      I agree, man. Like I said, Rigo and his team are unreasonable people. That's partly why Guille's talent has all but rotted on the vine. Such a waste of talent. But I'm through feeling sorry for his ass. Too much foolishness.

        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?
        I don't know who Rigo was with when that fight was being tossed around. Caribe was a joke, but Roc hasn't exactly been a boon for Rigo's career either. I don't know who's making tweets for him. Guillermo doesn't speak English, much less write it. Reading some of those ****** tweets gives you an idea of the clowns surrounding this man. Aside from Donaire, Rigo's career has been an utter waste.

          Try with this, boxing is not for you

          its been over 4 years. how can you still have him at the top? based on the past? what other sport do you do nothing at all and after 4 years still remain on top? an entire olympics has gone by and he hasnt fought anyone.

          unlike you i would say the same about any fighter who hasnt done anything in over 4 years. maybe hes good maybe not. we dont know. i guess we can watch old clips and be nostalgic and pretend.

            Thanks man for admitting the guy tweeting is not him.
            Reminds of when Leo Santa Cruz confronted Rigo in a parking lot asking him if he were the one bugging him on social media.
            Of course, Rigo denied it. Wish I have saved that video..

              It is what it is, bro. It's a circus with that guy. Sadly, many of the Cuban fighters wound up with terrible management. Gamboa was possibly the worst...crash and burn. Solís was a horror-show. Lara did best, but his management is shaky as well. He has some dickhead (rumored to be his manager, Luis DeCubas Jr.) tweeting for him, too. I just throw my hands up. It's an embarrassment.

                Guy is an idiot. Good fighter but there are bums making 1-2 million a fight. He needs to shut up, win whatever fights come to him and get his name out there. He wants things handed to him. Pricing himself out with Loma looks bad too. Take what you can get, beat him if youre so good and ****, money. Cuban fighters have like half a brain

                  I hope I don't offend, but I don't see any proof, just some dude on a website typing letters. I'll take my proof with sources please, credible if you don't mind. Thanks!

                    He has always been very good. He always wins and he beat Donaire when Donaire was beating everybody. He suddenly became even better when the Loma haters needed a guy to beat Loma in a fantasy fight that will never happen. He is the best 122 pound boxer in the world. Nobody can beat him at that weight even at the age of 36.

                      One of the greatest amateur boxers ever and obviously something of a boxing genius, pretty obvious why he is rated so highly. He's got it all - besides a chin, an entertaining style and a competent team that actually understands the business of boxing that is.
