Stop this Rigondeaux hype

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

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.

i can accept this, and i wouldnt call him an atg yet

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.

Please... P4P Hopkins would still box Donaire's ears off for breakfast - yesterday, today or tommorrow.

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.

Size wise it would be like Gamboa-Crawford all over again.

Gamboa looked like what he was, the better fighter, but the size difference more than made up for it.

I'd still favour Rigo to beat any of them, but there's a size difference that you can't just ignore.

Oh ok, so all of the people saying Loma is ducking Rigo were full of shit.

He is nowhere close to being an atg man..he is not even close to being a hall of famer

Dude what else is he meant to do? Also the p4p number 1's performance against that slow plodder that Khan and Alexander already beat up wasn't half as convincing as Rigos victories this year.

well you're a rarity, you should see some of what the other Rigo fans have been writing, it's ridiculous.

Rigo, if he carries on at this rate in terms of fights per year and level of opposition, probably won't even make the HOF.

I hope 2015 is better for him and more boxers are willing to negotiate a fight with him so we can get at least one of the following:

Rigo v Frampton/LSC/Quigg or even Rigo v Loma up at fw.

Oh really? how long ago was Hopkins the lineal champ in his division?

Why not meet halfway, 124? Or is Lomachenko still not ready like he admitted before?

The problem with most fans is all they seem to look at is power and chins like its the be all and end all of boxing. Not that Lomachenko is even a puncher.
The guy gets hit with half a dozen shots in a few rounds whilst giving up almost 7" height and 4 in reach and suddenly his defense isn't upto scratch, ey?

Rigo will tap that kids ass and all these lot hyping Lomachenko will suddenly make excuses about weight, he wasn't ready or claim he was a hypejob that beat nobody despite saying he was this monster that would K.O Rigo prior.

If Loma wants the fight all he has to do is say. Rigo will fight anybody, anytime, anywhere.
If you think Lomachenko is ready for the fight, you're sadly mistaken. Rigo will torch that kid.

Rigo deserves the hype
