If Santa Cruz was interested in fighting the best he wouldn't be fighting someone ranked #92 next.

This.

Good fighter, cardboard record.

Yay for the Mexican Peter Quillin (I'd love for Shinusuke Yamanaka to move up, get made his mandatory & then Teiken wins the purse bid & drags him over to Tokyo, thus forcing his manager to brick it & make him vacate his title).

It'll be "LSC to try to achieve his dream of becoming 3 weight world champion!!!"

I'll be happy with any combination of Santa Cruz, Frampton, and Rigondeaux. Three tremendous fighters. Avalos and Quigg should be in the mix too.

Kid Galahad will be in the mix soon and I also think Martinez will bounce back. There are definitely some very good fights to be made at the weight, let's hope we see some soon :box:

Cruz has said recently he wants either one. Of course he blames his team for his next opponent. We will find out if he really wants them next or is just the name drop king.

This

Scott Quiggs promoter wanted the fight too and was even keen for Scott to fight him this weekend on the undercard for Floyd Maidana.

Instead Leo is fighting a poor opponent and Scott on the same night is fighting a bantamweight who got destroyed by WBC champ Yamanaka only a few months ago.

Exactly what is wrong with boxing IMO

I think Frampton would KO Cruz.

We can complain about Leo's opposition, and he certainly deserves it with his upcoming fight, but Quigg's opposition makes Santa Cruz' look like HOFers. It's amazing Quigg has held a belt for almost two years and has fought such poor opposition. And now he fighting a ridiculously overmatched bantamweight who just got knocked out because his previous opponent, another unheralded bantamweight, pulled put with a hamstring pull. How the fvck, even on short notice, can anyone justify Quigg's' latest opponent? I called bvllshvte on the notion Santa Cruz is somehow ducking Quigg.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing either one fight Kiko if they aren't going to fight Frampton or Rigo. Kiko is more than willing to come to their home town and give them a fight

This. A promoter whose fighter consistently fights crap opposition talking big should always be discounted.
