Either fighter would fight Santa Cruz at the drop of a hat.Quote:

The last time either of them faced a domestic British or Irish fighter was 2012.
Nice try.
I meant domestic fights in terms of where the fight is held, in their back yard, or Europe- most likely Germany. I must have had the wrong impression of domestic, my bad.Quote:

Germany?
But it is. If they were going to get big seven figure pay days for fighting him, they would be calling him out every hour of every day.Quote:

I am with those who suggest they build up a British show down, perhaps in the summer of 2016, after both make some easy-ish money showcasing their talents against opposition they should beat comfortably.
Britkid should be shot too.
"Wait until they get bigger" is nothing but bullshit promoters spout when they are avoiding making a fight. How many "wait until they get bigger" fights actually worked out?
This isn't a fight between a couple of prospects.
They both have "world" titles. They are both in their prime. They are both unbeaten. They are both independently top 4 ranked by any publication that matters. They both already have a fanbase. They are both being called out by the other big names around the weight. It's a perfect match-up. They will make big money, it will sell out an arena easily.
But, hold on, you guys would rather watch them have a bunch of roll over jobs. Old fogey promoter spiel.
It can work, look how big a Hagler/Leonard was because we had to wait...Quote:

Exactly. Strike while the iron's hot. Waiting rarely works.Quote:

Germany indeed!
What the hell have either got to do with Germany?
We are not 'European'! Hardly anyone in Europe is 'European'.
lololol... what do you mean by that??Quote:

That the concept of being a 'European' is alien to most people that live in Europe.
We identify by our country, not our continent.
Never ever have I heard anyone describe themselves as 'European'. It just doesn't happen.
Oh. Ok. I knew that, having lived in Europe for a while. But to the rest of the world, and for easy comparisons, European is anyone West of France to Russia.Quote:

Al Haymon turned down the Quigg fight on the Mayweather undercard. Quigg was willing to go to US to unify against LSC but instead he fought a nobody. Thats Quiggs fault? Both would happily fight LSC. Frampton beats him easy and Id say Quigg is a pickem fight. Rigo is the man in the div. Apart from that there is noone miles ahead of Quigg and Frampton. Kid Galahad, Jazza Dickens,Gamal Yafai make for a top class domestic division at the momentQuote:
