    i mean after going a full round with jazza you would need a lengthy lay off to recover, good thing cotto kirkland got cancelled, it will give rigo more time to recover

    If Rigondeaux didn't perform a dirty protest everytime he was on TV, I'm sure he'd be offered more dates. Rigo "I know, I've got this huge platform of the Cotto-Canelo undercard and someone who offers no threat- I'm going to completely stink the joint out to make sure they don't want me back on this channel'.

    I've got to give Rigondeaux credit, he is a bit more creative than most at his way of making sure fights with big names don't happen. He's laughing all they way to the bank that Roc Nation decide to use him as a front to launder their money. Particularly when they won't work with any of the other top promoters. Although Rigo fans need to lay off the glue if they think the likes of Jazza are the best fighters willing to fight him.

    Tim will come when Rigo looks back and asks himself just why did he turn down so many offers.

    I think people think Rigoendeaux is more bothered about this than he is. He don't give 2 ****s. Since he got that contract with Roc Nation he got 10m. It's up to Roc Nation to find him opponents. In his shoes. I'd be thinking the more of a bum they are, the better.

    I'm not sure he's paid like that, but I believe he's on some sort of guarantee where he is getting 10m for a number of fights or over a number of years. So in his shoes, why fight Lomachenko when you could fight Jazza.

    Unfortunately, there's truth to this. Rigo has had a few occasions to try and entertain the crowd. Now that doesn't mean go face first w/o defense, but he easily could have upped his output, maybe gone for the kill when his opponent was clearly out of his league.

    That reminds me, i don’t know anything about his deal with Roc Nation.
    7 fight deal, 4 years, 1.4mil per fight. Not bad.

    I don't see why so many people hate rig. I seen a couple of his fights hes not really boring to watch. anyone who says he is doesn't truly love boxing.

    loooool, pound for pound Rigo is one of the best , top 5 easy in the world.

    Only GGG beats him and maybe Crawford,

    Otherwise, the dude looks unbeatable. looool I feel for these guys waiting for father time to age him, How can father time age a perfected technique.

    This new gen is different, they aint like roy jones and Ali, purely relying on athletic ability. they got skills......tekkers bruuv. tekkers dont age, it gets better. Boxing is evolving guys, only good young athletic and skillful boxers with tekkers will defeat Rigo. Sad thing is, the only dude that had a chance was lomo, and even then I believe Rigo would be favourite.

    Rigo here till his 40s, wbo will lose there champ again and have to find some dead excuse to strip him loooool.

    You guys all know Rigo is a potential ATG. just dominating , the lineal champ at bantumweight.
