Hhhhmmm... I don't know how big of an injustice this is. I don't mind Frampton getting some love, but I just don't know enough about UK sports.... However, I would imagine some people aren't amused by him ducking Rigo... I would leave him off the list if other athletes were readily though of...

Maybe if you hadn't avoided Rigo like a plague, after calling him out, you might have more credibility. and super bike?? lol its not exactly MotoGP

its a pretty big injustice, theyve had boxers on there who have done a lot less than frampton did this year. Dont think its anything to do with anti irish bias, its just that hes not really a big name at all, doubt many people even knew he fought santa cruz

[angkag]

I suspect the panel picking the names don't know Santa Cruz from Santa Claus, not that they are biased against NI or boxing, but there was probably no-one who knew the slightest thing about boxing.

Sports PERSONALITY?
Not knocking him in general but I've not noticed all that much personality from him. And I'm afraid his nickname "The Jackal" is copied from Rigondeaux who he outright ducked...
Still a real good boxer but he should shut up whining.
