They say Rigo is a small 122 fighter and could still make 118 and Roman, I think, is having trouble making 112 and is moving up to 115 soon....imagine this fight at 118 in a year or year and a half or so...
Who wins?
Rigs has no body fat to lose so the thought of him moving down isn't realistic. He's a really small guy but I do wish they were closer in weight. That fight is a great style contrast.
All those guys you mentioned he could have fought yesterday instead he fights Vitoria
And by exposed I mean once steps up like lomachenko Vs salido
Viloria is a two division world champion and has been unified champion in the past. Besides Donaire, who in Rigo's resume is better than that?
Chocolatito is chilling. What is Rigo doing?
Why didn't your boy Rigo accept to fight Loma, I thought it was supposed to be an easy fight. He got called on his BS.
If he's moving up, he's moving up to 115, not 118. Roman will probably stay at 115 for a few years (like 3). Guess why? Because he has fights! He's going to have a busy schedule so many fights lined up for him.
Meanwhile, who knows Rigo is going to do.
Roman has no worries.
Funny thing is that Roman has to get "exposed" in what would be his 5th weight class. If he's as bad as you haters say, then why doesn't he lose to any random bums now?

Roman said he's moving up soon so we can do it at 118. Rigo goes down to 118 and exposes and outboxes roman EASY

Here's an idea, how about Rigo goes down instead? According to everyone he's so small he could easily make 112 or 115. Roman isn't struggling, he has a lot of fights left at 112 and 115. Estrada, Ruenroeng, Nietes, Cuadras, Tete and Inoue to name a few. Rigo is the one struggling to get fights, if he seriously wanted it, then he should move down.

Rigo, the guy who gets slapped around the ring and dropped against D level fighters?
He has some very good skills but is a knockout waiting to happen. He has barely fought anyone in the top 30 and caught Donaire on the slide. Gonzalez would wreck biscuit chin if they met halfway.
As good as some of Rigo's skills are, he has some glaring defensive holes. A guy as precise, accurate sand intelligent as Gonzalez would exploit it.
No, you will never see that fight. Both boxers are fighting at their perfect weight and they are both stars. They won't change weight classes just to accommodate another boxer or give fans a fight they want to see. This fight will have to remain a fantasy fight just like GGG vs Ward. Rigo, Gonzalez, Ward and GGG all have plenty of good fighters to fight in their own weight class without moving up or down even one pound.
yea rigo most likely wins.
but i don't think its so simple. Roman can fight like crazy on the inside.
Rigo is getting up in age, he could beat Rigo, maybe.
But, yea rigo would be very very tough for anyone to beat
Doubt we'll ever see this fight... even if Choco moves up in weight...Easy win for Rigo even if it did ever happen...
LOL @ HBO making Choco out to be the #1 P4P right now though... HBO has officially gone off the deep end with their stupid in-house rankings and a commentary team that does its best to ruin each fight with biased analysis... Lampley has become a vindictive menace... What's the point of having the best production(HBO) if your commentary team sounds like rehearsed advertising for the fighter that's supposed to win.
I've said it before and I will say it again, I think Roman caps off at 115 at an elite level. His size and style aren't fit against bigger, stronger men in the higher weight divisions. Hell, at 115 you have a massive Tete, whom personally I believe can beat Roman due to size and skill.
Also, Roman gets tagged too much by average fighters and although he can cut off the ring efficiently, his combinations slow down when his opponents utilize lateral movements. He can also be hurt, and Rigondeaux is the full package in terms of skill, power and technique. I think Roman has the style to trouble or even beat Rigo, but not the size.
Rigondeaux UD.
3-4 years is only like 3-4 fights for Rigo lol... The guy never fights it seems.
You're right though, Gonzalez has a rematch with Estrada and a possibly Inoue(sp) fight looming next year
Unfortunately that's exactly right. 3-4 years from now he'll be 38-39 and 18/19-0. It's really bad in his case because you just know that one time he'll take a long time off and when he comes back, Father Time will have caught up with him and his best will be gone!
LMFAO at people wanting guys to "Go Down" or "Go Up" weight as if it is really that easy :nonono:
At least be fuking REALISTIC...Gonzalez is too fuking small
Who the hell said rigo can fight at 112? You might have seen someone say it but "rigo fans" certainly never did lol. He could probably make 118. Nobody's even saying Roman HAS to move up. It's just a dream fight
Several of his fans. You could pretend they didn't, because they can actually be called on their BS now. You guys like calling out other fighters for what their fans say, but once it's a fighter you like, people seem to get extremely hurt.
That dream fight could happen in 3 years at the minimum. Chocolatito still has things to do. He has no worries.
I don't think Gonzalez, as great as he is, would do much damage at 118 against a sniper like Rigo. Viloria tagged him and even had him stop the onslaught for a bit with a body shot. If that was Rigo throwing, it'd be a lot more pain being administered towards my boy Roman.
He should stick to where he's at. Maybe test 115 and go from there. Meeting Rigo at 118 might be a little too much for him
Wasn't it you fans the ones that were saying that Rigo could easily make 112 or 115? That was to make Rigo look better wasn't it? Now that people can call others on their BS, they don't know how to respond. "Rigo's natural weight is 112/115 doe, he's already fighting at a higher weight class than he needs to."
Chocolatito doesn't have to move up to 118. He has a lot of opponents to choose from at 112 and 115. He's set for 2.5-3 years. So why doesn't Rigo move down instead? What's the problem, because according to everyone he could easily make 115. Now all of the sudden he can't, make up your minds.
Chocolatito doesn't have to move up for him, that's the truth.
