Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux Embraces The New Journey Ahead

[IHATEBOBARUM1]

Arum and HBO have simply echoed the idiocy of what has become of a huge percentage of today's "hardcore" followers of the sport. I won't call them hardcore fight fans because they're not. In the last five years or so, basically during the height of the Floyd-Manny nonsense, several casual fans became hardcore followers because they were caught up in that drama. We've seen viewership of guys like GGG and Kovalev reach near record highs. And these morons that deepthroat them don't have the boxing IQ to appreciate a guy like Rigo. Who on his worse day has more talent and skill in his pinky toe than either of those ass clowns. And what's worse is that these new aged imbecile hardcore followers applaud guys like Rigo and Ward being ducked by lesser fighters who happen to be more entertaining to the ignorant, uneducated hardcore followers of today. Ten years ago, GGG would have to see Ward, especially after agreeing to fight Chavez Jr at 68. Ten years ago, guys like Santa Cruz, Mares, Loma and anyone else would have had to see Rigo, and hardcore fight fans would have demanded it. But that day is gone. And those ignorant f.uckz that infest sites like this one are gonna ruin this great sport with their idiocy. I mean seriously. Rigo is probably the best fighter in the world and potentially one of the best ever. And not only can he not get fights. He can't even get his fights on TV. And ****** f.uckz, like the ones that infest this site applaud and think that's a good thing. Disgusting to say the least.

Totally agree, but i think GGG has actually admitted hes not ready for ward yet, i dnt have a problem with that, i have a problem when fighters walk around as champions and pretend certain fighters dont even exist.

Eddie Hearn is definitely someone Rigo's team should talk to. Maybe he can deliver fights with Scott Quigg and Carl Frampton.

GBP would be able to get him Santa Cruz.

There are good options out there for him now that he is a free agent.

wtf i just watched the post fight press conference and he said thanks top rank for doing a good job, i really really hope he doesnt sign with them again like pac did. Alhaymon please come and grab this kid.

I dont think it necessarily means hes gonna resign with them.

You're all being naive and letting your love for Rigo go to your head he just simply wont have star pulling power of a Mayweather, ODLH or even Canelo he is low on the food chain I'd rather fancy Ward to become a star in the sport than Rigo remember to be a star in boxing you need to be known by more than hardcore fans...

Yea cause we're totally claiming that Rigo can become Mayweather or Tyson. Why don't you read before posting?

Eddie hearn cant even make quigg vs frampton happen. Rigo should stay in the states.

GGG was just an example I used of a guy who these new, uneducated f.uckz that call themselves hardcore fans have flocked to. Others include Kovalev, Matthysse, Froch, etc.I actually think GGG is words better than any of those guys. My biggest beef is that these uneducated ****** f.uckz now have a big enough voice and/or influence that real fight fans like myself are being shortchanged on seeing a guy like Rigo get big fights, or even on TV.

People are claiming Eddie Hearn and Sauerlands can make him a star...
It just wont happen he is 34 coming on 35?
He likely hasn't got long left in this sport competing at his prime.

Who in the UK is on Mayweather's level?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Btw star =/= Mayweather

Is GGG a star?

Mayweather and Pacquiao are considered superstars.
