Out of all fighters between the weight class of strawweight all the way up to Super featherweight, Only one boxer is truly elite. He is a Super Bantamweight and his name is Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Rigo is in the mythical talk , nothing more.
Real champions without any competition at their weight
Move up and make money vs top competition.
Why not rigo? Cause he cant. Stay safe at 122 rigo,
Where there is no quality competition.
he's without a doubt the best fighter p4p below 140-147 lbs, but he'd get absolutely killed @130.
if riondeaux could move up he would. he could fight at bantamweight. he's tiny.
Lmao , so now broner is elite at 147 and so is alexander for beating maidana ??
Rigo cant and wont go to 126.. Just cause he beat donaire doesnt mean he could beat
Garcia, salido, santa cruz , vasquez , abril, anyone at 140.
Guy is not chasing money above 122 cause he cant.
. Stop acting like beating donaire with no game plan make him this almighty beast. He wont fight above 122 , yet there are fights to be made.
Dont hate on ward or GGG or sergio for not moving up and give rigo a pass.
P4p is a myth .
The boring boxer beats Donaire and all of a sudden he's the greatest. These are the same clowns who kept saying Donaire is a hypejob. The survivalist fighter beats the hypejob and the boring boxer is now the greatest. Makes me puke.
:unitedsta
I don't understand why they keep trying to have it both ways. :lol1:
at 130 mikey garcia kos him
You realize you want to pit him the ring with a big dude who no longer can make 126 and goes to the Garcia school of weight draining big guys in small divisions?
Rigo is a proper 118-122, while Mikey can probably go up to 140.
So, skill by skill, its still Rigo>>Mikey until Mikey beats someone as good as Donaire with such conviction.
No, head to head? Mikey is huge next Rigo.
Combined : 5 weight classes urango kotelnik maidana winter mathysse ponce de Leon demarco litza Paulie etc
Why are you combining them? and half of those were robberies. As of now, Broner and Alexander are not elite fighters.

nah, more like 105 to 147. Aint noone at lightweight that messing with Rigo man. He's nice with them hands. Who's elite at lightweight or junior welterweight? only elite fighters at welterweight is broner, money and maybe alexander.
Yes, Broner and Alexander are elite lol.
P4P like the poster above me said Mikey Garcia would give him a lot of trouble. Also Roman "El Chocolatito" Gonzalez is an incredible 108 champ. As well as Juan Francisco "El Gallito" Estrada at 112. There's so much talent below 122 that its really hard say who would rule with an iron fist. In fact, lower weights have some of the most entertaining and dramatic wars, but they are so easily overlooked by the general public.
This right here. Still waiting for Rigo to face a solid pressure fighter

Nope. Rigo cant make 118
And he wont fight at 126 or 130 .
He is sandwiching himself. In at 122.
His skill p4p are nice but he isnt a p4p fighter in the sense of moving up.
He cant .
So your saying he looks better. Because you have to actually
Beat fighters to better then them.
Rigo is just a one division champion
you dont know what p4p means, dude. he doesnt need to move up to be p4p, its one way to prove yourself but not the only way.
marvin hagler, carlos monzon, willie pep and benny leonard were all one division champions. you telling me they werent top fighters p4p? what a joke..

What does that mean.." Just a one division champion"?
Isn't that what boxing is supposed to be all about one true champion for each division.
Jumping around divisions is only about chasing money by fighting the guy with most celebrity not the worthy contenders. Promoters not doing business with each other is the other reason.
Other than the HW division no one knows who's really the best because of this and it makes boxing look like a joke.
Look at tennis, another one on one sport, everyone knows who's best because they all have to compete against each other. Pro boxing not so much.
Pro boxing is entertainment only with lip service to being a credible sport. P4P talk only exists in people's opinions and is therefore whole load of entrenched views, utter ****e and folly to discuss or believe in.
Rigo destroys anybody south of 130 and maybe beyond but why should he have to move up? Is the guy really being punished for being that good?!
Leo Santa Cruz, Frampton, Quigg - Still some interesting fights at 122 but people just aren't interested because they know that Rigondeaux obliterates all of them with ease.
Makes me laugh in a way how many was picking Donaire to starch him and saying he was a chinny hypejob with only 11 pro fights and now they're saying he is boring and should move up.
If he goes to 126 what is the next excuse? Because there sure as hell isn't anybody there touching him.
