    He says:

    "Manny fought the best fighters around when he was moving up through weight classes but this phony, Donaire, is disappointing fans all over the world, especially Filipino people, by running scared from the best fighter at 122 pounds," Rigondeaux said. “I competed against more than 250 amateur boxers from every continent and none of those guys were paid to fight me. 'The Filipino Phony' will be paid a king's ransom to fight me, but he's scared enough to move up to 126 just to avoid fighting me. The problem he faces, though, is I will also move up to featherweight once I've cleaned out the super bantamweight division. What's he going to do then, move up to super featherweight?"

    Well if this doesnt get Donaire to fight Rigo that is a true duck.
    He has been calling him out and his wife but no response.

    Funny thing is Donaire is tested at the elite level. Rigo is not. I would have to favor Donaire here.

    Rigondeaux has competed at the elite level for YEARS. best amateur boxer in recent history. including a win over Mares

    He wasn't fighting in local fights...he was competing and constantly beating the best amateurs in the world

    Yeah Rigo, call out Donaire and in the meantime fight bums like Kennedy and Marroquin. Not even the Cubans come out to see Rigo fight, so I'm not surprised Donaire ain't fighting him.

    At least the "Rigo don't sell tickets" argument is out the door...
    Because apparently neither does Donaire.
    (Acording to them numbers from the HDC fight)

    saying Rigo has a padded record is halarious to me. Compare Rigo's first 10 to Donair's first 10. haha, was Donaire a world champ at 8 fights?

    How bout fight better competition? He continues to call out the best fighters in the division claiming they're all scared of him. Rigo fans were talking **** about Donaire's last opponent Mathebula....Well at least that guy was a champion and a world class 122'lber. Rigo talks all that **** and fights Robert Marroquin??? Marroquin's last three opponents since losing are 52-28-7. All of them were coming off loses or on losing streaks.
