Fair play to Frampton he's always been happy to travel, and is prepared to fight anyone, similar to Khan. I think he beats Selby at 126 and 'maybe' Santa Cruz. However, Lomachenko & Russell Jnr would both be far too strong for Carl and imo would stop him early.
Can't see GGG having any problems tonight, the number one IBF challenger Tureano Johnson pulled out with a shoulder injury. Wade is the next highest ranked contender. Golovkin is 6 wins short of beating Hopkins record of middleweight title defences, currently 20 (including one no contest)
Frampton will always take on anyone. Santa Cruz boxed Kiko Marthinez and I would be interested to see what he thinks as he has boxed both. He stated that Carl would beat Quigg and was right. I think Carl has every chance. He will move up a weight and he looked drained in his last 2 fights. So this fight might well see a more powerful Carl as he can take the fight to Santa Cruz it all depends on if Carls power can move up and KO people. Carl is lucky with the link up with Al Haymon he could finish his fighting out in the US and I fully expect him and Santa Cruz both will get really well paid.

Gonzalez is brilliant to watch, real pressure fighter with a solid defence. Fair play to Arroyo tough kid.

Doubt Wade still thinks GGG is over-rated.

He needs to fight someone real now though. I really rate him but he needs to go up a level now. He might as well have been fighting Dwayne Wade last night.

I think the move up in weight is needed. He only had a half a tank against Quigg in a fight that was very low intensity for 6 rounds. So maybe the move up does him good. Santa Cruz is beatable, although I have him as favourite over Frampton.Frampton will always take on anyone.

These mandatory fights need addressing, to many match ups with fighters who are levels apart. Conelo, Cotto, BJS, Jacob's & CEJ all in the mix at 160.
