Comments Thread For: Frampton's Trainer: Carl is Not Ready For Rigondeaux

[kiaba360]

There is no better option than fighting the lineal champ. What relatively big money fight is there to be made at 122, now that Donaire is gone? There's nothing left but to try and beat Rigo...and good luck with that.

Frampton/Quigg could probably make good money fighting each other, and not to mention the higher chance of getting the W. I think contenders are gonna prefer to go after each other and hope that Rigo loses or age catches up to him.

Instead of talking about if he is ready or not, they should test the kid with guys like Oquendo, Kennedy, Martin, just to see if he is not only good at a domestic or Europe level. Too many kids in boxing soft because they dont go through the tough fight when they should.

Rigo seems to be undisputed at his only 12 pro fight, just amazing.

okay not ready for Rigo? but the question is who is? Rigo is goddamn phenomenon!!!

Okay, then what? There just aren't many options to make good money at 122 outside of fighting the champ. But let's assume you're right; Rigo can just continue to outclass every sub-par contender they put in front of him, mostly by KO.

these guys are young they are going to fight each other and hope that by then rigo is 36 or gone from the division

Fair comment but he'll never be ready for Rigo. Makes no sense for Carl anyway he could fight Quigg in a big domestic showdown for much more money which is probably a winnable fight for him.

An Rigo can sit ringside if he wished then they could build up a match for him or Rigo could fight in a co-main event on the same card

Gary Hyde is Rigo's manager and he's British so he know people over there. He took Rigo over there to fight William Casey even and Rigo finished him in round 1. Rigo can knockout any bantamweight in in the world if he wants to; Donaire was just too big and talented

Quigg-Frampton winner vs Rigo.

Rigo went to Ireland and blasted Casey, bring him to the UK to blast out whoever wins that fight. It will be a good win, it will make him good money and it will be a sold out arena...he would also increase his fanbase with another top performance.

I would be there no doubt.

^^ I agree and if any top bantamweight or super bantamweight wants to get an HBO paycheck then a fight with Rigo comes at a price: Quigg, Frampton, Moreno, Santa Cruz or Darchinyian just have to roll the dice. That is the modus operandi of HBO - make tv freindly fights with interesting characters.

Rigo honestly can knock out all the aformentioned opponents and any one else you could put against him at 122lbs and that makes for high-quality cable television. HBO will probably get in his ear that with several more stoppages like Teon Kennedy that he would earn big $$$ just for fighting frequently and fiercely against whomever they pre-qualified as a suitable opponent. With two belts, rigo doesn't have to chase anyone, because there is NO ONE who can earn six figures down there at 122lbs - just stay busy knocking out mandatory contenders and HBO recommended opponents and the best of the division will line up for the chance to fight on HBO and earn big $$$.
