He is done it, he won a major belt on his ninth fight and if the 122 elite class were willing to face him, you will know what we do.
And so? Does that make my post false? Are you saying that Kennedy is top 10? Why are you always insisting that "rigo this, rigo that" when he could fight Nishioka or Arce himself if he wants to! Wait, they are all ducking him!!!!! Here are the top 10 of WBC: Victor Terrazas (Mexico) SILVER Rafael Marquez (Mexico) Alexander Bakhtin (Russia) Sod Kokietgym (Thailand) ABCO Akifumi Shimoda (Japan) Yoandris Salinas (Cuba) LATINO Kiko Martinez (Spain) EBU Fernando Montiel (Mexico) Oscar Gonzalez (Mexico) USNBC Masaaki Serie (Japan) Steve Molitor (Canada) Jenifel Vicente (Dom.

He has to chose Teon Kennedy as an opponent? I amsure there are names in those lists that arenot ducking him.
Another bum? Well at least Rigondeux is fighting. But for real he needs to pick up the pace in beating these bums or he needs to fight a champion even if he has to make himself their mandatory somehow.
I admit he looks like a good fighter on tape but he hasn't beaten anyone to make me think he has a chance against Rigondeux just like Rigondeux hasn't beaten anyone to make me think he has a chance against Donaire.
! I knew it ! , I'm sure it was Arum idea of choosing Kennedy , Rigo would fight ANYBODY , he has a wining mentality and knows he's got skills , like he says : he's QUALITY . Nice list , the problem is that 98% of them still won't fight him even though he has a belt . No Montiel , no Marquez , no Terrazas , no NOBODY . Peace .
Any word on Rigo's contract talks? If Donaire is fighting Arce, Arum could offer Rigo Nishioka on Sept 15.
Why wouldn't they fight him? The worst they can happen is they lose to the champion and if they win they win a belt.
You're right , some names on that list would jump at the chance to fight Rigo , the problem I suspect is Arum , he's the one feeding Rigo nobodies , Rigo's team should pressure Arum and demand better fights , oh well , at least he's fighting more often now . Peace .
