Boxers like Rigondeaux is why boxing is dead

Other than Floyd, who else is like Rigo?

Oh pipe down There are plenty of fun fighters and fights. Last night both the Ortiz and Buatsi fights were fan friendly. A dull fight now and again is normal in boxing. Facts... It's not that serious. Like someone said... Rigo is dead to boxing fans. Just leave it at that and move on.. Dude acting like he lost money on the fight..lol

I can appreciate both type of fights(skills based and brawls) unlike 1-dimensional fans who only want a fight to go a certain way. I laugh at 1-dimensional casuals who try and dictate to boxers on how they should fight. Try harder again. you are so pure that you should you back to the core/pure boxing in the early days of boxing. these guys like Rigo would have been disqualified or it would have been no contest. again, boxing is on steep decline because of rule changes which caters to soft generation.

I like "pure" boxers. I also like Nigel Benn. If boxing is dead, it's not because Rigo happened put on a boring fight but because the top guys fight too infrequently to create interest, not to mention they tend to find reasons not to fight each other. and when they fight each other, they try to avoid each other in the ring like corona virus. Again, boxing is dying because when the top profile fights are made, they stink. The last high profile fight that lived up to the expection was the Pacquiao vs JMM 4.

coz you think you know boxing coz u like "pure" boxers but majority of people who are boxing fans actually are laughing at your so called boxing knowledge.

If u mad at Rigo for "running" be also mad at the opponent for not cutting the ring and setting traps. another "purist" who is just bubbling textbook words like "cut the ring off. set traps" do you even know what you are talking about? you can cut the ring off if the other guy fights squarely and is moving laterally or backwards. you cannot cut the ring off if the guy is running with his back. you are one casual fan who has not even been in a fight. Just bubbling textbook words.

No one is making the networks put him on TV. if the networks took a pass on guys that fought in that style, the fighters would change it up. HBO did that to Wlad because his fights were too safety-first and boring. And it was the right decision. I’d like to see it employed across the industry.

Boxing is not dead, Rigo is dead to boxing fans. Have you seen Warren in the opener of that same card? Have you ever seen William Zepeda or Gervonta Davis? There's more to come. Boxing will never die.

Rigondeaux barely fights and when he does, outside of that one fight he should've definitely loss if his opponent had any power, people complain. I mean surely we've seen enough of this forty year old we know he's not going to sit and trade. He'll move and only throw shots he knows are effective, will not be receiving a counter or punch back or if it scores points. He's not going to waste ounces even to his detriment which makes it boring to bloodsport fans because they signed up for violence. But him and Colbert are the same both boring outside the ring and seemingly cry when asked about their styles.

Can someone please explain to me what "Boxing is dead" means? I don't understand this.

Mayweather - Super-skilled, majestic, counter puncher, that dominates on the front foot when needed. Rigo, flash with no substance, track runner. Nash out.

Most black fighters run.

i doubt floyd- rigo would land more than 10 punches in 12 rds.. at round 5 people will slowly leave the arena and just sleep in their rooms..

DAMN!! Floyd still gets an honourable mention in post...Till this day? Aah doe.. Didn't you get the telegram? Runnin' is huge in this thread. :rolleyes:

Rigo vs Floyd will turn the stadium to a hotel Sleeper fight. Cures insomnia in no time. DAMN!! Floyd still gets an honourable mention in post...Till this day?

Anyone watched that snoozefest? The crowd booed the hell outta him all night. RiGAYdeaux could have made it interesting if he made Casimero paid for wild shots, but no, he would rather ran a marathon. I hope he never headlines a main event anymore. I've seen more entertaining street fights in the inland empire. Lucky for me I have 2 TV’s in my basement. So when the Rigo fight got a bit mundane, we just watched the Franco/Maloney fight. Wasnt even a huge crowd but man did they sound loud booing Rigo.

Looks like I have struck a nerve. Stay mad. Go watch fights. Don't just pretend you do. Poser.

Posts like these expose posers who pretend liking guys like rigo makes them somehow more knowledgeable. Bet you didn't even watch that boring ass crap. Bet you the ones complaining actually did. Looks like I have struck a nerve. Stay mad.
