Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux vs. Darchinyan is Possible For The Fall

[kozone]

I never said it was cherry picking at all. I actually think it's a good fight. I hope Vic does well, and gets paid well for it. He's been chosen to lose though.

As for your question:

Jeff Fenech: won title in 6 months and 7 fights, and beat prime HOFer Zaragoza
Saensak Muangsurin: won title in 3rd fight, beat about 5 or 6 champions in first 10 fights.
Veeraphol Sahaprom: beat champion in 4 fights.
Davey Moore: beat 1 loss (to Leonard) Ayub Kalule, fought Duran, beat Benitez etc
Kazuta Ioka: unified the division
Muangchai Kittikasem: lost to Carbajal, but also beat Koo Chang and Chitlada
Leon Spinks: beat Ali
Sot Chitalada:
Hiroki Ioka etc etc and there are many more.

Lots of guys have done what Rigo has done, often earlier and more in many cases. Beating Donaire was great though. Amazing stuff. I'm not downplaying any of it.

I know you didn't say it was cherry picking!! That was directed to the person I originally commented on and was just validating it...it wasn't to you at all!!
All I'm am saying is Rigo has never had an easy road whereas now in days fighters get choosy about they fight and are pampered into being champs...hence the term paper champ!

Rigondeaux vs. Darchinyan is possible for Fall

This is not cherry picking on Rigo's part. He is at the top of the heap. Everyone else is deemed inferior to him. As long as he fights boxers in the Top 5 contender of his class, he is doing what is reasonable.

wished for Mares so Rigo would be the "undisputed" fighter of the year but hey we cant get everything we wish for...

Don't hold your breath on Rigo-Mares. It's not likely to happen. The Top Rank-Golden Boy rivalry strikes again....

[NoMoTomatoCans]

.. Dude he just blanked the cream of the crop, but your still not convinced?? Who the hell else is there for him to be considered a p4pounder?? Mares?? Pffft that would be another shutout .. Watching Rigo you can just tell he is completely seasoned, 12 fights don't mean anything Rigo is about 32 and has fought for years in Cuba dominating .. He ain't your original 12 fight fighter .. Idk who can beat this guy right now

Look how many guys PAC beat down yet JMM had his number. It's possible for a good fighter to have problems with a particular style. Not trying to take anything from Rigo, I would just like to see him compete more before I would give him such high praise as many have. How does he fare against the elite? One fight isn't enough to make a decision IMO.

Plus Im going against the grain and I think Mares beats him.

People are ignoring the fact that Vic's is Rigo's mandatory for their agenda........

Theres a God if Darchinyan upset him..

Don't know about that, but Vic does have a puncher's chance.....

Weren't the Rigonblow fans whining and complaining about people dismissing him on the basis of so few professional bouts prior to the Donaire fight? Now they're using it as an excuse to justify him fighting a clearly diminished fighter - and one who Rigonblow fans were quick to deride when reports came out that Donaire may be fighting him instead?

"Darchinyan, a Flyweight titlist and World Jr. Bantamweight Champion, is currently rated #2 by the WBC, #7 by the IBF, and #1 by the WBO at 122 lbs. The current WBO titlist at 122 is lineal World Jr. Featherweight Champion Guillermo Rigondeaux."

Now SHUT UP!

I don't care who he fights next. I just find the hypocrisy of his fans laughable.

And we find you more laughable.....

What hypocrisy? There's no one particularly worthy of fighting, except for Mares. And we all know that ain't likely to happen. It's only hypocrisy if Rigo was avoiding someone, which he isn't.

+1......

[SBleeder]

Would rather see him fight Kameda.

[konfirm]

Lol @ Rigo giving a beatdown to anybody. If Rigo fought a schoolboy he'd dance around him for 12 rounds avoiding any harsh contact

I know right. He danced all over nonoto's face.

I doubt GBP will even make an offer i think Rigo as much as Arum **** on him and doesnt like him for derailing his cash cow (which he actually had to get put in writing in his contract to get the shot) he would show much more interest than Donaire ever did if they offered him even half of what they offered Donaire, but they wont they just want to seem like they want to fight him but be ****** if they actually did tbh.
