Why wont more people speak up? Rigondeaux is clearly the best boxer in the world

[smoothsmg]

He disregards age and the substantial amateur experience, as if hypothetically speaking Rigondeaux was 20 years old and a pro, that he would actually fight Donaire in his 12th fight. That would be ridiculously ****** match making.

You know he is not thinking with logic or sense, just looking for a way to bash Floyd for anything.

I love Rigo and want to see his fights on any channel I can. However, the unfortunate reality is that his style and division make him a hard sell. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is what it is.

Im always in awe of his skills when he fights. But I think this is correct, its more so the lack of excitement in the division. Now that he dismantled donaire, what is left? Hes too small to keep moving up.

On the other hand, I find rigo much more exciting than ward(who has a bigger following).

Andre Ward has no personality, less skills than Rigo and certainly less beautiful to watch yet he gets tremendous hype. Ward is a great fighter but he isn't as good as Rigo... Why does Rigo get so much ****?

Bro jr featherweights haven't exactly been the toast of boxing...like ever.

Andre Ward has no personality, less skills than Rigo and certainly less beautiful to watch yet he gets tremendous hype. Ward is a great fighter but he isn't as good as Rigo... Why does Rigo get so much ****?

This board and casual fans in general only care for non-stop action fights with knockouts and fighters standing in front of each other throwing punches nonstop with their feet stuck in the mud. If you use your feet and move to set up your next bit of offense, you are a runner. If you are a counter puncher who doesnt throw first, you are afraid to take chances.

I don't even consider him that awesome to be honest....Put him in with Santa Cruz and lets see how good he really is.....He's overrated.

Multiple Olympic gold medalists, WBA, WBO and The Ring world champ.

Sure he's overrated if say so.

Rigo just in a bad division, he would have to chase money fights for people to get interested. Andre Ward gets a pass cause he american and in a weight class american's like. The boxing heavyweight champion of the world can't get on HBO or Showtime, if people don't speak up for that then why expect it for rigo?

[BennyST]

I wouldn't say he's #1 P4P but saying he's a boring fighter is like saying Biggie is the G.O.A.T. Nothing but propaganda put out by the powers that be.

Yes, I don't understand it. There are many more boring fighters, al, of whom are getting big fights, Andre award being an obvious one. Rigo has had one or two stinkers, and a bunch of good/decent fights that are easily watchable. The Donaire fight was a good fight, but it seems he would have been better off losing.

Tar and Arum are real ****ing dogs. He wouldn't be hard to put on as a main undercard fight, but Arums just trying to screw him for embarrassing his other Filipino star. It's ****ed and people are falling for the bull****.

Many if the same people *****ing will go and watch a Ward fight, or similar, without any of the same *****ing.

It's sad. He's trying to make a living doing the only thing he can do and knows, and he's one of the greatest in the world at it, yet people fall for the bull**** media put out by TR and just go along with it.

Tow the line boys.

Jazz hasn't been great since the 30s-40s. The 50s ruined it with the lounge style and it's gotten worse ever since.

Yet the most famous jazz musician and the highest selling jazz album were from the late 50s/early 60s and places like the Lincoln Center sell out with great regularity today.

1950s lounge style?

Someone knows what they're talking about.....

He's so skilled that people just can't comprehend it. Too much for their brain to register.
