I'm a Frampton fanatic but I'm also a massive Rigondeaux fan and I know where they stand in the sport. Although I would be rooting for Frampton to beat Rigo if ever they throw down, I know it wont be an easy fight by any measure. I honestly think Frampton wields enough power and boxing technique to give Rigo a run for his money in a few fights.
The only downside is the fact that Rigo isn't a spring chicken and regardless of how talented he may be, time always wins by KO. I really hope Rigo gets atleast 4 or 5 good names aside from Donaire on his resume before he leaves.
I want to see them fight too. I want to see an undisputed champ already lol if all those guys are willing to fight each other that will be bad ass. If Frampton some how beats rigo then hopefully puss LSC will step up and at least fight Frampton.
However I honestly believe that out of everyone at the weight class Frampton has the greatest shot at actually beating Rigo. Will he? I'm not so sure because Rigo is a truly special fighter but Frampton isn't just a beltholder, he's a legitimate threat to anyone at 122.
Now I know Frampton isn't ready for such an uphill battle but I think and hope he will be early next year. Rigo really needs these big shot opportunities in order to strengthen his resume before exiting the sport.
I think that's fair to say. Rigo has been dropped before by much lesser punchers than Frampton.
I was reading the Japanese press and they kind of downgraded Rigo because they felt he got dropped by a guy who wasn't even near their best in the weight class.
So Rigo could box him to death yet still be in danger at times.
I do think with the Rigo it's the puncher's chance effect. I wouldn't bet against him but I wouldn't be that surprised if someone pulled off a hail mary ko.
