whys rigondeaux rated so highly?

[DuckAdonis]

His skills are ****ing crazy

[CubanGuyNYC]

yeah i watched it live. it was a close fight, as the scorecards and the media cards suggest. A lot of you arent answering the question, just slinging mud ' oh ggg is ****' 'u like beterbiev' 'youre an idiot', why dont you actually try provide a reason as to why you are convinced he is a top, elite fighter despite not doing **** in 4 years?

I was at that fight, and I watched it again twice more on TV. Wasn't even close to being close. It was a master-class against a world class fighter. I was proud of Rigo that night, although things have since changed.

Who at ESPN had that score? What does that even mean? A writer scored it that, the fans scored it that, polls had it that? I don't understand what that means.

I don't give a fcuk who had it what, it was a wide margin loss for Donaire. Look at his face after the fight, purple!

Agreed. Rigo made a highly regarded fighter (at the time) look less-than-average. Not too often you see that. I forgot my exact score, but I didn't have Nonito winning more than one or two rounds.

Lets see the proof he ducked Lomachenko? Surely you have proof correct?

yes. he turned the fight down when loma wanted to fight at 126. now hes pretending he wants to fight and that they shold give him 750k when he fights on undercards??? he doesnt want to fight hes just takling big since he has almost no fanbase but he wants to stay relevant. hes too scarerd to step into the ring and lose because his career will be over so i understand his decision. he would rather make a decent living then go for the top. i would prob do the same so i dont mind but to pretend to want to fight just to trick low info fanboys is pretty low. stay at 122 and make a living but if you are too scared dont trick dumb people thats just mean

Lol, you know when someone doesnt know **** about boxing the very moment he asks you why rigo is rated so high.

Man, if you have watched rigo fighting, and you dont know why he is rated so high, you better go watch curling.

Rigo and his team fucked up when negotiating that 126 fight. They misjudged Lomo and his seriousness in moving up the weight-classes. Also, they have a track record of being unreasonable. It was a fuck up, in my opinion, not a duck.

Now Rigo wants to fight at the borderline ridiculous weight of 130. I think he's serious about it. He's a 36 year-old boxer, fighting at a weight no one cares about. I think reality is starting to breath down his neck, and he sees the need to take risks in order to salvage what's left of his career. I believe Rigo wants to fight, but he also won't take the fight for less than what many consider an unreasonable amount. He's between a rock and a hard place, and he put himself there...or allowed himself to be put there.

so basically the eye test unless you count a good win over 4 years ago

he's a back to back olympic gold medalist, a champion, and he has ridiculous skills.

yes im sure he will take the fight for an insane amount that hes not worth but why would loma do that??? there are 2 sides to negotiating but people are forgetting that for some reason and are telling the a-side to give the b-side everything he wants....um thats not how it works. take the fight if you want to fight. stop making insane demands that only fanboys pretend are legit

Sure man, whatever.

Try with this, boxing is not for you

This makes no sense. He isn't with Carribe anymore. He's with Roc.
It would appear the same people who f*k him up are continuing to do so.
When are they going to stop? Who is the guy using his twitter account?
