Rigondeaux: I beat you down and you don't touch me

[HanzGruber]

The tears of these **** bring a smile to my face.

meanwhile angulo is still crying in virgils arms, get a grip

I'm all for fun fights; but Rigondeaux is one of the best fighters on the planet.

I hate "defensive fighters who clinch" but Rigo makes you miss, and hurts you.

For 122; he sure as hell hits hard as hell.

Same here, I can sit back and enjoy his mastery with no problem.

The problem with Rigo is he's so good he jumps out to these huge leads and then eases off the gas (while generally still winning rounds clearly). So what have generally already been extremely one-sided affairs suddenly become even less action-packed.

Look at after the Donaire fight, people on here were livid because he wouldn't just stand in the middle and let Donaire hit him. I like Rigo and will always watch his fights, but I can understand why some don't enjoy watching him. Same thing with Wlad and Hopkins, I appreciate their styles and enjoy watching their fights but at the same time can understand why some don't.

I agree with most your points. Mix in the fact that certain people are puppets and will believe and repeat anything they hear. If good ol' Jim Lampley said it... it must be true!

Surpasses Castillo and Marquez status as great? Are you nuts? By beating who? Rigo has tons of skills but who did he beat to suspasses escacially Marquez as great? Come on man lol

He will eventually.. maybe.

the problem is that if u continue to fight like that then stay in the AM, when people pay to see u they expect blood, sweat and tears, sad but thats the honest truth. most people dont pay to see a boxing display, most people pay because they want to see one guy knock the other guy out!

Stay in the AM? he is 14-0 with 9 KOs and dominates everyone he fights. He's not running, he sticks and moves and even sits in the pocket makes you miss and makes you pay. Lets be real here, if he were another nationality Arum would have marketed him and made him a household name. But the truth is Arum didn't see a large fan base with Cubans and he didn't believe the American public would latch on to him. Rigo has no alter ego that he can sell. Like Ward, Rigo does his job and goes home. If he had a persona that would make people love him or hate him, he would still be under TRP and they would push him on the public. And please don't try to argue against that, because Arum is hyping Algeri up to be a boxing genius. It's a shame that this is happening to Rigo because his skills are 2nd to none.

errbody shook of Ringodeaux

[damit305]

What the hell? Vazquez is Mexican and nobody wants to watch him. Rigo is hopeless he doesn't even know he is boring how can he be helped?

Miguel Vazquez?? That guy is an excessive clincher with an atrocious style, no grace whatsoever, sloppy as hell. There is no comparison except that they both use their legs. Get out of here with that crap.

Marquez was also avoided throughout most of his FW because he didn't fight like a Mexican. He didn't sell so guys saw no need in fighting him.

Marquez did not go through a public image execution from those which were supposed to promote him. There is a huge difference.

Boss I'm gonna have to call in and embarrass you son. lol

Get out of here with that trolling.. You're a Rigo fan! Said it yourself.

I don't care what rankings the P4P list has Rigo would shut Mayweather out easy 10 rounds. If Madaina can win 7 rounds against Mayweather how many rounds do you think Rigo would win ? Rigo number 1 pound for Pound Champ

... it would be like about 15 punches landed each round -- with Rigo landing 10 of them...
