The likes of Laporte are better than anything Rigo has done outside of Donaire. Sanchez was greatly skilled and his resume backs it up, Rigo is greatly skilled without a resume to back it up.
    Lol alright man, you got it. You're over here trying to argue as if I said Rigo was better than Chava or something.

    Don't even bother...

Perhaps the writer put it in the book to ****e up the reading? I'm not sure however supposedly the kid was seen fighting on the undercard of some fight in Tijuana for Rigo's 6th pro fight. They said the kid faded into obscurity but hey this world can really be turned upside down sometimes. I believe it was during a time when Rigo was going through difficult moments in life and he wasn't comfortable in California. Thus he was happy to chuck the peace sign at Roach and leave Cali. Again, I wasn't there so I can't say it happened or not but I was replying to Hectari's statement. I was just remembering what I read lmao.
      Guillermo is a specimen. He would look the way he does without training. I've even heard he's fairly lazy when it comes to training. (On the flip side, I've heard Gamboa is a real gym rat.) But I cannot envision any unknown kid giving Rigo trouble, even in sparring, preoccupied or not. It's a cool story, though. lol

        Lol! I can't knock the guy for that. I do want to see him in there with Santa Cruz though. How will he deal with a large opponent who throws a million punches and just keeps walking through fire? I'm split on this fight. I like both guys.

          Would love to see it. I want to see how Rigo handles a guy like that. I'm banking it's an exciting fight that showcases "El Chacal" at full capacity.

            Leo can't pressure properly, just look at his Guevara fight. He chased him all night trying to take him down but couldn't trap him nor corner him properly. Leo throws 1000 punches against stationary opponents, something Rigo is far from. Plus, Rigo can punch. If Guevara was able to make LSC look silly at times and was landing his own pitty pat shots imagine what Rigo could land. Let's not forget that Rigo has impressive punching power, to the point that it makes fighters hesitate to even throw a punch in fear of being checked with a well placed counter. Leo can't handle the truth incarnate. LOL.

              He said 'both couldve been greats but didn't get to completely show it', that's wrong, Sanchez did show he was great and demonstrated it far more than Rigondeaux, the comparison is ******.

                I was high on LSC a couple fights back but I was really dissapointed in his lack of power his last two fights.

                  Both careers were cut short (for different reasons). We never got to see them both reach where they couldve reached. Jesus, is that that hard to understand?

                    That's not what you said though, you said Sanchez didn't accomplish enough to be great but he did, stop trying to backtrack because you don't know what the **** you are talking about.
