Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux Faces Amagasa, 12/31 in Japan

Damn I love Rigo... And his skills are incredible, and truly one of a kind...

But I'm starting to get a little frustrated with him by shutting off all potential fights above 122...

There are a lot of great fights he could make at 126 - Walters, Ghonzales... Even Evgeny Gradovich, with his aggressive, come forward style would make for a great style clash..

Or hell, even Simpewe... Or, unless he's ducking, Abner Mares - with his style would make for a very good clash.


This shows why you gotta give Mayweather and Pacquiao credit for giving up a lot of weight on fight night. If the best in your own weight class won't fight you, sometimes you just gotta let your balls swing deep, move up a weight class, and challenge the biggest and baddest M-****ers around.

Rigo is probably the only purest example of a Boxer who will never in his life be accused of ducking. And on top of that, the only purest example of a Boxer who has been ducked by literally everyone at the top, except one. That's like two extremes.

The best post in the last 24 hours!!!

Green K!

True.
Hard to believe 4lb is an insurmountable obstacle for Rigo to overcome.

Rigondeaux has promised if he loses he will repatriate back to cuba

i guess u dont remember the quote that if we cant find fights at 122 with the other champions in a year we are going to 126 and fighting all the champions there...but do me a favor and name me 1 126lber that has said they want rigo..lol he's just as ducked at 126 as he is at 122..and this is a guy ppl said shouldnt even be at 122 but below it..i think closer to 40 than 30...there is a point u have to stop askin a guy to move up..especially when u have guys like walters in the ring at 140...witht that said waters doesnt want a rigo fight

Sheeeeeesh!!!! $500K to fight an unkown fighter in a foreign country. Santa Cruz got $750K to fight Roman on a Mayweather undercard in Vegas.

Great to see the champ back, but he should have tried to reach an agreement to fight in Miami. Im sure Amagasa would travel for some extra money. Team Riggobdeaux really need to test the Miami market and see if he would sell as they say he would.

He's called oit the top guys at 126 except Walters, but Walters said he doesnt want to fight Rigondeaux. What are your other options?
