Post and discuss....imo i think he should,I am a Broner fan but he is p4p 6 according to the ring because he beat Demarco who was not p4p at all nor the lineal champion..then they still have Manny there and he has lost 2 fights straight...Well Rigo just beat the p4p #5 guy and became the lineal champion at 122
I have him at #3, Larry. It was never a matter of skills, only the validation of opposition. Sure, it's ONE fight, but I rate the former that highly. It'll be hard for anyone to top this performance as the Win of the Decade.
I put him at 5 just because I value consistency which Mayweather, Ward, Martinez and Marquez have shown.
IMO, 6th or lower. You might ask why and he just beat the number 5. Well, Donaire has earned his ranking by already climbing up 4 weight classes and won a title on all of it. He nearly cleaned house at 122 also. Rigo can still make it higher by keeping that title or assaulting 126 and beating Garcia or someone close in caliber. That would make him number 2-3.
If he beats Garcia, he's absolutely #1 for me. That would be insane. He's pretty much maxed out at 122 and would be better off staying there.
If he beats Garcia Rigo will solidify himself as one of the greatest fighters south of lightweight. That **** would be insane. In under 15 fights? Are you kidding me? ****
true but still that would be amazing for him to get 2 lineal titles in under 15 fights...thats unheard of
Woah people singing a new tune now. Up until this fight Amateur boxing and Pro boxing are two different worlds, Amateur boxing doesnt prepare you for Pro boxing. What happened?? I'm not trynna have a boxing discussion with you anyways. You've consistently been shown to be a hater and one of the worst posters on this board. Good night to you and your #teamGED2012
I doubted Rigo before this fight but not anymore..i dont see anyone beating him period.He is to quick to smart and is so calm in the ring you have to check if he is even awake
I honestly want him to take it against better judgment to stay at 122, because I know he's capable of doing it. Garcia was phenomenal against Salido sans the anti-climactic ending and currently sits atop the featherweight division. The size advantage would be significant once again. He'd be locked in at the top.
