Is Guillermo Rigondeaux Too Small To Fight At 126?

[Aztekkas]

Rigo's a beast but Walters is way to freakin big. I would love to see Rigo vs Lamachenko. A 50/50 fight IMO.

Amagasa was taller and lankier and according to some fans on the forum Donaire rehydrated to 142 in the Rigo fight, Walters rehydrates to 138. Don't these facts indicate Rigo's ability to neutralize size effectively? If so shouldn't RiGodzilla be able to handle anyone at 126 based on his skills?

He probably could beat them too but I want to see Rigo vs Lamachenko.

Exactly(bolded). He is already fighting bigger men that balloon to 130 plus, according to you Donaire rehydrated all the way to 142, neither Walters nor Loma have ballooned past 140 in their recent fights. How would it be any different when in fact FW's themselves don't rehydrate as much as Donaire did in their fight? Oh, and it isn't just for the "sake of challenging himself" but more or less to attempt to build a decent resume before he exits the game. He is 34 or so, he doesn't have much time and wasting it away against domestic level fighters is a massive disappointment.

Because those fight were fought at his weight, why don't loma and walters agree to fight a 124 and they can ballon 10 or 15 pounds? You seems to want him to fight not only better opposition but bigger guys too, why not level the plane field a little bit, ala packio-floyd? Don't you think that frapmton-quigg-st+-kiko are domestic level?

People like me would say what? Idiot, I am a massive Rigo fan. I even bought his book Anyway, no one was claiming Donaire was too small at 126 when Rigo vs Donaire rolled around, perhaps now but not then. In fact, most were claiming Donaire was only fighting at 122 to pick on midgets prior to his fight with Rigo, now all of a sudden he is too small for FW?

Everything I said is true, that's why I constantly repeat and won't stop now. Amagasa and Donaire fought at SBW when one was a FW and the other was "picking on midgets", correct? So that means both of them were drained in those fights, I mean it would only make sense. Both Amagasa and Donaire are huge, they couldnt have made 122 without killing themselves, correct?

You're right, see how ignorant these Rigotards sound? You can be a fan of a fighter and not hype him up beyond what he is. Rigo is an amazing talent but sadly he won't get the opportunity to face the names he deserves. I suppose most of his fans are comfortable with him fighting subpar competition in "his weight division" such as you, but I'm not. I want to see his skill against legitimate champions not some Asian domestic fighters.
Rigo and his fans are afraid to move up to 126 but can't find the proper way to put it in text without sounding like the other fighters whom are ducking Rigo. Also, I would never call Rigo a boring runner. Never have and never will

I assume none of his fans want to see him against the likes of Kokietgym or Amagasa wasting his prime years, but you can't always get what you want. I want to see him fight world champions/top contenders at...122. I believe he's too small for 126, you don't, that's fine.

Quigg and Santa Cruz, yes. Frampton and Kiko, nope. I just hope 122 mans up and takes their ass whooping against Rigo soon, I am beyond sick of their ducking.

Lomachenko vs Rigo at 124 sounds good but I don't think Walters would fancy even thinking about that catchweight.

Truth of it all is Rigo shouldn't be having to go and hunt down his opponents, everyone should be gunning for his noggin. Sadly 122 is filled with a bunch of sideway slits and Rigo has very limited options. With that said Rigo could move up to 126 based on his past achievements against bigger fighters and skills alone. Will he? I highly doubt it. Can he? I'm positive he can, his set of skills would prevail as they have before.

However, fighting all these low leveled fighters is a joke and although LSC and Rigo are in polar opposite ends of the Promotional spectrum, it doesn't change the fact that Rigo is fighting the same level of competition as the fighters Rigotards bash.

Agree to disagree, it was fun debating. I green K'd you Good day, sir.

Quigg or Leo Santa Cruz

Who fights tougher opponents?

Likewise. Thanks for the green.

Cut the BULL****! You just want others to do Leo and the rest at 122 DIRTY WORK! He is plenty of competition at 122 for Rigondeaux that he hasn't fought yet.

Some of you sound SUPER ****** trying to suggest that he should move up because he is in a Division full of terrified fighters who make excuses DAILY as to why they don't want to fight Rigondeaux.

I agree with you. he should stay at his division till he hits 40, and keep fighting nobodies. then he will call a day. perfect legend scenario

Donaire was small at 126 and Rigo was a lot smaller then him.

This is all that needs to be said really. Not to mention Donaire rehydrates up to 140 on fight night... Rigo ... Not so much.
