Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Santa Cruz vs. Rigondeaux Has To Be Made!

[Juanito425]

Both Santa Cruz and Mares need to fight Rigo. It's both fortunate & unfortunate that Rigo fights the way he does because it really hurts his brand. Rigo would be such a tremendous superstar if he could modify his "Cuban" style by being more aggressive and not consistently boxing off of his back foot. His style will always force him to take the smaller purse do to the fact that he is a perfect example of "high risk/low reward" for fighters that can sell tickets either live or ppv.

No where to hyde, Are ready for this & I believe a 50% purse split will secure it. Venue shouldn't matter!

A %50 purse split? Are u high? Lsc wont fight him for an or 3ything less than a mill

After he obliterates Cruz he needs to fight Frampton. That's another fight I'm dying to see.

LSC isn't w/GB right? Why is he trying to make fights with guys he don't really have control over..... oh now I see he's trollln' Haymon.

Santa Cruz is a traitor . That's the word coming across mexican fight fans

Oscar believes in his fighters and that has to be respected. He thought and advised Canelo to not take the Lara fight.

Not sure how the role of promoting a hardcore Haymon advised fighter such as LSC goes but you have to admire that GB is open and willing for a Rigo v LSC match up. Let's hope this happens in 2015!

I thought he tried to do that in his last fight when he was knocked down by Amagasa. I agree with the majority here that Rigondeaux has serious boxing skills but he is definitely not untouchable. Whether Santa Cruz has a chance against him is another question all the same...
