    1. He'll drop the WBA belt to avoid Rigo - he knows he loses and would lose both belts.
    2. He'll talk about Santa Cruz and going up in weight pretending it's an option, but he knows he would have to give up both titles to do it.
    3. ditto Selby and Selby would embarrass him.
    4. He'll fight his IBF Mandatory against Shingo Wake (?) and then ridicule the WBA saying it's a bullshit body and he never wanted the belt anyway.
    Yeah, he'll talk till the cows come home , but we all know what will happen.
    And that’s the real problem isn’t it? How obvious and normal they have become. He knew he'd be dropping it before he fought for it and made a big deal of unification at the same time with the intent of never defending it. The WBA is the one he will most likely drop for sure especially if a Santa Cruz fight is the payout. Cruz has the same Orgs title so he saves face. Of course the IBF most likely goes also unless he plans to come back down. The Orgs are as responsible as anyone because they don’t want unification.

    Maybe Selby beats him and maybe not but nobody should expect Frampton to even entertain that now. He's the cash cow. That’s a huge step back. That’s the equivalent of Hatton fighting Witter or Calzaghe stepping back to fight Froch.

    He may drop the WBA first and decide to fight his jet lagged mandatory and that’s his right. That would actually be ok but for me but he ought to fight Rigo. People question the legacy of guys like Duran but he would have fought Rigo long ago. "To be the best you have to fight the best" is more than just a quote or paraphrase at least to me. Sound economics does not make for sound pugilism practises. It may be the adopted accepted norm but not for me as an individual. The fact that Quigg and Carl could get it done keeps my hope alive as odd a fight as it was in the end.

    I don't see how he could beat Rigo unless the guy gets old overnight or something, highly doubt that happens as well. Has to be promising that he is fighting in the UK soon though?

    I actually have this ridiculous fucking notion that Jazza might somehow pull something huge out the bag and get the win somehow.
    I know it's completely illogical and I know it won't happen, something just tells me that Rigo may, as you say, get old overnight .

    I put money on Dickens to win. First bet for years. Don't even have an account, my brother put the money on and got 20/1. Rigo is 1/100.

    Tbf, at 20/1 in a 2 horse race, it's worth doing , just to give you a bit of interest in the fight.
