Jose Santa Cruz: The fight with Rigo won't happen because it's a fight I don't want..

[torosboxing75]

yup cuz this is what happens when you chase a "chicken":

Damn! That chicken didn't use a beak or claws, that chicken had a hammer!

[Chrismart]

Jose Santa Cruz doesn't have to worry about Rigo running or hugging.
Rigo would dismantle Santa Cruz early.

Poor Rigo he truly is the boogey man at 122. LSC is a damn duck I love how clowns are trying to spin this in a negative light towards Rigo. This place is a damn joke. Only certain fighters can duck while other's are clowned left and right for supposedly ducking.

exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's unfortunate because no Hugh competition want any of Rigondeaux. It's also funny when trolls try to call him a bum, when the it couldn't be further from the truth. It's not often a top p4p fighter is in search for the best possible opposition and the other 2 top p4p fighters fight undeserving opposition.

[Mr.Fantastic]

I'm starting to really dislike Santa Cruz. Whatever happened to the best fighting the best in boxing?

[Derranged]

Excuses time:

Rigo no hablo English holmes!

Rigo too boring holmes!

Rigo no fight like chicano holmes!

As I said in countless threads the era of "The best fighting the best" is long gone. This is the era of "how many pay per views" have you sold " "your fighting style doesn't sell"

As a previous poster already stated I'm SMH at those that defend this ****.

Yes! These newer fans are actually nothing more then groupies. We as boxing fans need to demand the best fight the best.

Not the first time a father and son have disagreed. But the dad has a point about the US TV Networks. Not Leo's fault nobody wants to air Rigos fights.

Considering Espinoza made a number of tweets saying SHO would love to air Rigo back when he was with HBO, you'd think that tv network excuse couldn't be valid. I believe SHO (or HBO, if possible) would pay well for this match-up because there is most clearly a distinct interest in it.

...

And Rigo doesn't clinch or shove - Rigo is among the cleanest fighters in the sport, and by far the cleanest pure boxer today. Rarely, if ever, do you see a forearm being used, leaning, repeated clinches, punches below the belt...Rigo would tax that ass clean.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Pathetic, as always.

People defending this duck is the worst part. Those who are so quick to call others out are instead making excuses for Santa Cruz pulling one of the most blatant ducks you'll ever see.

This guy is up there with Peter Quillin for the most embarrassing fighter in the sport.
Since when does Rigo clinch and spoil?
All this boring talk needs to stop as well his last few fights have been top draw!
In fact the only times he has been boring in truth is against Corboda and that journeyman who went into survival mode.

Amagasa, Kennedy, Donaire, Casey, Marroquinn, you couldn't of asked for more from the guy.

Hes boring and runs = I am flat footed and can't cut a ring off.
