Stop this Rigondeaux hype

[LomaUsykKlichko]

but hes been knocked down before brother, i think pretty much 100% of boxers get hit especially when fighting other professional fighters, but getting hit with the same puch over and over again is when it becomes a problem, thats what seperate good boxers from great, being able to adjust and not get hit with the same damn punches the whole fight...

rigo has great defense but he gets caught at times from being off balanced... either way it goes hes a great boxer and i hope he gets some big fights soon

Than u guys should stop saying it thats why he gets so much hate becuase of his fans they overhype him too much like saying he would beat floyd and crap like that

What's kovalevs best win? A 50 year old man

Donaire fought like a 70 year old. A 50 year old Hopkins is still better than most fighters in the sport.

What's wrong? If Rigo is so good, why can't he move up? Double standard as usual.

he can't. he can barely make 122. only way a fight happens between lomachenko or walters is if they fight at a catchweight of 123 lbs.

rigo would easily KO walters but rigo vs loma is a tough fight to call.

He's already good enough to be fighting at 122 where he's a midget! He could drop down a division if he wanted to.

Rigo is a fair size bantam and you want him to move to 126. Not every fighter is built to climb up weight divisions. Imagine the size and weight discrepancies in a Rigo vs Walters fight. Rigo is good but asking him to go up to 126 just because he's THAT good is just asking him to be at a big disadvantage from the start.

Nobody says he would beat Floyd.

Many have said he's a better fighter than the current version of Floyd, which I see no problem with. The 25 year old Mayweather and the current Mayweather are very, very different animals.

This was the ultimate self ownage..Dude knocked Rigo down and jumped on the ropes like he won.only to end up getting mutilated and quitting

[soul_survivor]

the point is, this wasnt the first time, hes been down before so why is it such a big deal?, lol because the dude was chinese??????? why are boxing fans waiting for any and every reason to write off boxers who lose or get knocked down, dazed, and or hit hard vs other professionals who make their living and train daily to fight??????? this is my point

Japanese...

Fact is, you Rigo fans hype him up too much, calling him a p4p no. 1, or a p4p atg I've read all that **** on this site and it's gonna blow up in your face once in a while.

The reality of the situation is that Rigo is a technically gifted fighter with a better than average defence and some useful power which helps him in tricky situations. His win over Donaire was tremendous but he hasn't done much since or before.

Rigo is a very good fighter but not a great one...yet.

Donaire fought like a 70 year old. A 50 year old Hopkins is still better than most fighters in the sport.

Hopkins was still good but please, he was shown his age by Dawson a year before. Donaire at that time was demolishing his opposition, was the lineal champ and was fighter of the year.

Twice against Japanese journeyman.
Once against overrated Philipino Goofy.
Once against that Cordoba guy.

Knocked down 4 times in 15 fights against subpar opposition? Doesn't look too good, you gotta admit that.

oh okay its because of the race, i get it, japanese and philipino fighters cant punch... by the way did any of them win

ali was knocked down by henry cooper (who trained himself for the fight) who many would say ali should have destroyed, these guys are all good every last one of them, if u are fighting at this level you have some skill and i give respect to these guys thats all. i love the sport of boxing
