      Yet Gennady beats a Welter in his first UK appearance and industry are not shameful in stating that it was Brook that sold out the 02, and not citing that the fans boo'd.

      Jaw breaking your own weight vs a 160 Hulk on a Welter's orbital

        Yeah props to Rigo for that, like I said I'm a big Rigo fan I thought it was sick, he basically ended that fight with 1 punch , that's some assassin sniper sh.it,

        But the fact is Rigos fought on a undercard and Frampton on one of the best runs in boxing with better more lucrative options then fighting Rigo. Anyone in Carl's position would have done the same thing

        That's why I said Rigo needs to fight in the UK every other month and build some equity so he can bring some $ to the table. Obviously being the best isn't cutting it because the only thing he brings right now is a couple sheckles and a gaurenteed a.ss kicking. People would rather move up in weight and drop their belts or ignore him because he isn't worth the risk

        I don't see why Gennady is even relevent to this conversation

          No clue, I thought he wanted the weight to be 124... That would have been an amazing fight

            Before he left, Arum gave him cab driver Agbeko to make him shine like a Cuban star. He stunk up the place and made people exit the doors in mass numbers. Years later, he was given another cab driver on HBO and did the same thing. When are you ... going to stop blaming everyone but the dry guy?
            ... Facts: that "dry guy" destroyed Donaire... and LSC, Frampton, a.s.o. all ducked that "dry guy"...

              Council's have rules. The WBA ordered Frampton to fight Rigo. The WBA eventually stripped the strap and gave it to Rigo.

              Gennady is relevant because Bigdramashow started a thread trolling that what Alvarez did, not agreeing to negotiations and instead vacated as to not even entice a purse bid, is the whole conversation in boxing regarding the splits! That proves that the purse bid would've been out of the question if 90/10 was real offer. There's no other way to spin it.

                Who gives a sh.it about the councils rules, They enforce them when they see fit or when they want $.

                Yeah I think Frampton could cares less about that they stripped him, He chose a better career option and if you were in his shoes you'd do the same thing. His run of Quigg,Cruz (x2) are higher monetary and higher profile fights then Rigo. Rigo needs to get his $ up so other fighters will fight him.

                Gennadys not relevent to this thread regardless of what Barcham 2.0 aka bigdramashowshow think or said, That guys a tool and would probably give Gennady a ******* if given the opportunity

                His love of Gennady is kind of pathetic and his love of 1 certain fighter is only second to Spoon23. The guy sounds ******ed belittling Andre Wards resume or criticizing PBC when his favorite fighter is or more guilty of those offences that he cries about

                    Frampton held the belt for a matter of weeks, as he won it in the unification with Quigg. He was struggling to make 122 big time, to the point that it was affecting his performances, and that became even more obvious after his Santa Cruz performance at 126.

                    Frampton had a stellar year, don't bring him into your guys BS convoluted argument about Ward, Kovalev, and GGG.

                    HOW THE HELL HAS CARL FRAMPTON BEEN DRAGGED INTO THIS?

                      Frampton beat Scott Quigg and Leo Santa Cruz this year alone, he is up for Fighter Of The Year FOR SURE!

                      I'm a Rigo fan but boxing will not wait for Rigo, maybe he needs to move up as well and reissue that challenge because he is not getting any younger and who is left at 122 anyway?
