    No one wants to fight him because he is good and is very very very very boring. Should have stayed an amateur. His skills are great but his ring mentality isn't for the pros.

      How can u be a boxing fan and not respect Rigo....he too high risk no reward so he is ducked blatantly. He should swallow his pride and move up. Or he will end up like gamboa.

        One thing I suspect, is that with the level of comp he's been fighting, we'll never know if he's fading (or how good he really was). One day, he'll be past-prime, fight a decent competitor and get ran over. People will claim he was never that good but it'll be a case of having declined without anyone noticing.

        Whenever his prime was, he wasn't able to fight high level comp that would allow him to shine and that'll be another unfortunate factor in his legacy.

          A detriment to professional boxing and bad for the sport. The sooner he retires, the better.

            I mean, if Donaire was always a bum, fraud and hypejob, then Rigo's resume is effectively garbage and his legacy non existant
            Donaire is a great fighter. He was better when he fought out of Garcia's gym.
            P4p nope! He had big nuts to fight Walters. Walters was too big. Donaire is used to being the bigger man in the ring.

            Rigo derailed Donaire. Took him to Sweet Science University.
            The post fight interview was great. Rigo is very intelligent. No shame in losing to a smaller man for Donaire.

            Rigo is an artist. Awesome performance.

              Than two years later fought another utterly **** fight against a highly low level opponent. No one with HBO subscption wants to see that ****.
              Hbo fans want Wade and Tony Thompson main events.

                They on the level of Cordova. Who Rigo beat.
                That's not true and you know it. Rigo has been fighting fringe contenders and is now fighting Jazza who?

                Pound for Pound though, am I right?

                  Why cant I enjoy Rigo exposing a fraud? Please, go hug Nonitos nuts some more clown. You must have been one of the idiots calling him an ATG to get this salty.

                  Here, quench your thirst bruh

                    Donaire is a fraud. No one should end his career defeating a fraud. A legacy with a single win against a fraud is just so embarrassing and ******. Right, doe?

                      Rigo is pretty arrogant, and that it his problem, he thinks he is bigger than boxing, and no one is bigger than the sport itself, he only won his last fights by the necessary when he should and could have knocked those guys out, know even with all the talent he had, he is in the shadow.
