Promoters only spout that shit because once their man's beat his stock plummets and neither promoter wants to give up hosting the show. Groves-DeGale was a great match-up between two prospects. Cleverly-Bellew was a great match-up between two prospects. All four fighters are much closer to world level now and no closer to ever fighting again. Would you rather have NOT seen these fights?

Come on...

Frampton-Quigg is a great match-up. No silly alphabet title will make the actual contest any better. It's not like either are calling out Nonito Donaire (who would slaughter both on the same night), both camps are trying to fiddle a belt. Who cares?
I never see much point in prospects facing each other, unless it's for big money or a title of course
there is hype involved, after all it is boxing.
There is no guarantee any of them, will be a World Champion but both are pretty good you would
have to agree.!
You have to say it's good to have 2 good prospects, at domestic and World level good luck to both
fighters.
