    He is a smaller dude so not good.

    Salido would flat out walk him down and destroy him.
    Mikey is just too big and too skilled. Best jab in the business. (Rigo was KD by a jab..)
    John is also too big and skilled.
    Celestino and Gonzalez he might beat but both can also put him out.

    OMG, Rigo losing? :lol::lol::lol:

    We are talking about former amateur King and former amateur P4P #1 here! Even though he might struggle a bit because of the size and weight difference I am sure Rigo deeps into his great boxing skills and beats them. Remember, Rigo was actually better than Gamboa in the amateurs and Gamboa played with Salido!

    It's very possible that we will see Rigo in 126 as he will be chasing chicken Don~aire. Rigo cleans up 126 pounds! ;)

    It is just hard to really judge Rigo since his competition level has been mediocre. Not terrible but no where the level of Mikey and Salido.

    I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Let us see him first with better comp at his current weight class.

    I think John could provide some problems stylistically; he has a nice jab and can box-and-move well on the outside. He's shown in his last couple of fights, he can stand and fight on the inside too. This might not provide fireworks but it'd be a very interesting chess match.

    Salido would be tough because he's big, could most likely walk through anything Rigo has to offer (aside from that left-hook to the body if t lands clean) and would still be applying pressure at the end. I'll take Rigo but he'd have to work for every last second.

    I'd favour Rigo over anyone else - much as I like Gonzalez, I think he could even get stopped.

    Hopefully, he can face Mares before moving up though, there's a young, strong fighter who would offer a stern test.

    Salido: 50-50. It would be another rigo-cordoba style, salido would push rigo unto the limits and tries to run his bicycle all over again, trying to just win on points by potshotting. but salido is just too big and his pressure would succumb rigo TKO.

    John: Boring close UD. I dont want to watch this ****, but it would be a good tactical battle. Rigo would initiate his offense while John counters rigo and boxes him beautifully. John wins by close UD.

    Mikey: Mikey kills Rigo by jab alone (thanks Isal for the greatest ESB quote of all time).

    Celestino and Johnny G: Rigo ****s them up. Celestino would box beautifully but Rigo is faster than the old horseman.
