Just to chime in that Quigg too is a fantastic talent. I’m 50-50 on them.
I really rate Frampton myself. I think he's shown an ability to box very well off the front foot aswell and on the back foot which is rare! He's got good speed, power, good chin, etc. He seems to have all the assets needed. Regarding Quigg, I do think he's a good fighter and one of the best in the division but I'd favour Frampton over him. The only negative regarding Quigg for me is the fact his trainer is Joe Gallagher who i'm not the biggest fan of.

Rigo is a beast, a top 5 pound-for-pound beast too for my money. Not many, if any will beat him before he retires.
I think you have it spot on there mate he will catch Quigg to cleanly from angles and hurt him.
Santa Cruz I think is a little bit similar to Quigg but bigger and stronger hav more resistance
To carls power I see framton out boxing him for 8 or 9 rounds slipping inside 3s and 4s back out again
Then tiring that's when I expect Santa Cruz to come on strong can't see him knocking Carl out but he will trouble him quite a bit I'd say. Rigo on the other hand is a different kettle of fish I think he would out box any1 at any weight at the moment may weather included
Rigo is very special. It's shame he got a relatively late start to the pro game and also he's at the weight class he is and not being the biggest guy in terms of having the ability to move up to higher weight divisions. Very special talent though. Him and Floyd would of been an amazing chess match type fight in a dream type scenario. Admittedly it probably would of been boring as hell to watch though lol.
Not for me mate I like chess :TU: I imagine he will do feather weight soon enough.
I'd say there eyeing a fight with framton in Ireland before that though. If framton beats Santa Cruz
That's the biggest fight in the division and an easy one to make Gary Hyde being his manager and that

To be fair mate i'm a fan of the sweet science myself vs the brawling styles. Most arent though unfortunately.

I agree Quigg is very good maybe I judge him to much from his fight with the Cuban
I think it showed he can be out boxed fairly easily possibly because his lack of amature
Experiance he puts his combos together very well though and has good shot selection
