But with that said I'm pretty sure he's said he'll fight 126 guys

Think it's a little unfair to keep asking Rigo to move up. The guys north of his division are big dudes compared to him. It's not his fault no one wants to fight him. I think the first out of the super bantams to step up will be Frampton once he beats Quigg. Shame though, thats still a while away.
I get the feeling that LSC will eventually retire without fighting any of the decent names kiko/rigo/frampton/quigg

And I remember Rigo saying there's no way he'd fight at 126... I just lost a little respect for him after that, and don't put as much stock into "everybody ducking him."

Yeah - guys in his division don't wanna fight him - so move up and secure a bigger fight.
That's what pound for pound badasses do.

What I do have an issue with is people saying "Rigo doesn't move up because the FWs would duck him just the same" and giving Rigo fantasy wins over Walters, Loma etc on that basis.

Rigo looks closer to a weight class under than up... It's not like Ward who has good size or GGG. The guys at those low weight classes tend to cut a lot. Rigo consistantly already looks on the small side vs everyone he fights and he's lean as all hell. Walters is legitimately a lot bigger.
I'm fine with guys dominating their weight class but it's embarassing how Rigo is ducked. He's got the biggest win of anyone there and is indisputeably the man there yet people still duck him. I'm not sure we've seen a division outright avoid the top guy there in quite some time.
