Guillermo Rigondeaux Should Be Banished From ALL Pound 4 Pound Lists...

Not his fault, The Coward of Belfast, and Leo Pantie Cruz ducked him.

 

There's an argument out there that can be made for him, I'm just not of that opinion anymore.

 

I think he already is, isn't he?

 

Agbeko has an iron chin and good defense, a solid guard. He's not getting KO'd by anyone if he goes into defensive mode. Same way Pac couldn't KO Clottey..

How does Rigondeaux get ridiculed for not taking a fight with a guy who would outweigh him by more than 10 pounds in the ring, and have 4 1/2 inches in height over him, while that same guy is given a pass for not moving up and fighting Crawford? Rigs gives up more size to Lomachenko than Loma gives up to Crawford. Some of you are real hypocrites. Mind you, Rigs told Arum to pay him properly and he would fight at 126, no strings, Arum then claimed Rigs was pricing himself out by not taking 400K. lol

 

Pacquiao hasnt beaten any top welterweight except bradley in the past 4 years so i guess he should be removed from the discussion too.

 

Donaire doesn't utilize a tight high guard though. Agbeko's guard was glued to his face much of the time. Donaire threw punches, and was countered by Rigs. Agbeko hardly threw anything so there was less opportunity to counter

Donaire also isn't skilled like Lomachenko. I'm just saying that Rigs is 5'2 1/2 to 5'3. Lomachenko is 5'7 to 5'7 1/2. Rigondeaux doesn't hardly rehydrate, some fights he enters the ring at 122, from his own statements. Had Arum made the proper offer the fight would have happened at 126 no stipulations, as Rigs finally said, just compensate him properly. Arum nixed it, saying that Rigondeaux's refusal to take 400K was pricing himself out. Lomachenko would outweigh him by more than 10 pounds in the ring. By the same token, Crawford is only 5'8, has less of a height advantage over Lomachenko, than Lomachenko has over Rigondeaux and would outweigh Lomachenko by about the same margin, as Lomachenko would outweigh Rigondeaux in the ring. Let's not be hypocritical here.

 

Agreed. Rigo is a superb talent but his diva tendencies and sense of entitlement have killed his career. He's irrelevant in a P4P sense.

 

You're nauseating when it comes to Loma. Given a pass for not fighting Crawford, give it a ****ing rest you imbecile. Loma had 8 fights and just moved to 130 lbs, where he has fought the biggest boogeyman that he chased from 126. Now he is about to rematch his only "loss" all while challenging the biggest names at 126, 130 and 135. He is a boxer without reproach. Now read this post over and over until it gets through to you, and leave Loma the legend out of your blasphemous mouth.

 

Rigo didn't duck anyone FFS! He is a freaking microbe, and is already fighting guys almost twice his size! Where do you idiots come from I wonder.
