Comments Thread For: McGuigan: Frampton is The Best at 122, Not Rigondeaux

[solo20]

This is why I respect Donaire. He didn't want to fight Rigo but he did anyway.

exactly Leo and Frampton are full of crap wish the midget killer Donaire would have stay at 122 and beat both of these domestic level bums

I'm not whining b****, never did I state that people are not entitled to their opinions, I'm just saying you can't say Frampton is the best because on that win alone. Even Frampton's team said they were not ready for Rigo yet.

But he didn't say Frampton was the best because of that win alone. No one did. You've created that in your little frustrated head.

They also never said they weren't ready for Rigondeaux. You're good at inventing things.

Where did his promoter say that Frampton is the best based on his talent? He's saying Frampton is the best now because of his impressive win against Avalos, which is still not a good measuring stick. It's you who's inventing things.

Wasn't it last year that Frampton's team said they didn't want to fight Rigo right away after he defeated Martinez in a rematch? There were plenty of articles on it.

Frampton even after the Martinez rematch called out Quiggs and Santa Cruz but not Rigo.

Frampton even said after the Martinez rematch he wanted Quiggs or Santa Cruz.

It's pretty obvious what he meant. He believes that Frampton is the best in the world. I don't think it's cos of a win over Chris Avalos....I think there might be slightly more to it than that, don't you?

They said Rigondeaux doesn't sell tickets and doesn't have a TV deal....not that they would never fight him. Big difference.

He tried to make the Santa Cruz fight before he fought Kiko but clearly Santa Cruz isn't interesting in fighting anyone. Of course he wants Quigg, it's the biggest fight out there for him. He has said that after he deals with Quigg, he wants to challenge himself against Rigondeaux - I have no reason yet not to believe him.

Judge him when that time comes, no need to **** on a fighter who is doing what he's supposed to do.

Before talking about Rigo vs Frampton, Can Frampton beat Nonito? seriously if Nonito never left the division or fought Rigo, I would like to see how Frampton or Quigg would have dealt with him.

Never did I state that Frampton would never fight Rigo, it's just that he would rather fight X fighter first before Rigo because of the lack of "money' which I think is a BS excuse. There shouldn't be any excuse not to fight a top opponent, of course this is no longer an issue. Frampton is ready for Rigo. I'll admit I'm biased towards Rigo, but in no way I'm discrediting Frampton's accomplishments.

As for Rigo vs Frampton, Rigo is still looking for an opponent and after he beats who ever he faces, he will fight Frampton this year or early next year hopefully. Sources are saying he's looking to fight Shingo Wake, although unknown is at least a top 10 jfw, maybe he might fights Quiggs.

BS excuses? No it's just reality. Boxers fight for money. Rigondeaux fights for money too, he's not above it. The money fight in the division is against Quigg and it's clearly in his best interests to take that first.

After he beats Quigg, there's no one else left seeing as Santa Cruz will have run off to featherweight. Rigo-Frampton will have to happen.

The Rigondeaux effect seems to be the phenomenon that makes all his diehard fans a bunch of whiny b1tches.

People are allowed to have their opinions. He believes that Frampton is better than Rigondeaux. He's allowed to think that. Stop treating Rigondeaux as some kind of deity.

He is a deity. We know you are from the UK and all so, you cant really see past your little island. But Rigondeaux is god.

I'm a big fan of Rigo so I am well aware of his ability. I just think his diehard fans have become a bit b1tchy. One of them made a thread last week about Abner Mares "insulting" him when he actually complimented Rigo a lot in the video. It was ridiculous.

Everyone knows how good Rigo is, his fans don't need to attack other boxers just for the sake of b1tching.

I get it, Rigondeaux is fighting Asian fishermen and you have to watch on choppy ass streams that keep buffering every 2 seconds but that's not Frampton's fault. Rigondeaux didn't get the Santa Cruz fight so you're frustrated and have to lash out at other fighters.

Frampton has done everything that has been expected of him and more in just 20 fights. I have no reason to believe he won't keep on that same trajectory.

If he suddenly turns into a b1tch then by all means criticise him but don't just blindly **** on the guy because you're frustrated about Rigondeaux's flagging career.

AKA, dont **** on my guy because he wont fight Rigondeaux.

Lets be honest, nobody in the division is even close to being on Rigondeaux level.

They are all 3 levels below him, which is why none of them are interested in fighting him.

All the talk of, oh there is no money in fighting Rigondeaux. Thats right, there isn't money in fighting him, because you take a loss, and can't demand over inflated pay days anymore.

He kicks you off the gravy train.
