Comments Thread For: Arum Sounds Off on Lomachenko-Rigondeaux Possibility!

[RetroSpeed05]

This is getting ridiculous right now. Roc, Top Rank, Haymon, golden boy, K2, its honestly not even worth to watch boxing anymore. Whats the point if the best fights are getting stopped from being made because of promoters. UFC at least they have there ratings and the 1 always fights the real champ of the division.

Because Tapia got knocked the **** out in his hometown.

That may have contribute to a few people leaving but not half the bloody arena, and half the TV audience who turned off their TV.

Rigo just doesn't give a f***! Arum is an greedy old fart, but he wasn't wrong when it came to Rigo. He tried to help him out and Rigo would simply ignore Arums pleas and do what ever he wanted.

Just look at his lousy performance this Saturday.

Any boxer can fight like a **** if they would have short training camp session.I dont blame Rigo for that shyt.

Do you not realize they're not even the same situations? Golovkin was ready to fly to England to fight froch and have it at 168, but only 164 for ward. the equivalent would be if Rigo was in talks to fight Walters at 126 but offered 124 to loma. Which never happened. So no it's not hypocritical. I wouldn't bash Golovkin for the cw if he wasn't begging to fight froch and jcc at 168

They hypocrisy is you're OK with Rigo asking for a catchweight to fight a bigger guy, but you wouldn't be OK with GGG asking for one.

And since you mentioned not being the same situation in the first sentence you wrote, you do realize fighting Froch and JCC are not the same as fighting Ward right?

[MC Hammer]

I can't even be mad because while rigo can be entertaining (I personally liked the Donaire fight) that last one was god-awful. I mean he had a guy he could try some tricks on (no ****), but bare minimumed it out. If he keeps going like that I put him in the Shawn Porter category-good, but unwatchable

Well of course you don't since your one of a handful of Rigo fans.

And while yes any fighter can have a bad fight, this is a constant with Rigo. And i love the ridiculous respond from Rigo fans who say he just needs the right opponent to make him shine. Really? Would we be saying this about anyone else? "Oh Robert Guerrero is a good fighter he just needs the right opponent to make him shine."

Dirk likes to play dumb and flip flop to get his point across

Flip flop?

You, Dunn and ShoulderRoll are flopping around like epileptic fish.

Rigo asks for cathcweights, rehydration clauses and unrealistic purses and its all good

Whereas you would slaughter Golovkin for doing the same.

Rigondeaux was happy to fight that lanky sushi vendor in Japan last year who rehydrated to above 140lbs apparently.

Same exact situation as GGG I'm not sure but didn't he say he would go up to 126 to fight LSC and mares

as if he knew what his rehydration would be lol. He also made the 122 limit.
