Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Open To Facing a Top Featherweight at 124

[JAMES_THUNDER]

rigo can take mikey to school over the summer, make it happen

the weigh in before the marroquin fight rigo was 128 while marroquin was 134. Rigo is def too small for 126

So he will take mikey to summer school ? thats better than the schooling he gave donaire, he took him to rigo university in his bus

it's a big diff, comparable to fighters from 140 able to move to 147 easily but 154 is a diff league.

I was thinking the same thing but I'm not sure why

Yeah there are some small ww now days and like Marquez mayweather Bradley, and at 154 u got beats like Angulo and Canelo.

Whats the difference?

[CaneloMaidana]

they won't need to since rigo doesn't want to fight at 126 he wants to drain FW's and fight at a catchweight like a hoe

But let me guess Pacquiao fan? I'm assuming see your so mad at Donaire losing.

Rigondeaux is going to have to be real flexible if he wants to stay busy (thus make money) especially near term given his current promoters feelings about him.

He is going to have to take what comes his way, it sucks for him but if he can make it through he will deserve even more respect. If he is picky he is probably going to be on the shelf a lot which also sucks and the even worse outcome IMO.

Pure class, this one.

That's cause most of the top welters happen to be not natural at welter right now, and there's hardly any good natural ones. But Sergio started at 147, PWill, Canelo moved up etc. Guys like Thurman can easily make that jump also. It's harder for a guy like Cotto who was stubby at welter, but even he somehow got ranked #1 at 154.

Pac, Morales, MAB made the 122-126 jump easy. Even PDL made the jump very well.

Good stuff, I've always wondered how you know someones natural weight is.

You gotta have a sense of proportion. Pac had won belts in a record 6 divisions before asking for his first CW. Most everyone else is asking for CWs much earlier, including fan favorites like Mares, PWill, Cotto, JMM, and now Rigo.

Did you know Vic Ortiz has 0 top ten wins at a regulation weight, at 140 or 147? He's 1-1-3 against top level comp, with his only win coming at a catchweight.
