Guillermo Rigondeaux Says: "I'm The Greatest Boxer In History!"

Again pro's and amateurs are a different ball game you know that .

 

Who cares, it's good to have someone saying those sort of things in boxing. If he beats Donaire it will be something, beating a p4p guy in only his 12th money bout.

 

he hasnt done anything amazing as a pro imo.this fight with Donaire will show what he is made of

 

All i can say is wait and see. Amateur boxing, at the elite level that Rigo was fighting, matters. It matters and the sole fact that he is fighting Donaire shows it. If it didnt matter he wouldnt be fighting for a P4P spot at 11-0.

Read slowly, i know it's alot of info for your brain cell to comprehend.

 

Yeah more money on the line, paper titles going around for everyone who pays their fees, don't have to fight anyone if you don't want to.
It's funny that that is the 'professional' version of our sport. Imagine Federer and Nadal refusing to face each other because they weren't getting paid enough, their promoters didn't allow it, or they were on different networks.

'Amateur' or olympic boxing is the sport, you have to win tournaments by facing and beating the best, you have no choice. 'Pro' boxing is just money making. That's why boxing is often viewed as being more like 'pro' wrestling than a legitimate sport.

 

Forget it man, these guys have favourite wrest..... I mean boxers that they support, they don't know the sport of boxing. They just follow characters and whoever is being hyped up at the moment.

 

I wish Rigo would stop talking, he should focus on the fight because even if hes winning his chin can get cracked, he should save all the talking for after

 

This interview is old as ****, years old. Rigo has been relatively quiet this camp, focused and ready to do his talking in the ring.

 

Wtf, yea the pro sport is riddled with corruption and peds but you can't compare that **** to wrestling get the **** outta here with that ****. Going 12 ****en rounds with very little protective gear is no ****en joke, and very different to fighting 3 rounders with headgear. No one is saying that Rigo is ****, he clearly has skills people are just trying to explain that the pros is a whole different ball game.

 

I been around the game for a while and it seems that this is something that your little brain can't comprehend so I will use caps :AMATEURS ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE PROS!

So until proven otherwise he's untested at the pro level but this will be the measuring stick !

 

Oh don't get me started on people refusing to fight one another But the pros are a different ball game some fighters have a better amateur career than the pro..But I hear what our saying ..

 

Yeah it is different, it's the money making, poor opponent facing, hyped up cousin of the actual sport, Olympic boxing.
What's more difficult to win, a pro title or an Olympic gold? There are journeymen in pro boxing who have won 'world' titles.
Rigo with his lack of pro experience picked up a 'pro world title' in no time, do you think that was more difficult to earn than his Olympic medals?
