    And several other ranked contenders and title holders. His resume is deep and stretches across multiple weight divisions. Don't give me that **** about beating up on little people. Boxing has weight divisions not height divisions.

    And stop trolling with that Gary Russell BS. Be serious.
    they're all little people. donaire is a manufactured hype job by top rank. he never belonged at the top ten p4p.

    and i'm not trolling when i say gary russell jr is better than donaire. there is no shame for gary russell jr to lose to a future ATG lomachenko. imo gary won 4 rounds against loma, but donaire barely won 2 against rigo.

        Rigondeaux would fight and humiliate every single fighter in and around his weight class but I still wouldn't watch any of his fights. Great talent though...

              Donaire is a little guy too. That's why he fights at the smaller weights. Your just hating. Donaire is one of the very few fighters that earned his hype.

                Y'all think the only style of fighting should be 'chin up, face first. whoever falls first loses'. That's just dumb.
                Agbeko as tailormade for Rigo to KO, Arum basically made that fight so Rigo could put on a master performance with amazing combos because Agbeko was there to be hit, instead Rigo pot shotted.

                So you cant blame Arum he was trying he even said he put Rigo in with flat foot fighters to make him shine to buid him up.

                Why do people get mad if Rigo has no fans? do you not understand the concept of being a big money maker you have to draw fans, and right now Rigo is not drawing enough fans for his 2 million dollar demands. He has to move up, he has too 126 is where the money is at.

                Other great fighters did that if they had a weak division or the guys in their division wanted no part of them they moved up to the money challenge.

                I think Rigo has the skills to beat the guys at 126, but instead we got him in against another Tailormade flat foot guy this time from Thailand, Arum is doing the best he can for Rigo to shine even giving him flat foot competition like Agbeko and this Thai fighter who should be easy work for him to KO.

                But he choose to throw one shot at a time. And I like Rigo, but he is shooting himself in the foot by complaining of not getting paid or not getting showtimes, he needs to understand his position he has no fans so he can't dictate how much millions he wants. He is not an aside and a few hardcore fans on boxingscene are not enough to make his salary go up.

                  Rigondeaux is back in July for what will probably be his last fight with Top Rank. I don't think he should move up in weight, he would be too small at 126. He could probably make 118. I think he is fine at 122, and the division is not weak: you have good fighters like Santa Cruz, Frampton, Martinez and Quigg. These guys should man up and fight him.

                    But he might become one of the more overrated fighters right now unless he fights more threats to test his skills.

                    He can't live off that Nonito Donaire win forever.

                    I would like to see him in against Abner Mares, Loma, Walters, Johnny Gonzalez, a Vetkya, or even Leo Santa Cruz would be a good scrap it would be nice if he can unify at 126.
                    After this fight in July, He will leave Top Rank and go to a promotional company that is willing to promote him.

                      Rigo simply needs to understand that the pros IS NOT the amateurs. Skills alone wont make you great. You need to take chances and win the crowd. You have to expose yourself to risk and put on a show to really make it.

                      That's part of what makes/made Pac fun to watch. Even when he's going to work, he's taking damage and exposing himself to risk. That vunerability gives the fans a sense that something is at stake.
