Rigondeaux is a poorly managed talent that, from my own point of view, is a victim of his own loyalty to his laughable promotional company. To top things off, he is constantly being avoided by the rest of the talents at his division. To make matters worse, when given an opportunity to continue to carve out stardom in the land of the rising sun, his team has displayed their disagreement with the aging champion having to travel in order to secure fights.
Seeing as how Guillermo will be turning 35 this year and most likely be attempting to sit out the rest of his manager's contract that expires, according to Rigondeaux, on September of this year... The aging champion may very well become further victimize by the hands of grandfather time himself. From what seems to be a bubbling dispute between his manager, promoters and himself, it's beginning to seem as if the undefeated, unified champion will be suffering yet another set back to his once promising career.
Although it's sad to see such an incredible talent of the sweet science begin to rot away and decay while remaining on the shelf of uncertainty, I personally see Rigondeaux as a primary culprit for his own luck. While less talented men continue to reap the benefits of exaggerated pay days to face ex sparing partners, Rigondeaux continues his battles from the shadows of the ring against his most dangerous opponent to date, irrelevancy.
Although his talent in the ring can not be denied, sadly his career can and has been. Whether it be by the ever so mysterious, "power that be", his own loyalty or the ducks that plague his division, Rigondeaux needs to clarify his situation quickly, before it's too late.
Thus, my primary question. Is Rigondeaux running out of time to do something with his fading career? Or will the talented champion be remembered as a flash in the pan that was once on the brink of burning down Hell's Kitchen with his sheer genius?
Although the spoils of war may have been great after dominating Donaire several years back, one would be picking at a carcass at this point if he would continue to attempt to banquet off that lone victory. Although moving up in weight would be a logical suggestion from many folks including myself, it seems very unlikely at this point.
With that said, feel free to express how you feel regarding Rigondeaux and his underdeveloped professional career. Wether you find yourself disappointed with him, his management, etc...

. I agree. Lomachenko, Mares, Walters, maybe Russel Jr, would all be really good names on his resume
