So what do you think of Rigo's legacy now?

hopefully he becomes a case study in what not to do as a boxer, forget arum, hbo, caribe, visas, etc, he's got nobody to blame but himselfComment

Lol Quigg having better opponents. The best he got was Frampton and he lost. Even tie with a mediocre Cuban boxer.In all honesty, he doesn't have a legacy worth talking about.
Both Frampton and Quigg have better opponents in a span of 2 years than Rigo has in his entire career, bar Donaire. That's ridiculous.
Rigo has/had all the skill in the world but like of many divas, he has wasted it.
And Frampton best is Quigg who never beat anybody good. And Kiko Martinez who lost every single decent fight he got.
They on the level of Cordova. Who Rigo beat.Comment

You know what? That was good enough for me. Ill take that. We had some idiots here that were ready to call DOanire an ATG right up to that point.
In any case, blackballing is real. Signing to obscure promoting outfits must not have helped either but despite the blackballing and how some fans just dont appreciate how good he is, I will always respect him for dismantling the fraud of Donaire.
If you Donaire haters were true fans of Rigo, you'd just admit the fact that Donaire was a great fighter until he lost to the cuban, Donaire is someone who truly earned his P4P spot, instead you're ****ting on him and calling him a bumAgreed! Had him seeing double/triple. Rigo derailed that hype job. Walters buried him. He has been in the rebuild re hype zone, but it is a tough sell.
Black balling is real. Rigo humiliated Donaire, and I don't need slow motion video to prove it. He probably could have stopped Donaire.
Rigo fights beautifully, he is an artist!
I mean, if Donaire was always a bum, fraud and hypejob, then Rigo's resume is effectively garbage and his legacy non existantLast edited by lopetego; 06-21-2016, 06:57 PM.Comment

really? I remember them giving him another showcase against Agbecko or something and he was on the Canelo undercard and he fking stunk it up both times...he also could have went up 4 lbs for the Lomachenko fight but didn't want to... It's his own fault, all the talent in the world and only showed it in great fashion against Donaire...he should be mopping the floor with the guys he's fighting now, not getting decision wins, getting knocked down numerous times in the process.Rigo didn't choose to fight disappointing opponents, it's a result of a Top Rank/HBO punishment for beating Donaire, and Rigo's own awful decisions.
It's a real shame, because he has done absolutely nothing since. He barely fights, and always against disappointing opponents.Comment

Yet another person who apparently stopped reading aftert he first sentence, even though I blame Rigo as well literally four or five words later.really? I remember them giving him another showcase against Agbecko or something and he was on the Canelo undercard and he fking stunk it up both times...he also could have went up 4 lbs for the Lomachenko fight but didn't want to...

This. Reality is when HBO brought him back in December to fight Agbeko, he decided to say Fawk the network and fought a super conservative fight against an Agbeko who showed up for a pay check.really? I remember them giving him another showcase against Agbecko or something and he was on the Canelo undercard and he fking stunk it up both times...he also could have went up 4 lbs for the Lomachenko fight but didn't want to... It's his own fault, all the talent in the world and only showed it in great fashion against Donaire...he should be mopping the floor with the guys he's fighting now, not getting decision wins, getting knocked down numerous times in the process.
Than two years later fought another utterly **** fight against a highly low level opponent. No one with HBO subscption wants to see that ****.Comment

I read the whole thing...I just don't know what more Top Rank and HBO could do for the guy? He stunk it up so bad they just didn't want him on the air anymore....he's so good, he could toy with the guys he's fighting yet he decides to fight in an amateur way still...Comment
