People are biased for and against Rigo, to the point that it's extremely difficult to find common ground in any debates regarding his career. People either bash him for minimal reasons or exaggerate certain aspects of his career.
What I'm saying is that although Rigo attempts to fight the best, he doesn't land those fights and thus is forced to take on whatever fighters step forward. Sure Amagasa and Kokietgym aren't world beaters but they aren't stellar victories, perhaps the manner in which Rigo disposed of them is, but their level as contenders is subpar to say the least.
Now, say Leo Santa Cruz fought the same two fighters last year and beat them both in a similar manner to Rigo, would there be an outrage if Leo were to be boosted to the Top 10 PFP Rankings after sId performances? Of course, because Boxing fans at all levels would recognize the fact that neither of those wins meant anything in the grand scheme of things. For anyone to attempt to sit here and justify Rigo's boosting on anyone's PFP Rankings by beating two domestic fighters is ridiculous to me. Those same folks whom agree with such actions are the same folks who would bash a fighter the likes of LSC if he were to fight the very same opposition and garner the same accolades.
I agree, Rigo's skill is without a doubt in the top ten of the sport. However, his competition during the last year has been extremely limited and not strong enough to even suggest any type of boosting in any way, shape or form regarding any rankings of any sort.
