IBF super bantamweight Carl Frampton (19-0, 13KOs) openly admits that Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10KOs), the WBA/WBO champion, is the best fighter of the 122-pound division. Both fighters have tried, without success, to get WBC champion Leo Santa Cruz in the ring.
On February 28th, Frampton is going to defend his title against mandatory challenger Chris Avalos at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, North Ireland. If he comes out on top, Frampton is hoping to face his domestic rival Scott Quigg in the summer. Beyond Quigg, Frampton wants to fight Rigondeaux at the end of the year.
"Rigondeaux is the best in the division and if I want to prove that I am the best in the division - which I believe I am - then I'm going to need to beat him. I want to fight Rigondeaux. People rightfully see him as the best super bantamweight in the world. Just look at what he's done as an amateur and look at what he's done as a professional," Frampton told reporter Nick Parkinson

Frampton vs Avalos next Saturday, Frampton vs Quigg in the summer, and then Frampton vs Rigo in November/December?
Let's get it then
At least somebody at 122 has some heart other than Donaire and Rigo
