Rigo has a choice to make. He can take his time at 122 and wait for the big fights to present themselves in the natural course of things (which could be years away and in between), or he has to take some chances to get the big paydays now. When I say take chances I mean moving up to 126 or fighting in a more crowd pleasing (and ultimately vulnerable) way.

Nobody will fight Rigondo at a catchweight. There's no money in it. In order to make demands like that you gotta be the cash cow.

Rigondo can move up and still fight in a boring style. All he needs to do is tell Arum to promote his fights like this: If anyone can tKO/KO/KTFO Rigondo, they'll get a big cash bonus in addition to their purse. That way Rigondo can continue to be boring, his opponents will be head-hunting, and the fans will watch to see if anyone will be able to catch Rigondo.

Don't worry man, people just like repeating what they read around here.

"Amateurs don't mean ****"
"Pros is a whole different ball game"

Blah blah

I think he should go to 126 and fight a mid-tier fighter to see how he feels with the extra weight and than go from there. IMO this would be the best thing. If he doesn't feel comfortable move back down and keep ruling 122.

i wish we can tell which posters are backing him up on this and at the same time had bashed pac in his cw fights. pac first cw fight was 6 divisions above his first fight while rigo had only moved up once and now asking for one right away? lol.

rigo's a very skilled boxer and i think he can box the ears off most of the 126 lbers. is he afraid of the punches in the higher weight class? there lies difference in greatness and wanting to be great.
