Comments Thread For: WBO: Avalos Withdraws From Rigondeaux Title Shot

[The Ninth Layer]

Stevenson AND kovalev are BOTH champions. You making kovalev seem as the "challenger" is completely idiotic.

Stevenson and Kovalev are titleholders; Stevenson is the lineal champion.

If Caribe is reading these forums, it further reveals how clueless they are. Boxing Scene posters have pennies to their name and stream even basic HBO cards. You don't market to BoxingScene, you market to the demographics of the region. That's why they Poles fight in Chicago, Italians and Irish fight in New York, and Mexicans fight in California.

Boxing Scene is a wasteland.

What do you mean "more money doe"? As if it isn't more money? Or that money should be irrelevant in a fighter's decision making process?

The fact of the matter is that Frampton is a higher paying fight and he's still taking on a world class fighter, a world champion at that.

Stevenson took on Forfarna "for far less" money than he would have got to fight Kovalev. And I don't see the Hopkins fight happening. So I fail to see the comparison here.



Frampton won the world title less than a month ago and you're claiming he's holding the belt hostage?

Stop being such a ***ing n00b

the question is, why in the flying fck do you care which fight is more lucrative for the fighter? are they paying you or something? Just say you don't want your fighters to lose its saves you from making an ass out of yourself.

Duck , duck and duck .
I knew it and evrybody knew it . This kid would be smoked , exposed , embarrassed , and this is why he ducked rigo .

He was rigo mandatory before bob arum got him frampton mandatory , which is not a signed fight since frampton wants quigg or maybe defend with a nice cherrie picking and maybe face his mandatory . Who says frampton will fight him ? And besides frampton has a hand injury and who knows when he will fight again ?

Man this is plain duck , duck and duck . Why not fight rigo first , and if you win the wbo WBA and ring magazine then after becoming the best 122 in the world go for frampton then or santacruz ? Wouldn't beating rigo
Make you get a more profitable fight ? Make you the man ?

But you know some ? You ain't beating him , so the duck makes is the choice .

This kid , santajoke , mares , frampton , quigg , are all scared of rigo . No doub t .
I really believe that rigo and golovking are the most avoided fighters in the planet , right now .

Stop the ducking , cherrie picking , come on . What the f is this ? Nobody wants to beat the best ? The champ
? Hit and not be hit , can't hit what you don't see .

Rigo : go and call klisko , maybe he will fight you .

Im curious, when Top Rank offered Rigo the Avalos fight many months ago, and Rigo turned it down, was that also a "duck"??

How thick are you? What kind of challenger would turn down a shot at the lineal champ? That's the very definition of a challenger, you are challenging for the crown. Why are you in this sport if you don't want to be recognized as "the man"? When you are the man you have the ability to pick and choose because you sit at the throne. This is common sense.

This is why every contender coming up calls the champ a coward. And why every champ can pick and choose which contender to fight next.

obviously my point (and my sarcasm) went right over your head. I just find it ironic that the ONLY criteria people have when determining if its a "duck" is if they like that fighter, or hate the other fighter. If "your" guy does it, its not a duck, its a smart business move. If the other guy does it, its a duck and he is a coward.

Its just silly. For example, people will say GGG is ducking Ward, when #1 Ward isnt even in his division, and #2 he cant even fight anyways because of his legal fight with Goosen. But the same people say Cotto is not ducking GGG because GGG "brings nothing to the table" (but Andy Lee does??)

Its all nonsense. None of these guys "fear" any other fighters. Its all business. They KNOW the economic impact of losing a fight, and they do whats in their best interests. The only guys who really should think about "legacy" fights are fighters that are already financially set.

GGG issued the challenge 154-168. He had no problem getting in the ring with chavez jr, who has no belt, but won't get in the ring with ward for the lineal 168 lbs belt. Cuz it makes no financial sense. Thats why I laughed when cotto did that to ggg. GGG did the same **** to ward and hes the one who threw down the challenge.
