Will Rigo ever get to fight a top guy?

[soul_survivor]

This guy is probably the most ducked fighter in the sport. Ever since he schooled donaire its been nothing but shameless ducking from guys like quigg, frampton, and santa cruz.

Does rigo have to move up to face a guy like loma or will he jsut retire with an underwhelming career ?

Has Rigo ever gotten into negotiations with those guys? He started pricing himself out of match ups the moment he beat Donaire and then dumped TR and got stuck with whatever crap he has been with since.

50 cent, Jay z, whoever, won't be able to deliver any top fights cos Rigo always wants too much money. He should have taken some short money early on against top names and we wouldn't have to sit through him breaking the jaws of journeymen.

Wasn't he offered Lomachenko?

[KingHippo]

Rigo was lowballed by Lomachenko's camp.

500k for Rigo wasn't enough considering that Loma was getting 850k

Rigo should expect more money since he was coming from a win against a top 5 p4p opponent.

Loma was unknown at the time and had a 4-1 record. He was unknown to even some of the most hardcore boxing fans.

This is a purist match, maximum 97k buys

Rigo was already a star at the time, Loma was the up and comer

Rigo deserved at least 50%

The title should read: "Will any of the top guys ever fight Rigo?

[DannYankee]

I don't think theres anything he can do to top the Donaire win he peaked too early but at his age it was the best move. Even if he beats Lomachenko or anybody else from 126 nothing will compare to derailing the Donaire bandwagon.

He always said he would fight Lomachenko at 124 but they don't want that he also said he's down for chocolatito at 120 aka middle ground for everyone. He's just not the kind of dumbass to give all the concessions cause he is the B side, and end up paying for it by getting Crawfored like Gamboa.

Rigo will never get a big name HBO fight again. Loma is too big now and looks to be moving even further up in weight. Wish they at least try to make that fight happen at least once more though (as Loma is the only boxer near Rigo's weight that has any chance of beating him)...

A Donaire rematch would be nice, but even if Donaire wants it, I doubt Arum/HBO would want it.

Rigo does the exact same thing as Floyd (hit and not get hit, while showing off elite level athleticism)... except one is worth a half billion dollars, and one is barely known outside of hardcore boxing circles... But tell me boxing is not about politics...

In no other sport, would an athlete of Rigo's caliber, get sidelined.

HBO won't sacrifice Chocolatito to the fires that are Rigo.

Rigo needs to break the shackles of Top Rank. He's forced to take whatever ****ty fight Arum wants to make which isn't doing him any favors.

Saying "JUST MOVE UP" is beyond ****** and that goes for Rigo as well as GGG. Their body will tell them when it is time to move up, when making weight becomes Difficult or almost impossible. Guys like GGG and Rigo are well into their 30's it is not like they're young so maybe 122 and 160 is their Max Weight Physically given their age which nobody is taken into consideration

For Rigo maybe waiting is the best move to just weight to be honest if he can't go to 126 at be at his best. Johnathan Guzman could be that challenge he so desperately wants especially if Guzman beats Wake in a few more days for the IBF Title. Maybe Jamie McDonnell moves up and fight him but yes 126 seems more appealing but who's to say if he move up they will fight him when most of them wanted no parts of him at 122
