Santa Cruz and Frampton are just not very good fighters

    Is that Loma-Martinez in your avatar?

      World champions gave us a fun fight on showtime and we make threads about how terrible both are? Really?
      It's no wonder promoters don't give a damn about the hardcore fans. They always find a way to complain

        I don't know who they have fought to be world champs TBH. They avoided Rigo and both went up to 126. Loma is no longer there so it's safer but they haven't beaten anyone and I wouldn't favour them over either Valdez or Russell.

        They looked slow and with poor technique. Tactically, they weren't much better. Don't know who would pay to watch these two do another 12 round fight.

          They're good fighters but nothing special. I think they are well managed and promoted and have good fans backing them.

            Rigo needs someone to come straight at him all the time to even put up a half decent show!!! He's skilled but not a good fighter, a good fighter can put up a good fight regardless of the fighting style of his opposition!!

                Many people would pay. Way more than are willing to pay to watch Rigo fight.

                And by the way it wasn't so much that they were ducking Rigo as much as it was Rigo having promotional issues and TV networks like Showtime and HBO not approving Rigo as an opponent. Pro Boxing is prize fighting after all. Negotiations are already hard enough, why attempt to negotiate with a fighter whom HBO and Showtime have made it clear they don't want?
                Why do you think they've had to shove Rigo into PPVS his last fights?

                    You didn't see the jostling for the centre of the ring? The feints from both men?. Leo Santa Cruz fighting of the back foot = adjustment from the first fight.
                    There's different types of skills you lot are strung on a CERTAIN type of skill set. You don't appreciate the sport if you think they ain't all that because they are!!!!.
