Why is Rigondeaux still underrated?

[sicko]

How when he is being recognized now by many as a Top 10 P4P Fighter

I think Rigondeaux is getting his due now, will he a be a Superstar or a Big Draw? NO! Because he is in a Division Casual Fans just don't care about and likely wouldn't buy a PPV for but he will make good money and will get his respect from the true boxing fans

ya he is good and ya the win over donaire was impressive but one good win on your resume doesn't put you in the p4p sorry bro... 12-0 or 13-0 whaetever he is with 1 solid win is a ****ty resume end of story. Couple more fights he should be in p4p but not now

I caught a lot of hell for my post about Donaire/Rigondeaux, but I told the truth. Rigondeaux's boring and somewhat cowardly methods don't appeal to the fans and don't truly earn him recognition.

If Rigondeaux wants respect, he's going to need to start throwing more punches and actually trying to get his opponent's out of there.

Fans can live with fights that go the distance as long as a reasonable effort is made by the fighters to knock each other out.

Throwing 30 punches a round and running around the ring has no appeal at all to the typical fan.

Like it or not, people, this is the entertainment business. Some people need to stop kidding themselves otherwise.

In terms of technical ability,he is one of the best along with Floyd and Ward imo,all 3 encapture the sweet science perfectly,for those who don't see it,its their loss

I think if it wasn't for the fact that I've followed him since he was an amateur id also have some second thoughts about saying a guy with 12 fights should be top 10 p4p. BUT then id realize the fact that hes only got 12 pro fights means he can still improve his pro game and it shouldn't be a detriment hes few fights should in fact add more to his credit, that he beat the Undisputed Kingpin fighter of the year and didn't just coast to 30 garbage wins like other guys have done, but went into the pits of hell and faced the fire then the devil himself and came out victorious i think people don't give him enough credit for that.

I dont think he should be #1 p4p but when you see the ring etc not even have him in the top 10 but still have Donaire there makes you think there is some serious hate going starting with he's own promoter who hates he slaughtered he's future cash cow.

Whats ridiculous is that they put Donaire in the top 5 P4P list from out of no where when he stopped Montiel but can't even put Rigo in the top 10 for schooling Donaire.

I don't thinks he's underrated ....just boring nd drama free

He really said this? That not a smart move

He is 32 years old, he already grew up to the limit, WTF do you want? with 7 fights he was the interim Champ, one fight later he won the Belt and in his 12 took the best fighter and P4P #4 or 5 to school, tell me how many fighters has done and accomplished what he has in 12 fights?

real talk man.... yet some boxing fans will say this is real boxing. I hate how some who claim to be boxing fans only think the defensive "boring" fighters are boxing and claim that the offensive fighters like pacquiao are not good boxers. Boxing isn't just about defense, yet its not just about offense there are different kind of boxers and rigondeaux is a great boxer but he falls under the category of the least appealing to watch

The Ring magazine doesn't even have him top 10 p4p, what a ****ing joke.

That's just Chuck Giampa's list. No one takes it seriously. Fischer and Rosenthal both have Rigo in their top 10 - http://ring tv .craveonline.com/blog...or-pound-lists
