Comments Thread For: Zolani Tete: I Was Offered Rigondeaux Shot, He's Too Big For Me

[bigjavi973]

It was just a few months ago this guy and his team were calling out Rigo!

All these guys want to name drop and profess they want too fight him until the boogeyman comes knocking then he's suddenly too boring, doesn't bring enough money, is too big or some tripe.

I think Quigg one of the guys who actually gets **** on the most maybe the only semi big name who has the balls to back his talk up. Then again I've heard so many excuses and backtracking it wouldn't surprise me if he did the same too but I don't think Quigg is from the same cloth as these cowards myself.

Rigo still chasing the smaller guys. Loma has him shook.

Everyone is scared of rigo. Not chocolatito though, he'll take that fight at 118, just make him an offer.

Tete would administer a beating to Chocolatito at 115 or 118.

what the ****? lost all respect for tete, too big? tete is like 5 inches taller than him FFS.

Tete is a 115 pounder. After he KO'd Butler, Warren had him move up to 118 to fight cans, so he would be out of Butler's way at 115. The guy can still make 115, and should have gotten the eliminator to fight Inoue. Warren doesn't seem to be looking out for Tete's best interests. Sure Tete is tall, but you don't move a guy up two weight classes, like that to use him as cannon fodder, when you could line him up to take out Inoue or the Cuardas/Chocolatito winner. The guy is 28, get him some big fights at his natural weight class to build him into a bigger name, before moving him up and trying to use him as cannon fodder. Tete said, he wouldn't have a problem fighting whoever is the champ at 122, once he took care of business at 115 and 118. Not sure why people are defending Warren's ****ery on this one.

Yep... Tete is 5'9" / 175cm in height and 72" / 183cm in reach... While Rigo is 5' 4" / 162cm and 68" / 173 cm, respectively. "Rigo is too big, doe"... While Tete is as big as Floyd.

Rigondeaux isn't 5'4. He is 5'2 1/2 maybe 5'3. Tete is just coming into his own. If you have his best interests at heart, you line him up to fight Inoue, and the Chocolatito vs Cuadras winner. Build the guy into a name brand. Don't use him as cannon fodder for Rigondeaux, to move him out of Paul Butler's way.

In the same interview he also said that he wants to take care of business at 115 and then 118, and then he would have no problem moving up to 122 to fight whoever is the champ there.

Rigo wrecks any one 122 or lower. Lomachenko is the only threat in the divison above.
