Official rule of boxing, Its not ducking if its Rigondeux

Delusional fan boy. Loma was ready to face Rigo at 126: 4 measly pounds... the same 4 pounds you want Canelo to move up for Triple G...

Santa Cruz called out Rigo right now for a fight... Rigo is hiding scared...

Rigo gets dropped by cab drivers all the time... Santa Cruz is ready to fight..tell Rigo to stop cherry-picking overhyped Europeans and take a real fight..

Canelo is a legitimate middleweight who is seeking refuge at 155. I like Canelo but facts are facts.

Unless some news came out that I'm unaware of, last I knew Rigo said he would move up to fight LSC. When did LSC call Rigo out and Rigo duck? I could be wrong but I haven't heard anything like that and the pattern thus far has been LSC ducking Rigo.

If Frampton moves up to fight LSC then you can't really fault him for going after the big money fight instead of Rigo. That said, I was hopeful he'd take the fight with Rigo, although after watching the Quigg fight, I doubt he'd beat Rigo.

My sentiments as well. Between his fight with Quigg and the fight prior with the green Mexican kid, I'm starating to feel he's not as good as I had previously thought.

Quigg could've win their fight if he hadn't started so late. Frampton didn't really have anything for him honestly if you ask me, and i was pulling for Frampton.

I think Rigo would pick him apart and probably stop him.

I recall Rigo being dropped by some Japanese nobody rather recently, and Nonito knocked him down and hurt him as well.

I'm not claiming that Frampton would be the favourite or anything like that and I'm not claiming that Frampton is on the same level as Donaire, but he does have excellent timing and power.

Frampton got dropped by young inexperienced Mexican kid in a fight that was supposed to be a showcase. He may have been dropped twice by the kid, can't quite remember so don't take my word on it.

Framptons power seemed absent against Quigg. He was throwing repetitive combos that weren't landing and when they did they didn't appear to have near the steam that Quiggs had on his.

When fighters duck Rigo its "shame on them" and rightfully so. But when fighters duck/avoid/vacate belts to not fight GGG somehow its GGG's fault.

[koolbreez12]

BAM!

You verbalized exactly what I've been thinking as I scroll though all these posts.

Yup. Me too. And there are people calling themselves fans that defend the bs. The best need to fight the best period. This is why boxing is becoming a joke.

[MDPopescu]

Frampton just fought and beat the third best man in the division & a world champion. Rigo hasn't faced a legit opponent in 3 years.

Maybe he ducked them, right?

This is boxing now. Everybody wants to be rich and/or famous but nobody wants to be great anymore.

I don't even know what to say anymore, man. It is what it is. Complaining about it is like spitting into the wind. People support this kind of activity, and it'll continue until they don't.
