    You have to be kiddin right? You really think Tank or Mayweather and Ellerbe lose any sleep over Frampton? It's not that Carl isn't skilled (although he's past prime) but he is just way too small for Tank. Tank at 130 is like Spence at 147 - very skilled and large for the weight. Frampton has small reach and height even at FW so he's just on a hiding to nothing at 130.

      That's not considered a world title - even by the wba standards - surely?! There's only WBA Super and wba "regular" considered "world" titles?

        Davis walks right through frampton and Kos him in less than 6rds imo

          of course he does given what we've seen until now!! Yeah, Davis hasn't fought elite opposition but the eyes don't lie. It was the same deal with Golovkin, less than great opponents but he bulldozed them all in a way none of the others at 160 at the time were doing.

          If LSC moves up to 130 to fight Tank I'd still be favoring Tank for the size and LSC is bigger than Frampton.

          I want to see Berchelt-Davis, I can't see Farmer doing much, he's just making noise for a payday.

          This may sound off but I'd be into an Inoue-Frampton fight. The monster ko's Donaire and then will be looking for new challenges. Those in the know say his frame will fill out and he might even make it up to 130 eventually and I could see him jumping right past 122.

              My bad, was referring to Warrington. Nah Framton to small at that weight, agree. Lets see if tank actually fights Farmer? That's not even that big a fight but they will try to act like it is. Well see who he fights next
