Rigo, great job arum

[Larry the boss]

That aura comes from us having seen many more floyd fights. Further rigo can be a bit more aggressive where floyd rarely is. That agressiveness always leads to exposure and thus the spectre of getting caught with a good shot. As we have seen its hard to catch rigo. Same as floyd. To bad these guys are world apart I weight. It would be a specticAl for sure.

Bull**** Floyd at 130 was way more aggressive then Rigo..stop comparing him to a 3 year old mayweather in his 4th-5th division

[Larry the boss]

what the ****? LOL. u fkin troll

He melted his gold metals down and made them gold teeth..in Cuba they will take your gold medals....

[arraamis]

rigo went from nothing to a top p4p fighter.
he went from an unpopular 122lber to "he out boxes anyone 126, maybe and even 130, too much skills"


now to answer my own poll, he WAS underrated, but NOW he is overrated.
why? because hes not untouchable like the majority of people claim him to be, and when he does get tagged, hes shown his chin isnt that solid.
is he good? yes of course. but do people priase him too much like a god? mmmm...

Rigo is a very small guy ... That stated, whenever he's been tagged (To coin the phrase) he always gets back up a whips azz like there's no tomorrow.

Just what you would expect from a Champion.

Dude you have Lomo in your avi

this thread is not about him.

fair enough, got heart. but will he be able to stand at 126 like people claim he can?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

can you explain how he became a top 5 active p4p?

Going up in weight and beating a universally recognized p4p that was reigning fighter of the year... And not just beat him, he daddy'd the bigger guy...


Name ten fighters with better wins recently?

An upward swing of four (4) pounds won't slow him down that much and commonly he would gain that after a meal. Plus it may actually help him strength-wise to not worry about making weight for a fight.

In referencing a potential fight with Lomachenko - Lomachenko would have the natural weight advantage, because he routinely fights at that weight, but skill often overcomes a weight advantage. Here's where the edge is hard to gauge, because both are highly skilled.

IMHO, Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is probably the most significant fight to happen in years because it is a hardcore fans dream match-up between two highly skilled fighters.

Overrated because he won't challenge himself and go up in weight....like Andre Ward.

[BrometheusBob.]

Rigondeaux is a hipster fan's wet dream come true. He's insanely talented but too hard to push due to his rather monotonous style, he has one great win and thus he's instantly an unsung hero, and he fights men with mysterious sounding names like Amagasa and Kokietgym.

Did I mention he's an undefeated defensive wizard and wears a gold mouthpiece made from his very own Olympic medals? Yeah, he's a bad ass like that. Oh, he raps too, which instantly propels him into some "boxing twilight zone" where he's too "hardcore" for little Timmy from Indiana too attempt to emulate him.

He is so talented, he is too small for his own weight division and yet could beat anyone from it up until 135, apparently.

Rigondeaux, the criminally overrated unsung hero.

Rofl, nice post.

I think Rigondeaux is given a little bit too much credit for his resume, but definitely not too much credit for his boxing ability. No one can beat him at 122, and he can trouble people at 126. I'd say a top 10 p4p is not complete without him right now, but top 3 no way.

Excited as **** for Loma/Rigo.

Like hagler, tzsyu, hell hopkins feasted on blown up welters, and worse middleweights than Golovkin has fought til he was 40...
Are those guys overrated???

I'm sorry, but what? He was the reigning WBA Super Bantamweight Champ for several fights going into he fight with Donaire. How exactly was he going up in weight?
