    I'm sure you're trolling with that statement.

    Frampton would be schooled.

    LSC would be pulled by his corner after a one sided drubbing.

    He wanted out of his contract he's not the first or last to have a dispute with his manager Japan loves him he's been there few times for your info Gary signed him while he was in Cuba having a hard time according to many people for a lousy $500.00.

    fact of the matter is he overestimated he's worth, wasted 4 years of he's career and is now earning dirty money from roc nation that is money laundering

    Trolling by lying? I've often said Rigs should move down to 118 for a fight or two as he said his in ring weight was 122 for one of his recent fights.

    Never was a good blood between both, Rigo living here and him in Europe, Gary sent Rigo to LA under Roach the reality he was very miserable living there he wanted to be in Florida. Who cares where the money comes from you get what you paid for.

    What could have been. He is more talented than the current top 5 p4p.

    Even if you are not a big fan of them personally, it is still disappointing and frustrating,as a boxing fan to see boxers like Rigondeaux entering the twilight of their careers,seemingly just wasting their talent away through inactivity and lack of matchups that that could both showcase their abilities and capture fans interest.

    Fellow Cuban, Luis Ortiz is just the same. He's 38 now and I doubt if he will get any better at that age. Regardless of how talented you think he is, you would still like to see him take a chance and get involved in some exciting matchups against the bigger names in the division yet it's seems that he's just wasting what time he has left by drifting along into his 40s without having any meaningful fights. At least Rigo has won a title and establish a rep as one of the best in the world even if you still think he could or should have done more.

    He's boring for most to watch. I'm personally entertained by him, although I'm not entertained by him fighting C graders, whatsoever.

    Move down to 118 and bolster his resume by fighting Shinsuke Yamanaka, Naoya Inoue, Takuma Inoue.

    Rigo's not at fault for his opponents ducking him, same with GGG, I hate that **** when fighters are blamed for their own division ducking them and that means you have to go fight some unrealistic challenges.
