    Instead of staying at his normal weight class fighting jap cans and nobodies from the UK, why doesn't he move up to 135 or 140 and fight the champs there? To be the best you have to prove it like andre ward said, you have to move up and prove yourself right?

    1. He's 125lbs on fight night.
    2. You don't have to move up to dare to be great. Ask Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler and Eder Jofre. Rigondeaux should move down to 118lbs.
    3. He's being ducked by the best because whoever fights him WILL lose. He doesn't bring enough money to the table for them to accept a loss.
    4. Rigo ducked Lomachenko at 126lbs but with both guys so good, the bigger fighter will beat the smaller fighter, so I can understand.

    People like Mayweather have ruined it for people like Rigondeaux. Everyone wants to protect a useless, hollow record and be too business minded.

    Does this apply to a 36 year old Golovkin too? They are the same age and they both won't move up but you only criticize one and defend the other. Get your priorities straight.

    To be fair though your posts regarding Golovkin should be null void as you are in the belief that Badou Jack has a better resume than Golovkin.

    Rigo is very ugly (not just his style, but his face also).

    Man you really like Rigo a 5'4" 36 years old who could make 118 daring to be great fighting people twice his size You should think before posting something so crazy, you know tons of posting about the "others" 112 dropping belts and moving up before facing him the only fighter I really admire is Mares who said the true everybody is afraid of him.

    Rigondeaux was on his way to losing a wide UD to Jazza before an accidental punch broke Jazza's jaw
