What Frampton said about Rigondeax is

That's why I think it's the biggest duck in modern boxing history. The man didn't even hide the fact that he's scared ****less of Rigo..

Frampton- "Rigo is a great fighter. However, I'm 29 and looking after my family."

atsch:rofl


Many fights fail to materialize for a number of reasons. Venue problems, promoter problems, management issues, money issues and or weight.

Literally none of these things are holding the fight back. Rigo is willing to fight Frampton in his hometown for pocket change, but Frampton in his own words fears for his safety.

 

The more shameful part is on the fans who tear down Twitter pages of guys who won't fight GGG but largely ignore or encourage (CST80) fighters to duck Rigondeaux because they feel he is boring.
Real punk ass-ness on Frampton, Santa Cruz, and boxing fans and media like Diabetes (Fat) Dan.

 

Yep. The question is whether you care about the best fighting the best or whether you'll just cherrypick when you invoke that notion for your favorites while ignoring it in other instances. If you start talking about business reasons for ducking Rigondeaux, you better be ready to let guys across the sport similarly cite business reasons for ducking as well.

 

He's a very good fighter, but he needs to fight rigo. Man up now.

 

Come on guys give the man his dues...

His feat on Saturday night was amazing, once the dust settles he will choose the right thing to do

Its apparent after sat that 126 is his natural weight now, so will Rigo come up for the fight?

No one can argue from a business sense this fights makes no sense at all

I however as a huge Frampton fan will be disappointed if this fight does not happen, ive been calling for it for a while now

And btw it would be a stinker aswell, we know styles make fights and these guys style would not gel

 

Rigo is the second most avoided fighter today.

Both he and GGG would have much better resumes if those "champs" in their weight class actually gave them a shot.

 

Indeed it's a straight up duck.

 

Though I think he deserves an inbetween fight as well, he faced two tough guys back to back.

 

When he says there is no money he means compared to other possible fights. Fact is Frampton has been paid very well for his last two fights and his in a position where he doesn't need to take a very risky fight vs Rigo where the reward isn't as high.

It's not Frampton's fault that Rigo brings no money to the table.

 

There's only one guy that didn't Rigo and Walters. Shame a lot of them duck him including the current Irish champion right now.They know it's not an easy fight.Time to man up! and fight and get the respect.

 

well Rig is special, all you idiots wouldn't want to fight him either but I don't hear you calling yourselves out now do I ?

why I outta take off my belt and whip the whole lotta yeah coward bashers to learn ye a lesson and see how much you like it :bbb

 

I could see that fight being a real let down if it happened.

Very cagey

 

At least some posters are saying consistent here. If you call Canelo a duck you have to call Frampton a duck or worse, because at least Canelo was willing to fight at 155, while Frampton wouldn't fight Rigo at any weight.

Inb4 a little g fan says Canelo would never have fought GGG at 155, even though the little one made no attempt .

 

Of course it's a duck but I fail to see how the fight could be exciting,it would be a right old stinker in my opinion?
