    Josh Warrington vs Leo Santa Cruz would be entertaining

    Both are guys that throw non-stop punches. With LSC having more venom in his obviously.

    I want LSC vs Russell and Warrington vs Valdez, then winner against winner.

          It would be good.

          Warrington his improved a lot. He's relentless with his workrate but also learned to be clever with it at the same time.

            Any of the 126 lb champions facing one another are excellent matchups

              People gotta stop underestimating Warrington now.

              He just beat Selby and Frampton back to back CLEARLY. He is world class. His angles are great, his engine is amazing, Power underrated and he fights like a man possessed. It's going to take someone special to beat this man.

                A mix and match between the belt holders would be good.

                  Warrington has indeed been underrated, he looks a force to be reckoned with right now.

                  BUT...and this is a BIG but, if ever I've seen someone who looks incredibly suspect from Peds it's Warrington. With Selby I wasn't sure but I put it down to Selby maybe being tight at the weight and he also had been buzzed up a little in previous fights, but Frampton?...His chin is battle tested. The only time I've really seen him visibly shook up was against Donaire. Even against Gonzales they were flash knockdowns.

                  How does a guy who has been in with 70-80% ko ratio guys all of a sudden start getting buzzed up and nearly stopped by a 20% KO guy. It's not like Warrington was matched extremely tough coming through the ranks either, it was a normal trajectory and all of a sudden the guy is like a prime fw Margarito.

                  I'm not coming out and saying flat out this guy is cheating, and you can argue that Frampton was over the hill, weight drained, and a combination of other things but Josh looks really suspect to me.

                    Interesting observations.

                    Let's see if Warrington gets VADA tested at some point and if that makes him any less effective.
