Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz Eyes Rigondeaux: I'm Not Afraid of Him!

[-PBP-]

Big respect to Leo if he demands this fight because that is likely what he will have to do to get his handlers to allow it to happen. They certainly wont be eager to make the fight just because he says he isnt scared of Rigo.

He won't stand up to Poppa Haymon. I wouldn't call him scared but he's not going to go out of his way to do anything. Especially when he's headlining PPVs fighting against cab drivers.

Just gotta stand up to the promoters Leo.

Just gotta stand up to the promoters Leo.

Pull a hopkins and disregard haymon.

For real who the fck was that? Rigo Is the lineal champ and he fought some guy who hasn't fought outside of Thailand since he got KTFO by Ponce. Where was all the backlash for that ? "Rigo a god doe"

there's no backlash because rigo has constantly called out the other top fighters in his division. a lot of them won't fight him. frampton's team went so far as to say they will fight anyone but rigo, presumably cuz he'll lose. it's the same reason why guys don't hate on ggg. if he calls out everyone and everyone is scared to fight him you cant really blame him.

the one top contender that agreed to fight rigo got his **** ruined and moved up to the next division and didnt even want the rematch even tho rigo said he'd give it to him any time any place. hard to fault rigo for this stuff when no one wants to fight him and take a L.

I like that santa cruz said he'd fight him but then he qualifies it at the end by saying he'd fight him if only everyone on his team is on board. that's a dumb cop out. cuz he knows his team and promoter wont let him near rigo so he'll just blame it on them knowing full well he was never going to fight rigo to begin with. it's easy to call people out when you know you don't have to fight them. i'll fight floyd mayweather too, just make sure i get that 5 mil purse.

I think a frampton fight may be down the line somewhere but they will probably wait until rigo is faded. They are aiming to go for Leo instead of rigo.

Haymon , oscar and santacruz , they all know that rigo would expose Leo and that is why this fight didn't get made .

Rigondeaux is the best 122 in the world and everybody knows it so he will be ducked at all costs .

[manoamano]

Who cares what Leo says, his godlike (lol) haymo will never let Leo face Rigondeaux cause he would lose another champion!

[PETUFF]

Well why you fighting a nobody in a pay per view??I am not buying that payper view it sucks!!fight ringondeaux coward!!

[joseph5620]

He can eye him all he wants. Whether he stands up to Master Al and fights him is another story.

He could if he wanted to. He obviously doesn't want the fight either.

IF santa cruz wanted the fight

the fight would get made, he quite clearly does not want the fight rigondeaux would expose him badly
