    So is it one standard for GGG and another for Rigo?

    Rigo can't get big fights but hasn't moved up. He's obviously great and he gets tons of love here on the forums.
    GGG can't get big fights but hasn't moved up. He's less obviously great and gets tons of hate here on the forums.

    What gives?

    You're right he should call out 108 pounders

      Don't kid yourself. People regard Rigo's career as a waste of talent. There was a thread about it last month and pretty much everyone regarded it as a joke. He's getting praise for a real impressive feat today, but no one is saying that he has any kind of legacy. "Mismanaged" and Rigo are almost synonymous terms.

        Look at Rigo's skin color and you know why.

          Damn you're pathetic. Look around. How many white people do you see sitting around Paneta Bread talking about boxing?

          ********** drive this sport. The white fan base is easily the smallest of all.

            Rigo is small and doesn't appear comfortable with the idea of fighting at a higher weight. As opposed to Golovkin who has several times shown interest in matchups available at 168 (except when it comes to Andre Ward.)

                Where's all this "love" Rigo is getting? You guys are pretty shameless.

                    well look on the bright side. Rigo and Lil'G are the same age, one has close to 500 amateur bouts, more amateur championships, won a Lineal, 2 Gold medals.

                    yeah it's clearly the same.
