Comments Thread For: Santa Cruz Looking to Fight Frampton and Rigondeaux

[Tom Cruise]

Rigo's going to hide with a Top Rank who doesn't appreciate him to avoid this kid.

Even if they could sign to fight I'd still have my doubts about it happening...

I mean who's to say if little Leo's dad would even let him stay up past his bed time on fight night?

He wouldn't need to. Leo would end the fight quick enough to get home and get in bed with time to spare.

I could see rigo santa cruz playing out like Calderon vs Segura...

Rigo has been dropped by the likes of that marroquin guy. Anything can happen

Rigo is damn good with those cat like reflexes though....

Yes, it's boxing...anything can happen.

Rigo didn't get dropped, but he did get rocked. Marroquin is a pretty decent fighter; but, beyond that, Robert is a very big 122 pounder. He would've put practically anyone at 122 on their asses with the shots he caught Rigo with.

yup everyone loves to hate on mexican fighters and there is a reason why.

Back when Pac and donaire were on poeples top p4p list filipinos were making a lot of noise talk endless ****...Puerto Ricans have been quiet lately

Its now the cuban nut huggers that are the new trolls who claim cuban boxers are the best. Truth is no cuban fighter will never do or accomplish what pac did and look what happened to him.

Keep hating *****es....

The reason why some people hate on Mexican fighters is because 1. they're successful and 2. because of their success, some Mexicans want to rub it in. The moment someone else has something to brag about, it's payback time. It's human nature.

Cuban fighters aren't necessarily the best (although we have at least one guy who is); but if Cubans aren't the best boxers, who are? Mexicans? lol If you go by most champions, the best boxing nation is the United States. If you go by per capita champions, the best boxing nation is Cuba. If you want to talk about most exciting fighters, Mexicans have a case. But that's subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and the nationalist.

You are being sarcastic, are you?

[Grimgash]

The Mexicans fight to feed their loved ones they don't give a hoot about a 0, even Floyd's 0 is fake. As for santa Cruz vs rigondeaux, styles make fights, it can play out like a mayweather Castillo 1, anythings possible.

So rigo would fight injured and win a close decision, then quick rematch and dismantle him?

What the fk you smoking? No he didn't? Thats the problem when you dont know what you talking about and just hate on a fighter talking out yo butt happens.


Listen to your daddy Santa Cruz he is trying to save your career from your first L

There is no one that can beat rigo from 122-130 not even a punchers chance..he got hot by the hardest hitter in those three divisions aside from the japanesr guy at 130 who holds the wbc title...and he beats him too.(Nonito The Elf)Santa cruz doesn't have a deep fryer big enough for this fish

[Ringlife]

I would like to see Santa Cruz fight both those guys this year. Hopefully Rigondeaux becomes a free agent later in the year.

It's not about the "O" for Mexican fighters, it's about fighting the best. Juan Manuel Marquez, Orlando Salido, Jhonny Gonzalez, Abner Mares, Juan Francisco Estrada, Daniel Ponce De Leon, etc., can all attest to that. They all came up the hard way. Even Saul Alvarez can attest to fighting the best (although he didn't come up the hard way). Trout, Mayweather Jr., and Angulo back to back to back. At 23 years old. Enough said. There's some people that will find any reason to hate on Mexicans though.

I got Leo Santa Cruz over Carl Frampton, and I give Leo a decent shot to pull off the upset and dethrone the king of 122.

Rigondeaux would love to fight the best and he's from Cuba?? All fighters in the world are not scared to lose their "0" but unfortunately Boxing is more of a business and not a sport anymore.

[Joe Grizzley]

i like cruz but he looked vulnerable his last fight. rigo wouldn't be the right fight for him because he'd get his as.s whipped.
