Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Re-Upped with Top Rank to Pursue Donaire

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

The "Irish Cubans" have been languishing as of late. I used to get some info on them from another boxing website, but I haven't seen much news lately. I don't know what I would take to get them over here, but I get the sense they'd be better off in the U.S.

Alexei Collado will be making his US debut here pretty soon. On the Joan Guzman card but I don't think he's with Hyde.

Damn,Rigo move up in weight?Mikey garcia gonna tap dat azz.

Mikey would be a concern, no doubt. But something tells me, even if he wasn't, you'd say he'd "tap dat azz" anyway.

Excellent. Thanks for the update. I know some might disagree, but I believe the U.S. is still the best place for these guys to pursue a boxing career.

rigo is a bum...just an average needy amateur..he doesnt deserve a shot..he should start fighting proper opposition and not bums.

So donaire is not proper opposition?

They must be paying him pretty good. For him to resign with them if he doesn't fight Donaire at 122 he will chase him up to 126.

"Nishioka is the best, which is why it was my goal to fight him, but I've always been willing to fight Rigondeaux and (Abner) Mares," Donaire said. "If their names are on that contract, I'll fight them. I want the best out there, and if the people want it, let's do it." [Click Here To Read More]

There you have it. Donaire says he wants to fight the best. Unfortunately, he's not Mayweather who decides whom to fight, hires which promoter will promote the fight, etc.

To get to donaire he has to do something..fight someone legit..in his last fight he got rocked twice against a nobody..he won on decision..

The fight would bring nothing to donaire..donaire worked his way up..he beat darchynian when darchy was at his best..donaire fought good people that's why he's on the top now..now rigo hasn't done anything to deserve the shot and if donaire signs the fight there is nothing in for him..that fight wouldn't make any money..no one really knows rigo..

Now days nothing comes easy and rigo thinks he can get rich over night??

No way prove urself then step up and challenge the champ..

how did donaire prove himself before the darchinyan fight? he wasn't world champ like rigo is, he wasn't ranked #2 like rigo is, he wasn't undefeated like rigo is, he didn't beat anyone ranked like rigo has. rigo's already proved himself and he's the most deserving guy in the division, donaire's proved he's a ducking fraud.
