A fighter has to throw punches when he needs to throw them, not to increase punching stats. If you are not able to acomplish that you are only a middle class fighter ... just that simple ... and that is what Rigo is showing the boxing world by defeating punching machines ... furthermore I don't know whar are you talking about, cause Rigo averaged 40 punches per round against Donaire ... and in that fight Rigo was picking his punches ...
Because everyone in the division knows they cant beat him, and their isnt the money available to make it worth while to loose to him
It has to be Erislandy Lara... Would have said Rigo, But he has already received his "Superfight". (Vs. Donaire) Lara still out there waiting.
Honestly it's not his fault he's so much better than everyone else. He's a master and won't change his style just because somebody doesn't like it.
Donaire v Darchinyan is exciting fight? Donaire already starched this dude SIX years ago and Darchinyan is 37 now.
The man is right , He is being avoided. If he is so boring then why don't a balls to the walls go getter fighter challenge him. He got the titles and would be a large bump in any fighters resume. What about Santa Cruz, that would be a great fight and I give Leo a 50/50 shot. Having said that, I think somebody mentioned that Rigs refuses to move up and challenge at 126. If that is the case then he is partly responsible for some of his woes.
Pacquiao - Bradley, Floyd and Marquez all turned him down, Rios is the only guy who would step up and fight him
