Where Do You Place Rigondeaux Now?

moreno has 0 fights at 122
mares has 1 fight at 122 against morel

why would they be above rigo right now?

rigo has beaten 2 top 10 fighters(#2 #6), doesn't sound that good until...

vasquez beat 0 top 10 fighters
matheluba beat 1 top 10(#5)
even the greatest of all time nishioka only beat 2 top 10 fighters(#8, #10)

Ramos was ranked #2 when Rigo beat him? People simply don't think much of Rico, so that victory gets overlooked a lot.

Nonito Donaire is clearly the top dog at 122 now. Where do you guys place Guillermo Rigondeaux?

Id actually say Guillermo Rigondeaux is top dog at 122.

as an up incomer that got an easy title. Skillful but yet to be tested! With 11 wins hard to put him in a top ten for the fact his opponents are c class fighters as they are to be when building up ones record. We will just have to see what comes of him in the future. I wont and refuse to ride his nuts just because he had a good amateur background

Your idols master Freddie Roach called Rigondeaux the best fighter he has ever trained.

Wouldnt Rigo need to beat the #3 and #4 122lbers in order to be considered #2? What am I missing here?

You are missing that Rigo already beat #2.

High praise indeed. Donaire just took out the guy many people considered #1. Nonito also boasts the more impressive overall resume. I want to see Rigo at the very top. I just don't think his achievements support it.

Not sure, he is like Bute to me. He has not faced anyone of note to even say he can take a shot. As you go up, guys are faster, have better timing, more durable and more powerful. Rigo does need to face some top guys to see where he is at.

Rigo is fast, powerful and has good reflexes, but there a big difference on what you can do with the best in the division to OK fighters. Rigo hasn't got his chin checked by someone like Donaire who clearly has power.

#2 is fair. Rigo passes the eye test but I want to see a step up in competition in his next 2-3 fights. The time is now.

I didn't consider Nishioka a threat based on his age, his last performances, and the long layoff. I was proven right.
