    Pathetic excuses. We both know it would be the same story if Rigo moved up...and the cycle repeats itself...funny that money is not the issue with lesser known opponents as I previously mentioned Kiko Martinez and Gonzalez but its a big issue with Rigo...well...done here I did everything I could to help you.
    Again, explain to me why Frampton would now choose to fight Rigo taking into consideration:

    -Frampton has matured into a FW & Rigo is a SBW
    -He has hardly any marketability or fan-base
    -A fellow UK name called Lee Selby exists

    Again. Get real. Boxing is a business. Stop being so naïve & applying ideals & purism in the context I have just set out. It's silly & never as black & white as 'oh well he ducked....'

    Peak Andre Ward never fought Dirrell. I wouldn't say he ducked him per se..

      Because Frampton said he wants to create his own legacy. Doesn't get any easier to create that legacy than fighting and beating Rigo. Honest talk here. But I would say that Frampton is my #10P4P fighter right now.

        Maybe if Rigondeaux moves to FW & becomes marketable all of a sudden then maybe he would rule him back in. But for the reasons set out I do not think it feasible to criticise Frampton for not fighting Rigo now:

        -Frampton has matured into a FW & Rigo is a SBW
        -He has hardly any marketability or fan-base
        -A fellow UK name called Lee Selby exists

        Boxing is a business. It's just being real. I agree it would add to his legacy but so would many things, like unifying FW etc
