Darchinyan, Sidorenko and Montiel were the ladders. Those above (including Narvaez,Marquez and Mthalane) are already platforms at the risen ladder. And of course the recent Nishioka was the latest ladder.
let me explain this: Mathebula best fight was a close loss to Caballero,same Caballero who lost to Ricardo Cordoba(got knock down along the fight). Vasquez Jr best fight was losing by KO against old Arce.He had an opponent in common with Rigo, Beranza,who went the distance against junior and Rigo made him quit. what are the double standards here?
So what if he's an amateur champ? Most amateurs champs didnt fare well in the pros. And 10 wins in the pros doesnt mean **** if you fought 10 bums along the way. He even got knocked down by a jab and ran all over the place like **** when he faced cordoba.
Cordoba- former champ ramos-current champ casey-european champ Marroquin-contender,tall and ranked high Kennedy-contender,nothing special but a contender. Beranza-very experienced and seasoned veteran who has been in the ring with the elite of the division. if you call them bums...what do you leave for yourself?
No one would complain if Bradley fought Mosley are you serious? Pac was already criticized for doing so, Same as Canelo with good reason.
He needs a fight like Arce to excite the stupid fans who are ragging on him for being boring. Rigo does not even come close to fitting that bill.
I hear ya but It is pretty obvious to every boxing fan including Donaire fans even though they do not want to admit it. Donaire sees Rigo as a huge threat and knows that is a fight he very well lose.
cordoba = didn't look good winning it ramos = weakest title holder who got schooled by shimoda for 7 rounds before the lucky KO marroquin = never fought for a word title before kennedy = no comment beranza = his record is 35-25 pretty bad resume IMO , he needs a big win
Well hell if that's the case then give Darch the rematch. Vic just beat a took the "0" from Del Valle, and looks to still have plenty in the tank. With Vic's style and Donaire's counter punching, these "stupid fans" should get excited. I can see Donaire getting another nice KO to shut Vic mouth once and forever and at the same time excite all fans.
never said cordoba wasn't a great win , i said he didn't look good winning it . ramos , a great win ? GTFO scorecard of the ramos - shimoda fight before the KO : 55-59 | 54-60 | 55-59 all for shimoda .
Alexander Bakhtin 30-0 11KO looks to be a good scalp. He seems to be untested but I fear he's style might be more technical and just give another fight lacking excitement. Do you guys see Bakhtin as a decent opponent for Rigo or Nonito?
based on your fighters above, it seems rigo shouldnt be called elite then. he needs more fights to be with the elite. it's like you're Devon who wants to fight Floyd and Manny but never knows the name Kell ****ing Brook.
