skysports.comProbably favor Frampton slightly in this fight since he's more proven, and coming off great win over LSC. Not too many guys I would favor over Frampton, apart from Rigo and guys who are just naturally bigger than him.

What do you all think? I know what Frampton's made of. Selby passes the eye test, but I've never seen him really put to the test. I'd like to see this if Frampton wins the rematch.

I'd probably go Selby purely for the size advantages he has. Both are slick.
Don't see this being built as big as Quigg Frampton was mind. That had years of build up.

Problem with Selby is that he hasn't looked particularly good in his defences so far but he's someone who seemingly fights at the level in front of him. We may well see another side to him. I think it would be an amazing fight though, I know both are slick but I think after Frampton's fight with Quigg he's concerned about not letting the British public down again whilst Selby would know he'd have to assert himself early. Tasty stuff boiz.

Yeah think if Frampton wants to 'break out' beyond selling out Belfast as a bonafide PPV fighter he'd have to have a big fight with Selby and it be a classic. Though I think a fight a fight with Warrington would be easier and more lucrative.

Good point about Warrington, but I wonder if Frank would surrender his unbeaten record any time soon.

Be interesting to say the least. Selby struggled against Montiel who was the smaller fighter but he has shown before he can quickly switch it up. Would love to see the fight

I completely agree Selby looks slick but hasn't been properly tested. Honestly think Frampton would be too much for him if he put the pressure on him.

I give it to Frampton.

I would love to see this fight but, after the Santa Cruz win, I pick Frampton to beat anyone at featherweight. Although after a few more fights I think Valdez would make an interesting matchup with Frampton, if politically possible.

What a potentially superb fight that would be.
Frampton has to get past LSC though first

So many people writing off LSC, I'm a Frampton fan, but its 50/50
It's not. It was first time, now can't see anything other than a comprehensive Frampton win. Similar to Martinez win, now he's fought LSC he knows what to expect. LSC won't bring anything new to the table.
I couldn't agree more.
Agree, thought Frampton won the first fight clearly.
