There is a depth of talent for him to fight anywhere from 122-126. Seriously, WTF has he been waiting for?

    Luis Ortiz falls into that category as well. Golden Boy featured 3 of fights on HBO and had him lined up for a vacant title fight against Alexander Ustinov on the Canelo-Smith PPV. Ortiz demanded more money and was told to go **** himself.

    Ortiz is now under contract with Al Haymon and still waiting on a title fight.

    WAR! CUBA!!!
    you are so right. I remember quigg, frampton, st+, mares all want it to fight Rigondeaux. But I don't know why those fights never took place. Do you know why? By the way Ortiz never demanded $h1t you are making that up...

      He's desperate for a relevant fight. Why his tune was different when Lomachenko was 126? Rigo was on video, saying that Lomachenko is too big for him so he is not interested in the fight.

        Rigo is too small. He had the opportunity to have a great career but he's pissed most of it away.

          He also say that he will fight him at 124 or 126 with a 10 lbs clause. The guy is a midget. He fights at 122 and only goes up 3 or 4 pounds the night of the fight while other fighters gains from 15 to 20 pounds. Nonito was over 139 pounds the night they fought.

            why? because fraptom, quigg, ts+, mares and others ran away from him? Just tell me who on his weight class that is relevant, wants to fight him?

                Yea, nope'ing 500k was ******. Even the king of light guys Chocolatito doesn't get paid like that. He makes around 300k to 100k.
                I don't think Rigo is scared of him, Rigo eats him at breakfast. It was just a ****** move because Cuban comrades don't fall for money.

                  As some others have said, Rigo is too small. Loma's at 130 and about to move up to 135, he's finished with 126. Not a fan of the guy but the best option for Rigo is someone like Russell or Frampton at 126.

                      rigo has had his chances after nonito and screwed them all, he's become irrelevant even among cuban fans, he is looked at as what not to do in boxing
