    It's Ok to criticize GGG for not moving up.. but nobody criticizes RIgo...hmmm

    the funny thing is inthe lower weight divisions .. theres no excuse not to move up as
    its only a few pounds up in every weight class!!!! all the guys rigo has been linked with in recent years have all moved up weight in that time.. frampton, lomachenko, quigg, santa cruz, etc.. but boring rigo stays put.

    Rigo never moves up, and he hasn't faced anyone with a pulse since the Donaire fight.. his only good win. Rigondeaux is a coward.

    He's too small, duh. He weighs 125lbs on fight night.
    He should move down and face better opponents than the bozos at 122.
    GGG doesn't need to move up. Hagler didn't, why should GGG?

    well whatever up ,down.. duuh! if hes a great fighter he'll chase greatness but he has no desire, great fighters give up a little in weight. We are only asking for him to go or down up a measly 4 POUNDS! The difference between middleweight and super middle is double the difference of super bantam to feather.

    He's hardly a massive SBW. Would still like to see him move up to feather though. Question is, will any of the big guns up there fight him? He has to do something. His career is in limbo right now.

    Doesn't move up? He doesn't even fight at all lol.
    The dude fight twice only in the last 3 years. I think he is one the most talented fighters that come along for a while along with Lomachenko.
    I don't know who's to blame, such a waste of talent really. He is 36 now, for lower weight class, he is primed for the taking.

    Well hey... this is the business he's chosen! Needs to get with Louis Ortiz on how to add some solid weight. I'm sure Louis could help him right out!

    Calling a pro boxer a coward is an insult to this forum I wish you could get in the ring with Rigo also you don't mention why all the above fighters left the division.

    Rigs is 5'2 1/2 5'3 max. He has also entered the ring at 122 pounds for some fights allegedly. He is the smallest man at 122. He should probably move down if anything.

    You have to decide if this is a question or a statement.

    Rigo's fighting on the Ward-Kov undercard. Against Moises Flores. A tall skinny guy who throws nicely with leverage but who's simple pretty average. I'm looking forward to seeing him in action however it turns out.

    Rigo's a small guy, he's actually as close to Chocolatito in size as he is to Loma. I'd like to see him at bantam vs Yamanaka. He fought in Japan in a pretty exciting show, they could make it work. Or even catchweight fights vs Chocolatito, Estrada, or Inoue. The guys at 126 aren't so keen to fight him, and if 122 is thin try to fight bigger names just south.
