I agree, Kiko is a strong name. He does everything Leo does but better and hits harder in my opinion. I'm not just saying this on an empty base I say this because Kiko has demonstrated his power and pressure ability against fighters with all sorts of styles. While LSC only seems to shine against come forward fighters in the likes of Mijares, Terrazas, etc.. When he fought a featherfisted technical boxer in Guevara, LSC looked a bit off. He couldn't properly cut the ring off and had a difficult time cutting the distance at times. Guevara had no power or else it would have been a long night for Leo.

Frampton can both box and ****. Although he doesn't have the best defence due to him having a tendency to drop his hands at times, he makes up for it by being able to box off the back foot. If Frampton manages to get past Kiko's relentless attacks again and gets the win, I believe he will be more prepared for a Leo clash than Leo would be for Frampton. What happens when Leo bulldozes straight ahead but gets met with a jab on his face all night, followed by a powerful left hook or even a straight right? It would be an extremely long night for him.

Now if Kiko wins I would have Leo taking that due to the fact that LSC thrives off of those type of fighters. He is among the best in that regard and his entire style consists of non stop pressure and mind numbing punch outputs. Leo beats Kiko via stoppage or Split Decision in a balls to the wall brawl.

Good post. Analyzing their styles and fights. Unlike the other guy's "wooooooow" without 0 explanation. The reason I would pick Kiko over LSC is cause I simply think Kiko hits harder and not only that but LSC looks like that guy that if he can't get you out of there then he runs out of ideas and looks pretty simple. And even tho Kiko has been stopped I don't think LSC's power would be enough to stop Kiko. Again, I'd favor Kiko but not by too much probably.

Been over this before. Frampton has never been unwilling to fight in America so you can drop that excuse. Santa Cruz was very vocal about fighting Frampton until after Frampton KO'd Cazares. Then suddenly he wanted Quigg.

Let's see who he'll be fighting

[-PBP-]

I favor Frampton over Leo. Frampton is the #1 challenger to Rigos title.

He might bring Rafael Marquez out of retirement.

Thanks bro. It would be a brutal fight and you are right, LSC might not have enough power to stop Kiko's iron chin and piston like punches from coming all night with one punch, but he might be able to grind him down eventually. If not then a Split Decision, I just can't see either fighter getting a clean UD in this one. Leo's power is a bit overrated though and Kiko has more possibilities of hurting Leo than Leo has of hurting Martinez so I'm going out on a limb by making such a bold prediction. Close fight if it does go down but it would be a treat for us brawling fans and boxing maniacs as a whole.

I still want to see Mares vs LSC, LSC vs Yamanaka, LSC vs Rigo, LSC vs Frampton/Martinez winner or vs Scott Q. LSC will give us some exciting fights, for the most part lol.

it would be nice if one of the networks invested in a 4 man tourney rather than giving us danny v salka and manny v algieiri. ANy fight involving these boxers would be something I'd love to watch.

Once again, I agree with you especially the part that Leo's power is overrated. I don't agree with Leo winning but I don't have a problem with that. A SD in his favor is very possible. He says he wants to go all the way up to 140 but I think we all know his power isn't gonna carry and with his style how is he gonna win (vs top guys) if he doesn't have the power?

There's so many ****ing fights to be made at 122 but none of these guys are fighting each other (except Kiko and Frampton). Props to Kiko tho, he's been traveling making things happen. The Romero win was great cause I thought he was one of the top guys and Kiko manhandled him. And we know what happened to Mathebula too.

What does everyone think about Scott Quigg? Does anyone think he'd beat LSC/KM/CF?

*edit* I didn't mention Rigo because he's far above the fighters mentioned.
