    Chavez is now with Haymon and his stock dropped dramatically. The rest are languishing in obscurity.

    It's Arum's fault doe.
    Chavez jr stock drop because his ass got drop.

    Mayweather break from arum and did better than anybody

    Rigo was rotting as well with Arum after he beat his cash cow. How is Donaire doing with Arum by the way.

    Gamboa never got a big fight under Arum his biggest fight was with Crawford after he left him.

    Mickey Garcia have not been able to fight because of contract dispute with Arum, wait until is all clear.

      Rigo has no legacy, and he probably won't have one either by the time he retires. It's a terrible shame. Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

        This is tough. He was a two time gold medalist that became unified/lineal champion in 12 fights. You can't take that away from him. Unfortunately success in boxing as more to do with what happens outside the ring.

        I think he will be the face of gifted boxers that are 1) are poorly managed and 2) fail to entertain the audience and 3) do nothing to promote themselves outside of the ring.

          Exactly.

          Mayweather break from arum and did better than anybody.
          Exactly. Rigo and others are supposed to flourish just like Mayweather, right? What's the excuse this time?

          Rigo was rotting as well with Arum after he beat his cash cow. How is Donaire doing with Arum by the way.
          Don't know about Donaire's status with Arum, but the Filipino fighter managed to get active with or without Arum. What's your point here? It's what you do after you left the old man, not recycle the garbage and blame everyone but yourself.

          Gamboa never got a big fight under Arum his biggest fight was with Crawford after he left him.
          Gamboa left Arum to join his idols, TBE/Haymon. They didn't give a crap about him. They just let him rot. So what's your excuse after he left Arum?

          Mickey Garcia have not been able to fight because of contract dispute with Arum, wait until is all clear.
          Yep. He too left Arum to join team Mayweather/Haymon. Two years of doing nothing and still hasn't decided where he's going with.

            Such potential, so many questions, so many missed opportunities. I feel like his legacy has turned into this;

            Just a shame.

              Seems to be a cuban thing. Talk alot of smack, rarely fight, and then act like you are owed giant paydays.

                  He'll be known as the 2x Gold Medalist that cured insomnia. A medical genius who'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame for his important contributions to medical science.

                    Rigo slapped Donire off the pound for pound list. Walters crushed him.
                    Those Two Ruined Donire.

                    I want to see Rigo fight! He is an amazing fighter.
