Does Frampton get much support from the Republic of Ireland?

Obviously he is huge in NI

Do the two Irelands embrace each others sports stars?

[observer]

When you ask an Irish person "which Ireland are you from" the answer is "there's only one Ireland". It's "up North" or "down South". There are probably the types of comments you are going to get.

the point is he went up 2 weight classes to fight nate diaz (drug addict) who probably could bend u over have his way with u in front of your whole family.

Whatever the haters say Mcgregor is a cool dude with an exciting style and personality. That will always bring the masses.

Frampton might lack the personality but he isnt afraid to mix it up and is clearly a higher class operator than Mcgregor. I think if he clears out guys like Selby, Russell, Mares, Cuellar he will be on par with Mcgregor in terms of popularity in Ireland.

Big fan of Frampton especially after the LSC fight. He's everything you want to see in a great boxer puncher. Skill, speed, power puncher, and combinations.
