We will not showcase Rigo but...

[CubanGuyNYC]

He's right that Rigo is also limited by his weightclass. None of his opponents would get on HBO, they just don't do 122 or under. Crawford's opponents are much worse, but he's still a prospect fighting for cheap, and will soon step up to the much more popular 140/147

If that's what he meant, then I can agree with that, but that's not how I interpreted his post.

[CubanGuyNYC]

So are you saying that Rigo is gonna fight Agbeko @ 118?

No, if that fight happens, it'll probably be at 122. What I'm saying is that Agbeko is no smaller than Rigo. In fact, Joseph is taller.

So many guys around here were swearing Rigo was gonna get iced. Afterwards, it was like Matthysse-Garcia...lots of eggs on faces. Now Guille is a champion in a crummy division. O...K....

I was on ESPN boards at the time and everyday people said Rigo is going to get KOed and the fight happened and they cried he ran.

People need to realize Crawford is a prospect, the guy was fighting 40 loss guys recently, if you crown him than you are being foolish, Rigo is a p4p guy he is set.

We will shove Crawford down your throat. I like Crawford and all but come on there was no need for this fight to be this damn boring. I gave him a pass vs Prescott cause he's a hard hitter but what was the excuse tonight?

Hbo, boxing in general is full of double standards. While not the most exciting of fights, I did enjoy Crawfords one sided performance vs the Russian. Maybe I'm still trying to get over the zillion clinches from Wlad... now that **** was frustrating.

The only one that ran in that fight was Donaire, with his hand over his poor eye. That was a surreal sight: Nonito Donaire, an acknowledged top 5 P4P fighter, back-pedaling fiercely in circles to avoid a certain KO.

If the division is so good, why is he fighting a 118 fighter?

Hundreds and hundreds of fighters at 122, but he's fighting a 118 fighter.

Fat Dan told the fans he ran but people who know boxing see it like you and me.

Arce, Mijares, Terrazas, Mares, Santa Cruz, have expressed their lack of interest in fighting Rigo or are with Golden Boy.

What other multitude of 122 pound fighters are willing to fight him? Agbeko is fair game.
