        Rigo is a Wizard! He quit against Lomochenko though but that fight looked like a exhibition, Lomo just made it look easy that night.

        imagine if he came to the states in his prime, he would of been undisputed at 118 and 122lb during that time. Unfortunately he started late in his pro career.

          I'm reading that he was one of the all-time greats at 122 lbs. He was allegedly better than Pac and Mayweather at those ages. Woulda been favored against most fighters that weight.

            1 good win in whole career, didnt do a whole lot else. overrated cause he was cuban , couldnt land a punch on lomachenko and quit when he couldnt get his own way after a few rounds.

              Step back counter. Occasionally caught you by surprise with a stand and counter (usually involving a muderous bodyshot). Couldn’t or wouldn’t lead for sht. Made for some serious nothing fights when the other guy decided he wasn’t going to lead neither.

                Never watched a ton of the little guys, but I always liked Rigo's style and his accolades are hard to slight
