    Rigondeaux's Boxing Manager Tweeted :

    IBF champ Kiko Martinez doesn't want Rigo, WBC champ Santa Cruz doesn't want Rigo. We have the WBA and WBO so it's time to go to 126lb!!

    You have to respect him win or lose if he moves up because he didnt need to go there, he should beat most just he wont be rehydrating much so if he gets hit it could do damage

    Rigo "El CHACAL" is the greatest. 122-130lb

    Geez, does Rigo even walk around at 110? The guy looks tiny.

    Big credit to him if so. He's already undersized at 122. That makes the Loma fight even easier to make.

    Very horrible management :-(

    Rigondeaux was already tiny at 122 lbs, most fights coming in the ring 122-125!

    Guys at 126 hydrate to 140, have much more reach & height. He should move to 118 & take on Yamanaka instead, wait in 118 for a P4P mega showdown with Roman Gonzalez

    Rigondeaux management has to be the worse ever, another mismanaged Cuban talent :twisted:

    I don't care what skills Rigondeaux handlers think he has, but he will get KTFO in 126...No doubt...

    Wait, so, he has to fight for all the rubbish belts or else he moves up to fight for the rubbish belts there?

    Bad motivation, but whatever works. I'm glad for the sake of competitive matches...

    The size advantage is too big at 126, his management sucks, no other way :patsch

    They have a stiff mentality of thinking its still the amateurs, show up at walking weight and make opponents look bad by missing :roll:

    Rigondeaux would have been a superstar now, had he started at 112 lbs (hydrating with ease to what he comes at now 122-125 and KOing opponents, picking up 112, 115, 118, 122 titles) then the media will understand why he has to outbox guys bigger than him.

    Moving to 126 is forcing Rigondeaux to box safe 12 rds or get KTFO, anyways unfulfilled PRO potential seems to be a Cuban thing :roll:

    According to Robert Garcia Rigondeaux schools welterweights in sparring. If he can beat up welterweights in sparring, he can handle featherweights.

    Thats fine & dandy, why Rigondeaux didn't win any title from 112, 115, 118 although he easily can make these weights...Amateur Cuban mentality :dead
