Comments Thread For: Carl Frampton: Lee Selby Wasted Our Time in Negotiations

[Edward90]

Although I do think LSC should have honored the idea of a trilogy and went to Belfast, I hear that there may be issues with his entire team being able to re-enter the US. That sucks, but what are you going to do? He shouldn't have pretended he could make the trilogy happen. With that being said, I have limited sympathy for Frampton. He strung Rigo along and claimed he would fight him. Then, he shamelessly ducked him and went up to 126. It is what it is...

I keep saying it about Selby, he talks a good game but he doesn't really want it with Frampton, LSC or Russell Jr. I found out all I needed to know about Selby when he and Russell Jr. interviewed on Showetime and Russell Jr. put him on the spot.

I still think a trilogy with LSC will happen.
LSC just wants that Mares fight first. He knows the z Frampton fight will be there in the future.

Frampton should be fighting Gary Russell Jr.! I know it won't happen in July, but it should happen this year! I have a feeling that Carl will be fighting a B level guy.

Gary Russell WASTES EVERYONE'S time even more. He just did his annual retirement fight like 20 days ago. Einstein when was the last time Russell fought more than 1 fight a year???

So LSC has been infected with the american illness of not fighting the best unless everything is in their favour. Oh well, Frampton is the superior financial commodity.

??? Leo is #1 at FW. Frampton #2. And Mares #3. God damn this site is full of DUMB ***S!!!!

Carl Frampton, you wasted anybody caring about you by not fighting Rigondeaux.

You forgot to mention Linares.

I was responding to a comment which implied that "American" fighters won't travel abroad for big fights.

In 2014. I don't blame him for the last fight, because his opponent (Escandon) got injured. He's still the WBC champ, called out Selby to his face, has been calling for LSC for at least a year. So whether it's Frampton, LSC, or Mares, let's get this party started! By the way, Frampton is WBC #1 contender, so the fight should happen this year!

I understand that. My bad, I was just barely waking up when I posted that. Lol

And yet Leo just fought the 2nd best guy back2back and now a top #5 boxer while Russel fights who again??? Im with you on Russell is good but he needs to do more than just talk.
