There is no one in boxing right now who is so far above the rest of the pack in his division, like Rigo is at super bantam. I know Wlad looks to be untouchable at heavy but it's not a division with the depth and true world class talent that super bantam has right now. Frampton, Quigg and Cruz are all top level titlists but if you pit them against Rigo, H2H, I can't imagine Rigo being predicted AGAINST. That's just how damn good he is.
Even with Frampton shutting out a talented and hard hitting titlist who seemed to have reached his peak in the last 2-3 fights, I wouldn't give Frampton more than a 30% chance of beating Rigo. IMO Frampton beats just about everyone else in the division but Rigo is on a different planet as of now.
That's all I really wanted to say, and I'm not even a Rigo fan lol
And Donaire fought him when he was truly nobody, just a 12 fight beltholder. Yet he get intense hate and constant accusations of ducking.
Rigo brings enough money for the weight class. He just doesn't bring enough for the schooling, and everyone's going to want insane paydays to lose their belts.
Well the problem with this ERA of boxing...Is that this ERA doesn't have many truly SKILLED BOXERS and the ones who are Skilled it is no coincidence that most of them sit at the top of most P4P List and I think Rigondeaux no question is one of those guys
Yes because their so skilled and technical, yes they're considered "BORING" to the average Boxing Fan(s) today.
As for this "DRAW" Excuses, that is laughable especially for Frampton, so you mean to tell me that your country wouldn't come out and see you against the best in the division and one of the best P4P fighters in the WORLD...LIES it is all fuking Lies and it is a flat out submission from His Promoter and his Fans that they KNOW their guy can't beat Rigondeaux and is fully content with being #2.
Rigondeaux will have no problem traveling I am sure, I think he would take PRIDE in traveling and embarrassing him in front of his own crowd like he did Willie Casey
What will ultimately happen is that they will ALL leaving 122 and move up without fighting Rigondeaux
well floyd hasn't fought anyone as good as donaire in his entire career also he was knocked down by zab judah, and rocked by corley and shot mosley. he's not untouchable.
Yeah I guess floyd has been caught a few times, but he has fought a hell of a lot of people. I'm not sure Donaire is better than anyone floyd has faced though. I haven't seen much of his career but he really struggled against darchinyan in their rematch, so I wasn't hugely impressed.
It would be a shame if Rigo missed out on big fights because guys like frampton are afraid to lose though.
Rigo schools LSC.
Paulie said in the LSC-Seda fight that a high volume fighter struggles against a boxer, and Rigo is one of the best pure boxers in the sport right now.
well donaire knocked him down remember so he's not quite as untouchable as floyd.
I can't believe Frampton is ducking him though. I would have thought he would have had a bit more integrity than that. So much for the best fighting the best. *sigh

I don't think 122 is even that deep right now. It was deep a couple of years ago, but then Rigo arrived and everyone scampered.
