Why is Rigo so overhyped on here?

[-Kev-]

Oh.

So he hasn't beaten anyone good then.

He's beaten Donaire and Agbeko. Donaire is good, but was being overhyped as great. He was a great hypejob. When you're good but people call you great, that's still a hypejob. Donaire, Agbeko, Cordoba were all legit good wins.

People mad cuz Rigo's clearly the best at 122


I'm a big Frampton and Santa Cruz fan but I have no problem admitting that Rigo can beat both of them, handily.

He is the best fighter on the planet. You can't over rate the best.

Skills, accuracy, footwork, power, speed, defensive wizard...He has it all. What he did to Donaire is why he can't get big fights, he will do the same to anyone.

Skill wise Mayweather is/was great, Rigo is even better.

What a ****** poll. Are you some 9 year old. Two answers then the third one you run out of ideas and just wrote 'dunno lol'

What other option did you want? I'm a rigoturd, I know he has 14 pro fights and 2-noteable wins but I'm going to crown him king anyway like the moron I am? <<< there, there's your final option. Add the at to #3 on the poll.

Rigo is a great talent, and was a great amateur, but who has he beat other than Donaire.

People get way too emotional about this dude, he doesn't want to move up to featherweight where the money fights are, yet acts like an entitled diva who wants big paydays.

His best win is Donaire, who is probably the most hated fighter on here for some strange reason, and most people say Donaire is a hypejob anyways so who has he beaten?

I'm expecting a lot of butthurt in this thread.

You have to look at Rigo's amateur record and it's hard not to be impressed. Also at the time of the Donaire fight...he was trucking people and beating them decisively. Rigondeaux dominated and outclassed Donaire. So I'm more surprised that people AREN'T impressed by Rigondeaux.

Not sure about that. From what I have read so far is nobody wants to fight him, although Quigg has been vocal about it recently. But let see if that fight comes together.

Donaire isn't hyped, he is clearly proven boxer! Choose what you want to believe.

Nobody wants to fight him, he'll beat whoever you put in front of him. This 'who has he beat?' argument is so ******. He can't beat fighters if they're not willing to fight him.

Nobody at 122 touches him, at 126 only Loma stands a chance.

This...................

[Spacey1991]

From what we've seen of him the only negative I can possibly pick out is that his chin MAY be suspect. Other than that hes as close to flawless as you can get IMO, hes not the most exciting guy out there but hes VERY effective.

What also disgusted me was how Arum went about things after the fight, Rigondeaux earned the right to have Arum go out his way to promote him and he hasn't.

I understand boxing is a business but still...
