I know that was years ago but he's only lost one close fight to shimizu and have been on a winning streak since then..
Cazares is a switch hitter and he's capable of giving frampton some new looks.. he may not have carried his power up to the higher weights but the guy has a lot of experience. I actually think he's frampton's toughest opponent to date.
I disagree with the 2 bolded points. #1 Calderon won that fight. #2 Kiko Martinez is a much tougher opponent at 122lbs.
I also disagree with what people are saying about it being a nothing fight, he's fighting a final elimanator for a title. I would assume he turned down the Quigg fight as my guess is that Hearn hit him with a low ball offer and he's actually making more money to fight Cazares in Belfast. It's funny, 9 months ago when he beat Martinez Hearn told us that Frampton was the A-Side and Quigg had to realise that. Then Frampton goes his own way and Quigg signs with Hearn and now Quigg is the A-Side with a World Title to his name. What a difference a year makes.
I agree with #1. Calderon won that fight. It was very close & Cazares had a huge weight advantage 
Disagree with #2. I think Cazares is a tougher opponent than Martinez
