Rigo IMO is the most skilled fighter alive, others are clearly ducking him. 'Eyeing' Rigo does not mean people actually WANT to fight him. He's too good for his own good.

No announcement yet.
So Rigondeaux is facing another bum yet there is no discontent on here?

They'll mention his name during interviews when they know good and damn well their promoters don't want them anywhere near him because they'll get schooled.

I enjoy watching Rigo, I just dislike his arrogant fans.
1st off, he is a great boxer and had all the tools to be a great. Sadly his resume at this state and his advance age only points to an honorable mention in future discussions once he is long gone.
2nd people who say he should move up and or he is too small to do so , why doesn't he move down then? Plenty of good names and champions at 118 and seeing as he is so small at 122 already, I'm sure he would drop an extra 4 pounds with ease.
3rd regardless of how hipster yu want to be or how much your nationalistic pride blinds you, the Cuban is and will always have a boring style not fit for the masses. Get over it. You should be happy, atleast you could stay out of the norm and retain a hipster status by praising a boxer dMn near no one knows about about outside of his circle jerk of fans
4th people need to drop that "Rigo the highest paid 122 pounder, how he no bring in money doe?" That is ridiculously annoying and makes yu look like an idiot. Just because he gets paid a ridiculous amount does not mean his opponents do so as well. He is getting paid 500k to fight A****sa because Caribe Promotions slithered their way into someone else's pocket, not because the Japanese promoters thought he deserved such a payment themselves.
5th people need to drop that 1st round KO over the Thailander. That's like Flowmos riding on the Ortiz KO and saying Floyd could be just as exciting as PAC in his prime because look! He can KO early in the fight too! It's hilariously ******ed
And last but not least... His fans act like the man can't be touched. He has been droppe in more Han one occasion my friends, what does that mean? Sure he has incredible skill and technique but he can be hurt and dropped Saludos.

Would you rather be the WBA, WBO and the Ring unified champion or hold an IBF belt?.
Frampton won the IBF title (vacated by Donaire) by defeating Kiko Martinez, an opponent he had already beaten one year earlier.
There is no comparison in terms of prestige, and a Rigo fight wouldn't be for peanuts.

It's actually pretty simple to understand but since you're a Rigotard I'd suspect you fail to understand.
