Mickey Rourke actually looked a bit like Rigo today! Strolling around by the ropes...circling the arms...beckoning the guy in...striking poses...and even punching once in a while!

Why is Rigo so overhyped on here?

Abner Mares was just as small as Rigo, but he decided to bulk up (he's still small though) and dared to be great by moving up to 126. Mixed results so far, but at least he tried.
On the other hand, Rigo can't afford a loss like Mares, so he's in a tough position. One loss and Rigo becomes completely irrelevant.
I would love to see Walters disconnect Rigo's head from his spine though,.

Rigo is sensationally talented. Like once in a lifetime type talent.
The Donaire win is possibly a bit overrated alright though. Nonito at that stage of his career was basically a counterpuncher who struggled to take the lead against any opponent.
Counterpunchers tend to look dreadful when they come against a faster or more natural counterpuncher. Think of how bad JMM looked against Floyd, or more recently how bad Trout looked against Lara. It looked like they were two completely different levels of fighter but that was far from the case. The Canelo-Lara fight proved that.

rigo isn't over hyped at all, anyone with a basic understanding of the sweet science can see the brilliance in his boxing. he is a marvel.
his resume isnt better because everyone is ducking him like the plague and i do mean everyone.
people say move up, but rigo is already the smallest guy at 122. people shouldn't need to be twice his size to find the balls to get in the ring with him, they should fight the best as is expected of people who want to call themselves champion.
rigo has the right to fight wherever he damn well pleases as far as weigh goes without being criticized. he is looking to fight the best, that's all that matters.
or at least it should be. as we all know the only thing that matters around here is how much you get hit, get hit a lot and you are great. you dont have to win, you dont have to fight the best.. you dont have to do ****. just have terrible defense and all is forgiven. but God forgive you if you can actually fight properly, people have every right to duck you if that's the case.
