    or this



    I've said it before and I'll say it again. Rigondeaux peaked too soon. He should have fought bums to build his resume and fan base like other fighters do.

    My 3rd plan would be to drop down to 118, clean it out and still defend his 122 titles. That gives him 2 divisions of fighters as options.
    He did beat bums, thats why people were asking for Donaire.
    Rigo is just boring bro.

        i would take him on the road. first i would take him to argentina for a kiko martinez unfication fight. then the uk too fight both quigg and frampton. then come back to america for fights with santa cruz and a move up in weight for a fight with mares and the russian mexican. when you have a style like rigo you are forced too fight everybody in order too force the people too recognize you as the best. Plus you have too put rigo in with action fighters so he can do what he does best. COUNTERPUNCH

          You really consider Marroquin, Kennedy, and Ramos "bums", especially for a guy with around 10 fights? Wow! I wonder how many up and coming fighters could go through Rigo's resume undefeated.

            I said months ago to do what they are doing with GGG put him in with people that he will pistol whip. I like Rigo but I don't think Top Rank or GB are Ina rush to promote him the way he fights, no English and no real fan base

            I hate saying this but I think his best chance of success is to go all WWE and create a persona who is full out anti American Iron sheik style and just ***** on America every chance he gets rip the flag / burn stuff whatever just get casuals invested in hating the guy and wanting to see him lose I think that would be his best chance.

              I thought you would like Mikey, same boring styles you seem to like, maybe he's too active for your taste.

              Donaire gave him his shot, now he put up some of the most boring performances in boxing history.

              And theres nothing the managers can do, it's all on Rigo, he makes fans get off their seats, and out of arenas

                fight styles that fit him, Step up the aggression a bit, blow away fighters that are out of his league and not carry them the distance if he doesn't have to, try to gets some fights in Florida.
