    Rigondeaux has the Super version :bbb

    WBA is complete and utter bollocks :bart

    I cringe every time I hear Jim Watt and Eddie Hearn make out like Quigg is a True World Champion. :dead

    Don't get me wrong, I like the fella Quigg, he's a good fighter but his team didn't even mention Rigo's name after his last fight :deal

    He's never mentioned Rigo, it's as if he doesn't exist, he only mentions fighters Frampton has mentioned without actually wanting to fight the man himself... I think sky, match room and smoking joes stable r the only ppl who consider him a world champ

    Maybe Im Old skill but I always thought u had to actually win a world championship to be crowned a world chmp not given one

    It's a pitty because it's really taken the crown off winning a world title for him

    At least he has the dignity to refuse the title

    However maybe that would have been different if Canelo hadent have been gifted the WBC belt first off

    No!

    Nice bloke & I wish him well but he ain't the WBA champ until he beats Rigo,which we all know isn't happening!

    To be fair, Eddie Hearn has mentioned Rigo in a few interviews and he's been very honest. He brings little to the table and is very high risk.....at least he's honest.

    No and anyone who does isn't a boxing fan, the regular title hurts the sport. It allows very average fighters be lined up and sold as title defenses, Quiggs opponent who was ranked 88th comes to mind someone with that ranking should not be getting any form of world title shot. People will think the sport is gone to **** if that is a world title opponent because they won't no different that these guys are not near world level but they think oh yeah world title fight, then damn what a **** fighter boxing really gone down if that's a world contender ect.

    I must have missed Eddie ever mentioning Rigos name

    However I don't agree that actually trying to become the world champ you are telling the world u are is high risk

    Any other situation ye but not in Quiggs
