Carl Frampton enters Ring mag p4p..

[1g5a22]

At #10. Very happy for Frampton.. A deserved entrant. Kid has both the skills & the resume now:

-Léo Santa Cruz
-Alejandro González, Jr.
-Scott Quigg
-Christopher Avalos
-Kiko Martinez x2
-Steve Molitor
-Raúl Hirales Jr.

A fairy tale story for he & the Mcguigans. Carl on his legacy:

I want to be a legend, Honestly, that's what I want to be, a legend in Irish sport. I think it's coming up to 30 years since Barry won his world title in Loftus Road against Pedroza and people are still talking about it. I want to be like that 30 years from now – people are talking about my fights with guys like Chris Avalos and Kiko Martinez in the pubs all over Ireland. That's what I intend to do. I want to create a legacy. I want to keep beating big names. I want to get big fights, bring them back to Belfast as much as possible, and keep winning.

Barry McGuigan:

Carl is doing what I did. He's a beacon for peace and reconciliation and represents the future of Northern Ireland.

As a fighter, McGuigan was known for wearing a Dove on his shorts, as a representation of peace. He also had no national anthem played at his fights, he took up dual Irish-British citizenship which allowed him to fight for British Domestic titles, and he married a Protestant woman, all of which had huge significance at the time. It is hard to not draw comparisons, with Frampton following down an almost identical path. He too has even married a Catholic woman despite being Protestant, and he too has a large following of die-hard fans from both Catholic and Protestant backgrounds, who attend his fights in their thousands.

This kid could end up being the best Irish fighter who ever lived

He maybe right!

I think #10 is way too low. In the last year he has 2 Top3 fighters from different divisions on his resume. Nobody in the last 2-3 years has done that.

He makes easy top5 on my list.

Considering his resume is better than a couple of the p4p list entrants maybe. However p4p isn't just about resume.. He is deserving though I don't know where I would place him personally.

[Outwest Exp 355]

I really liked the way he fought Leo. This kid has the skill and moxie to become a huge star. I'm looking forward to seeing his next fight.

This was hard work from carl and his team of father and son, I remember when they left Eddie "the snake" hearns because they wanted more control of carl career similar to the Eubank scenario, but they have made it work and kept it steady. Now they would be reaping the benefit of it NOT a promoter taking the bulk of the reward.

#10 seems a little low, the guy unified at 122 & is now a 2 division champ.. Needs to move up.. I would like to place him 1 below Bud at #6 though.. his competition level has been consistently good..

He's not about wanting to become a legend though... He just put out a statement that he needs to look out for his family because fighting rigo doesn't make dollar sense. He wanted to be a legend he should fight rigo one of the boogeyman of boxing.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Good for him. His last two fights proved he was willing to fight the best. He did so and came out on top. I haven't see most of the list face down odds like that in a while if ever. So here's to the Irishman. I'm looking forward to his future fights.

[Earl-Hickey]

I like Frampton wish Barry McGuigan would shut up though he's living vicariously through him

[1hourRun]

Beating the great Scott Quigg and robbing Leo Santa Cruz makes you P4P now? disgraceful....lets keep it real both Quig and Framptons career would have never been if they faced Rigo...this is a product of careful match making and corrupt judges.
