    Try and get a Frampton fight man, Caribe and Hyde should be voted worst promoter and manager of a fighter.
    You can say the same thing about Loma and Walters (that they only have one signature win).

      I would like to see a Rigo vs Donaire II. The first fight was full of intensity and tension that only a great match-up can bring.

        And that is why they aren't top 5 p4p and worshipped like a god...

        (On an unrelated note, are you, by any chance, Hungarian?)

          Please no. There's absolutely no need for a rematch.

            No thanks.

            The first fight was an 11 rounds to 1 embarrassment, with Donaire in survival mode for long stretches.

              it's sounds to me that they want to fight again the guy they already beat comfortably. btw while i agree that rigo took nonito to school the "career destroying beating", like they say, was given to him by walters imo, not the cuban.

                Exactly, I hope no other Rigo fans want to see this fight, it was a one sided embarrassment with Nonito basically giving up and going into survival mode.

                I either want Rigo versus Frampton or Cruz or move up to 126

                  I think Rigo's skill set is that of a top 5 p4p fighter but I think he has a lot to add to his legacy at the professional level before people can fully embrace him as a great prizefighter.

                  ( No, my friend, I am not Hungarian. I'm form Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico)

                    Those are the fights Rigondeaux wants too, unfortunately they are all *****ing out.

                    None of them want it.

                      No doubt Rigo won that fight comfortably but For people to say Nonito was in survival mode most of the fight is absolutely ridiculous. Nonito was the one pressing the fight rounds 1-11. Round 12 was another story when Nonito got hit in the eye and inexplicably stopped trying. It seems he got so used to winning easily, he had no idea how to handle adversity. Donaire doesn't seem (to me at least) like an interested fighter anymore. Adding to that, Robert Garcia is not a good fit for him as a trainer. I like what Garcia has done with Maidana and some other lesser skilled sluggers but Nonito is really a much caliber athlete who can do so much more. If he sticks with Garcia, we will never see his full potential. I feel like Roach is a perfect fit for him. If he stays put for loyalty reasons or whatever, he may as well retire because the boxing world didn't stop improving just because he did. Roach or retire Nonito!!! Before you get hurt for real
