Comments Thread For: Abner Mares: Everyone Fears Rigondeaux, But I'd Fight Him

[786]

Mares is one of the most honest boxers out there. Doesn't talk crap about his opponents, yet tells it like it is. Wears his thoughts and feelings on his sleeve. Most other fighters is like - oh I don't know I have to sit down with my team and family. Or oh I leave that up to my Al Haymon and my promoter, my job is to just fight. This fool tells you when, where and how.

I agree. I like Mares' attitude, his comments after his loss were very honest and saying he'd fight Rigo is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect top fighters to come out with concerning their competition but they very rarely do.

yup Nonito was even 3 p4p at the time behind money and pac.

Rigo made that look easy....

I'll always support my Mexican fighters but its hard to see anyone beat Rigo right now

dude has cat reflexes

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting your horse to win. We all do it. What I have a problem with is when people refuse to acknowledge that the other guy's horse is better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mares is on the level of Morales when it comes to being a man and letting your balls hang. No excuses about who, where, or money. Just name the time and place, and he'll be there to fight. If you don't like dudes like these, I don't see how you can call yourself a fan of boxing.

Hes a "breath of fresh air", in this era of boxing. Sadly, that has to be said in this day and age of "I can't fight him, hes my bff.".

Dude doesn't care about that. Watch the interview after the PDL fight. "We're friends, but I want to beat him too".

No racism but I never root for Mexican fighters. I'm Puerto Rican so the rivalry is the reason for that. It's like being a Yankee fan and rooting for Boston, not going to happen. Lol Abner Mares though is a hell of a fighter. I kinda, sorta make exceptions for him cuz he's one tough vato.

lol Great example...and one I can totally relate to. For years, I hated Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz (as ballplayers); but I always acknowledged their greatness and respected their abilities.

MARES will win this fight no doubt!

This guy ?????

Manny Ramirez was a ****ing monster! Big Papi too. Smh

Donaire was #5 I think, which is still impressive. Definitely wasn't #3.

Definitely #3. Maybe not yours but every list had him at 3.

[CubanGuyNYC]

Definitely #3. Maybe not yours but every list had him at 3.

I remember Donaire being at #5 on most lists. I don't recall ever seeing him at #3, although I suppose someone might've had him there.

Definitely #3. Maybe not yours but every list had him at 3.

I'm fairly sure that's not right. I might be wrong, but I would need to see it.
