    im not a big fan of rigo but cant help but admire his abilities. That being said moving to 126 would be a big mountain to climb and if he is able to reach the top his status and pay will definitely be worth the risk. but that being said he is a really small guy He wont be fighting a dehydrated jap if he was dropped by em he will definitely be hurt by guys not killing themselves to make weight. If he chooses to stay at 122 im fine with it but hhe wont be able to complain about his pay And should stop pulling the lara and quit calling out bigger guys if he's not willing to step into their doghouse

      Even if they all have better options, it makes sense for him to keep talking about the fights. Eventually maybe one will get riled up enough to fight him, like Canelo did with Lara
      and when did I say he should stop? All I'm saying is he should also attempt to take action and be grateful there are folks who actually would like to see him fight, even if it's 16 hours away.

      Again, Canelo only took Lara because he wanted to, same as Donaire. The difference between Nonito/Canelo and most of the sport's other talents is the fact that they don't mind challenging themselves. If anything that fact alone would be the primary culprit behind Nonito's loss and Alvarez's lackluster victory.

      Now, what if no one gets "riled" up and steps up? Are you saying you're contented with an immensely talented but old fighter just sitting away his career while the rest of the world moves on? If so... I would have to question your Rigotardation. If there's no one at 122 whom would like to fight him this side of the world and he doesn't want to move up then why the hell would his team be complaining about the opportunities that traveling to Japan provides them?

      Illogical, right? I mean, you want to be fed but the only place that is willing to do so is several miles away, are you telling me it's a shame they would make you walk those miles in order to feed you? Who's the one hungry here?

          I got Rigo over Lomachenko via UD regardless of the climb in weight.

            You're gonna slow down soon, and the other fighters at 122 are waiting for that

            So go up and dare to be greater and face the 126 champions

            If Bernard Hopkins in his 40s can become the first ever mw to go straight to LHW and become champion then rigo can go up to 126 and fight the elite guys there

            If you don't wanna move up yet keep complaining about being ducked at your weight class, then I don't wanna hear it as a boxing fan

            Complain more? I bet Quigg vacates his paper belt if he's forced to fight rigo so what's the point of singing the same tune for another year?

              I was agreeing with loma until he said this:

              "Who has he really fought besides Nonito Donaire? Tell me."

              im like motherf^cker who did you fight?

                  Really, at 126, Walters-Loma for me.

                  It would be one of those gems that us hardcore fans would understand.

                  I felt for a long time that Rigo was in between a rock and a hard place, due to his age and size when it came down to moving through divisions.

                  At '22, for right now, Frampton or a Donaire rematch seem to be his biggest paydays, from what I am seeing.

                  Could be guys moving up that might make an interesting fight.

                    Really???

                    How old was floyd there? How old is Rigo now?
