    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.
    Those fights are good fights, but, Arum has all the 126 guys right now.

    Santa Cruz would be the biggest fight for him but Cruz is a Haymon fighter. Kiko already openly ducked Rigo and said he wanted Nonito instead lol this was right after Rigo beat Nonito. Frampton won't be fighting out of the UK.

    I think rigo beats all those guys just wish he would either demand to fight those top guys or move up and fight the best, not Agbeko or some random Thai guy, and no more Rico Ramos paper champ types either.

      Not many fighters are in any kind of rush to take an L, calling out Rigo is a recipe for a number in the loss column. With a promoter who openly bashes his fighter and a network who is as the mercy of said promoter, his hands are tied. Bob has a lot of **** to say about Rigo (usually negative) but the solution is simple match him up with someone who can beat him and send him packing with a loss, damaged goods ... Problem is the fighter to beat him @22 (maybe 26) might not exist ... Not so simple on second thought

          So he does not know the s exact weight? He just somehow knows a vague 4 pound range? (the range of an entire weight class) As I suspected, it's an estimated guess not based any facts.

            With all due respect, I don't think you fully understand the situation Rigo is in. He is not picking his fights. He didn't pick Agbeko, nor did he pick Kokietgym. The champions/top contenders at 122 don't want fo fight him. As you said Santa Cruz is a big fight and a fight vs. Frampton would be huge in Belfast. Both are at 122. Nobody -except Donaire but they fought already- would bring him more money at 126, so why move up in weight?

            And you're confusing paper champion with weak champion. Rico Ramos was not a paper champion.

              Is 142 not at about/around 138? Is there really a big difference between 138 and 142? I could understand if he first said 142 then said something like 132.

                Since when does Rigo wanna move up in weight? Last I read he was acting like Andre Ward, wanting fighters to come to 122.
