Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Says No Intention of Pursuing Mares at 126

[ИATAS]

If Rigondeaux wants to stay at 122 that's his decision and people should respect that.

Mares dodged a bullet.

Smart move by Rigo avoiding a loss. Mares will beat him.

But if he's as good as people say he is, wouldn't he be able to make the jump?

yea he could but why?he said he feels more comfortable at 122 so why take that away?who is looked at as the better fighter in and or around that wait calss?rigo so if any one wants to fight him they should make the sacrafice

[Weebler I]

Absolutely, but he doesn't have to. There's nothing wrong with staying at the weight division he feels most comfortable at. He just unified, and he deserves some solid defenses. I really believe he could make bantamweight anyway.

I agree, but given his (perceived) struggle for wider recognition one might suggest a bout with Mares would be appealing. Clearly not (yet anyway).

If Rigo goes up weight, he will be facing heavier and hard punching opponents hence, its advisable for him to have another match with Nonito at 122lbs. Make the venue outside USA, and promote Boxing elsewhere like Macau

I don't think those bouts held in Asia by Arum are intended for the Asian guy to lose.

Nobody can say rigo's anywhere near as good a boxer as Floyd since he's admitting he won't even go up ONE WEIGHT CLASS. Floyd's a champ in divisions with a weight range of 26 pounds, but this fool won't even risk going up 4..?? I rest my case.

"He three time olympian doe" LMAO

I guess Hagler was a bum then and doesn't compare to Floyd since he stayed in one weight class.

What's more important - cleaning out your division or going division belt hunting?

Division belt hunting, if it's against a quality opponent. Name a better opponent at 122 than beating Mares at 126.
