A Look At Rigondeaux's Resume And What He's Done To Be Considered So Great

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by CASH_718, Oct 24, 2012.


  1. Ramos, got a lucky punch to win the title. Ndlovu is better IMO.

    Took Cab at the height of his powers to a SD.

    Seriously you don't think Rigo needs to step up his game?

    Rigo's chin is made from 100% pure Cuban sugar glass.
     
  4. If I was Rigo I would take these big fights fast, because Donaire ain't going to wait around forever.

    He move up to 126lbs with in the next 18 months

    And Rigo needs to be fighting much more often, or against better opponents.

    Step up his game? That's not the point. He shouldn't be asked to prove himself when other guys like Mathebula and Vasquez are even less proven than him...and they have more fights.

    11 fights in and already has a belt, win over former champ, and some decent wins over some C level guys.

    I have no problem with Donaire not fighting him right now, but his reasoning is utter bull****. The only thing Mathebula had was height and the IBF strap. Rigo has 2 gold medals and the WBA strap. Vasquez is only relevant because his father was a great fighter. He's still a prospect in some regards, but he got moved up too soon.

    Rigo will be past prime within 2 years. His style will not age well. What I'm saying is that Mathebula and Vasquez haven't beaten anyone even on a B level guy like Agbeko's level, but Rigo has to?

    There isn't one.I like how nonito fans bash Rigo yet they praise their hero/idol for fighting a 118lb 5'2 midget in narvaez for 122lb title he had no business being in.They say rigo is an unknown & has no fan base yet they go for a real unknown in mathebula lol, smh the hypocrisy doesn't stop.Same thing Canelo,broner & many other fighters do.I feel they hate Rigo because deep down inside they feel threatened.How could someone call the cuban a bum who's technically damn near flawless(What does that make those keyboard warriors?).I don't like nonito don't hate him either & sure as hell don't go calling him a bum cause no fighter who fights for a living is a bum.Sure some are overrated but rigos far from that.They criticize rigo for not fighting top 10 he's called out the whole division it's not his fault they don't want to fight him.He can't put a gun to their head & make them fight.
     
  8. Donaire just moved up the division and already he got 3 titles in 3 fights.

    Whilst Rigo is busy fighting the Kennedy's and Marroquin's of this world.

    If I was Donaire the fight I would be looking to would be the winner of Mares vs Moreno, and if that doesn't come off then Poonsawat, then move up.

    If Rigo want a piece of the action then fight Mares vs Moreno winner or Poonsawat.

    Rigo and his fans have to realise the boxing world does not revolve around him, and while he is standing still other are streaking ahead.

    Why do you keep demanding fights that you know won't happen? Poonsawat has fought outside of Thailand maybe twice his entire career. Mares and Moreno are Golden Boy. Stop.

    Facts: Donaire (#1) and Rigondeaux (#2) are in the same promotion and one of them doesn't want the fight.
     
  10. Well he been a pro for over 3 years now, what is his excuse of only having 11 fights?

    Instead of bitching and moaning, get on and fight.
     
  11. Then go to Thailand and face him, oh wait that might be risky.

    Well maybe he isn't that good after all.
     
  12. And Golden Boy and Top Rank have co-promoted many event, so don't give me that.

    Donaire won't even go to Mexico City to fight shot-to-**** former flyweights. :rofl:lol::patsch

    What recently have they promoted? Vanes-Lara, which went to a purse bid?
     
  15. He doesn't need to.

    Rigo needs to something, or he will waste his career.
