    Lol. Rigondeaux has 4 fights. A shot Izzy is still a dangerous fight for him. What's the problem?

    Freddie Roach two years ago- I advised Izzy to retire. He was slurring his words and struggling to complete sentences. I thought it was time for him to hang them up.

    Roach now- **** YEAH! RIGO VS IZZY LET'S DO IT!

    This is exactly why he isyappin like this, it seems to me Wildcard Boxing is making a habit out of cherry picking lately, in fact their amateurs out there havent been doing so well in the local shows down here neither.

    Roach also stopped training Vasquez and told him on his face he was already past it after the first Marquez fight.

    Classic Roach. :deal

    Freddy would put Guillermo in with Carlos Zarate if he could get in contact with him

    Thats only half of it, the way it should look is, Roach: Izzy I think its best you retire, you have had plenty of hard fights, and your slurring your words, even though you speak spanish and I dont understand a word your saying you have to be slurring your words and I want the best for you so please retire.......

    2 years later Roach: We are ready to take on Izzy Vazquez any time any place....

    It'd be funny if he didn't already try it just last year.

    "Once Khan takes out Kotelnik, we want Morales on his comeback tour."

    Seriously this guy is just picking on old Mexicans for pleasure at this point. I can just imagine Roach on the phone trying to set up some fights:

    Freddy- Hello Bob? Yeah man, Amir is looking good in training, I think he's got Marquez' number. Ah ha, yeah I hear that man......Listen after Marquez is done, I got my eyes on a new opponent for Amir. Someone durable, tough and at his peak.....No man I'm talking about Lupe Pintor! The guy is the perfect opponent for Amir in the fall! Get it done Bob!

    Well Said Deano...

    Lets make it happen. Rigondeaux vs Isreal Vasquez, Hell even Wilfredo Vasquez or Victor Fonseca of Puerto Rico would be a good fight. On every Boxing website everyone (Gurus, Critics and Posters) swears UP & DOWN that Rigondeaux can beat ALL the top fighters at 122-126 RIGHT NOW...Yet in his next fight he's fighting a 20-12 fighter

    Also Roach needs to have Khan fight someone other than JMM. I would love to see Khan vs Lamont Peterson (because everyone at 140lbs is running away from Timothy Bradley).

    I don't know about that. Watch all those fighters in the amateurs trying to pot-shot Rigondeaux, or the converted south paws trying to score with their forward hand. They all get outpointed. When trailing on the cards they have to step it up and get taken to school.
    This talk is probably due to the Addy fight which was kind of boring (why is it that we always remember the last fight only?) and in which Rigondeaux had to go forward. But to be honest, Addy was pretty much useless as an opponent.
    No, I say he wins over the pot-shotter/boxers easy enough but it'll look a tad boring.

    True and I'd love to run him down for it because I hate that aspect of the business but it is an aspect of the business, not just Roach.
