why is Guillermo Rigondeaux rated so highly?

[MJ223]

Why would I have him on my p4p list bro?

Just asking.?.?.?

You probably cant tell but I do like Rigo..... Just not as high on him as others

[intoccabile]

You expect everyone in the world to have seen previous fights of a guy that's had 10 pro fights? Isn't he still on 10 rounders?

Sigh.. Just sigh.

10 rounders are the max you can do without a title. So this argument is just ******ed.

Second... his last 4 fights were 12 rounders.

Funny thing is Nonito has gone the distance his last three fights...

Ok...I'll quit bein' lazy...hang on...


Ok, according to boxrec Rigo was 20 when he won the WBA interim bantamweight title and it was his 7th fight.

Sugar Ray won the WBC strap at WW in his 26th fight. He was 24.

I just glanced at their records when I did the first post. Lol didn't think anybody would raise the bar on me

OoOoOk............

Rigo is a world away from p4p. He hasn't beaten anybody of note, and even if he does beat Nonito, I still wouldn't rank him p4p.

The general consensus on Rigo is of no relevance to me, fam. P4p Rankings don't mean s**t to me unless it's a cross-divisional Mega fight, which are few and far between.

I observe fighters and judge them on pedigree, level of competition, and skill. As far as match-ups are concerned, divisional rankings are there for a reason. I look at those, and speak on match-ups I think should happen based on the aforementioned indicators. Simple.

I'm no delusional fan boy or agenda-pushing troll. With that said, I'm also not a promoter, matchmaker or manager. So as a boxing fan, I want to see the best BOXERS go at it.

great defense. great counterpuncher. great power. very rare combination of skills.

2 time Olympic Gold Medalist, 2 time World Cup Gold Medalist, 2 time World Amateur Championship Gold Medalist, with almost 400 amateur wins, and winning a title in only his 7th fight. Nothing more to say!

a great amateur record does not a great pro fighter make.



i think a lot of the hype for rigo is a backlash against cash cows in general.

convoluted bscene logic.

I agree completely, but I believe that is why a pro fighter would get so much hype outside of the casual boxing fan!
