World super bantamweight champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA) and World Boxing Organization (WBO), undefeated Cuban Guillermo "The Jackal" Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs), is still hoping to get in the ring with fellow undefeated champion, of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Mexico's Leo Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOs).
While the other champions at 122-pounds are refusing to face him, he may have better luck at featherweight - where there are plenty of names like Nicholas Walters, Vasyl Lomachenko, Jhonny Gonzalez, Abner Mares and Evgeny Gradovich.
Rigondeaux is open to facing a big name at 126 - if there is a solid weight stipulation that prevents his opponent from rehydrating by more than ten pounds. Some featherweights have been known to rehydrate all the way to 140-pounds and beyond.
"I do not have any problems [with fighting any of the top featherweights]. I'm a 122-pounder, but if you put a limit where [the opponent] is unable to go beyond 136-pounds on the day of the fight - I'll fight anybody. As long as I'm getting paid, I'll fight with anyone. I never say no. I'm a boxer who knows how to solve problems when I fight," Rigondeaux said.
