His presence in the pro game has artificially enhanced this era of fighters to coincide skill wise with those of the 2000s.
    I am very lucky that he is not on tv. This dude is the cure for insomnia. He is the 122 lb version of John Ruiz,the best shadow boxer ever.

    NOTE: This ain't the amateus, so sit down on your punches, stop slapping, and fight at FW where there plenty of dudes who KTFO this pretender.

        Slapping? He's got a 66% KO ratio and has scored knockdowns (several in certain cases) in almost every fight.

        People just make stuff up when talking about Rigondeaux.

          He is dreadful to watch, maybe him taking a forward step in a fight would help.

Oh, the best part is he has immense talent and skill to outbox his opponents over a comfortable 12 round UD... But actually goes after the kill when the opportunity arises
            he still has much to learn, doesn't he realise taking risks is dangerous?

            professional boxing is entertainment you say? nonsense, people only want to see me win, regardless of the means

              funny how arum bashers blamed rigo's luck on the devil arum when even showtime is not touching him with a ten foot pole.

              lara is Cuban but he gets fights so wtf rigo? you'd have to be reaaaalllllyyyy boring to be treated like this. rigo's supposed to be an atg leagues better than pac and Floyd or ali yet no one wants to see him fight? sorry i'm just chuckling hard here. maybe he's not that good in the first place. we all know donaire was a stylistic mismatch. donaire has a way better resume than rigo if both were to retire today.

                Stop. He is fighting bums at 122 lbs. He needs a promotional company and to move up to FW.

                  You have Wlad as your AV, he's been fighting bums at HW for over 90% of his career, but you can only beat who's in front of you, yes?

                  Rigondeaux beat a top 5 P4P fighter with ease and has been trying to get Santa Cruz, Frampton and Quigg in the ring since but they are all avoiding him...not his fault that the other 'top guys' know they don't stand a chance and duck him.

                    Problem is we never get to see him because he can't escape the grasp of his co-promoter. Hopefully he can work something out with Roc Nation.

                      I call them like I see them and could give a sh#t less what you say about it. You clearly don't know a great fighter when you are looking at one and your remarks are complete bull****. Keep hoping for rigo to get exposed and I'll keep making money betting on Rigo to win every time he fights.
