    If Inoue moves up to 122 after beating Donaire, could he beat Rigo, who's the top fighter at the weight according to the TBRB?

    Rigo has lost his last two fights in a row and was KDd in the 8th round in his last fight. Inoue would probably KO him in the first round. He's too old for it to be an entertaining question.

    Definitely, and by KO. But with Rigos negative style, it may not be a good fight to watch.

    Rigo in his prime would have a field day which is why cowards like Frampton avoided him.

    Rigo is a bum. Inoue knocks him out.

    How can you call Rigondeaux a bum ? He’s old and washed, but to call him a bum is despicable…..

    Do you even follow boxing?Rigo just got beat by some dude who wouldnt last a round with Inoue , hes finished.

    Even in his prime he would be food for Inoue .

    Rigo is very overrated and most of the ppl who overrate him are guys who only saw him fight once (against Donaire).

    Hell no he wouldn't rigo could outbox inoue and he had big power and could hurt or stop inoue. You couldn't be more wrong. Prime for prime rigo is the favorite. Rigo also beat donaire easier and beat a better donaire.

    Honestly I think I would favor Rigo. When you think about it an old Donaire was lighting up Inoue. Can Inoue handle a prime Donaire or Rigo? I don't know. Probably not.

    You called an Olympic Gold Medalist and former World Champion a bum. I can’t tell whether you’re trolling or not.
