Would be nice to see Rigo apply these gym techniques against better opponents in a real match....maybe he should move up to Featherweight

Move up to fw? To LSC and Frampton? Two guys who already avoided him like plague in 122?

He did just that against Donaire btw when Donaire was considered P4P top 10

You cant live off of 1 fight forever....you don't hear Timothy Bradley stans bringing up Marquez


Since facing Donaire 4 years ago, a person Nicholas Walters even KOd in less time, he's only been in the ring with no good opponents...he needs to move up to 126, since he's saying he can fight at 130 and everyone is avoiding him at 122.


Also, there is MORE than just LSC & Frampton at 126. And Featherweight >> Super bantamweight

Why are we even throwing this in the conversation when hes on a crusade to fight Lomachenko at 130 one of, if not the best fighter, in all them weight classes

Because when the fight doesnt happen....then what? He stays at 122 complaining that no one will fight him?


He needs to move up and challenge himself period....same thing I said about GGG that yall all agreed with, so it's odd to see so much when it comes to saying Rigo should move up 4 lbs and seek out new competition to face him since 122 aint on it

more in featherweight? Arum won't put any of his fighters in against Rigo so Valdez is out too
who left? GRJ? He should change a division only for a hypothetical GRJ fight which maybe wouldn't even be allowed by Haymon? Nah... Rigo is small even for 122, props to him for calling out Loma in 130 for one fight and it would be a brave move from him to move up even 1 division further but it can't be expected by anyone. As a small 122 Rigo can't be hold responsible for not moving to featherweight. if he does that's great but I won't demand or expect it from him, especially that the bigger fighters probably won't or can't fight him in that division either.

thats right..you did say this and everyone was very much in agreement..because i know who agreed with the opposite that GGG should unify 160 first before moving up ..and it was a very small minority

 

[Newzz]

So wouldn't that mean Lomachenko at 130 would be out too since he's a TR fighter?

GRJ? He should change a division only for a hypothetical GRJ fight which maybe wouldn't even be allowed by Haymon?

You dont know this and never heard of GRJ turning down an opponent, so why start making up scenarios to keep Rigo at 122 when he claims he can fight no one there?

Magdaleno is a TR fighter at 122, so wouldn't that rule him out too?

At 126, GBP has fighters, PBC has fighters, as well as other promoters have opponents. Rigo, since he's willing to move up to 130, and 122 is avoiding him, should permanently move up to 126. Why yall acting so scary about it, it's 4lbs?

Nah... Rigo is small even for 122, props to him for calling out Loma in 130 for one fight and it would be a brave move from him to move up even 1 division further but it can't be expected by anyone.

Yall cant be serious

As a small 122 Rigo can't be hold responsible for not moving to featherweight. if he does that's great but I won't demand or expect it from him, especially that the bigger fighters probably won't or can't fight him in that division either.

Rigo is the only 122lber in history who can't fight at 126, but can call out a man who is looking to fight at 135 by the end of this year, to fight him at 130


Rigo cant move up 4lbs now


The inconsistency is here bright and early this morning

 

[Newzz]

thats right..you did say this and everyone was very much in agreement..because i know who agreed with the opposite that GGG should unify 160 first before moving up ..and it was a very small minority

GGG says everyone is ducking him at 160, I say he needs to move up to 168 then and find new challenges like others have...especially because he says he would fight Chavez who wasn't at 168....The Ring = Newzz

Rigo says everyone is ducking him at 122, I say he needs to move up to 126 then and find challenges like others have...especially because he says he would fight Loma who is at 130 and 126 is before that division....The Ring = Newzz


The bias is thick in here

only way he gonna allow one of his fighters to face Rigo if he is sure enough his fighter gonna win. 130 vs Lomachenko? Maybe Arum will believe that Lomachenko surely gonna win so he allows it. Valdez in 126? no fukking way he allows it.
I didn't say shyt about GRJ ducking him I said Haymo probably won't allow it. Haymon protects his investment just like Arum, he won't put in one of his fighters to take a likely L against a fighter who doesn't even bring big money...

I said Rigo deserves praise if he moves up or calls out Loma in 130 since he is a small fukking 122 pounder and idc about your abnormal standards toward fighters you don't like, it is not expected from him to move up. Staying in 122 is the normal fukking thing to do if someone is small even for his own division whatever how good he is in that division.
If he already moves up, calling out the most known and most hyped fighter 130 and under makes the most sense to him he has more chance to land that than Frampton, LSC, or any other top name in featherweight because in this case the big promoter MAYBE gonna believe that the risk worth it since his guy would be the betting favorite.

You're constantly talking about Rigo for 2 days you not bored yet? I am already.

 

[Newzz]

only way he gonna allow one of his fighters to face Rigo if he is sure enough his fighter gonna win.

You don't know this. He just allowed one of his fighters to face GGG (Jacobs) and 2 of the others to face Canelo (Khan/Brook), but the door is going to close when it comes to facing Rigo at 126, when according to you Rigo is too small for 126.......and even though he's willing to go up to 130?

130 vs Lomachenko? Maybe Arum will believe that Lomachenko surely gonna win so he allows it. Valdez in 126? no fukking way he allows it.

Would Arum allow Magdaleno to face Rigo at 122 then, since he's not on Valdez' level?

You would have to say "no", which further increases my point....what is the reason of him staying stuck at 122 then, instead of moving up or down 4 lbs?

I didn't say shyt about GRJ ducking him I said Haymo probably won't allow it. Haymon protects his investment just like Arum, he won't put in one of his fighters to take a likely L against a fighter who doesn't even bring big money...

So, Rigo should just stay at 122 and keep complaining about having no one to fight, instead of moving up 4 lbs, is what you're saying?

I said Rigo deserves praise if he moves up or calls out Loma in 130 since he is a small fukking 122 pounder

If he's "too small" for 122 as you keep proclaiming, that would mean his best weight would be 118 and he could make 114. So, then why doesn't he move down to 114 and get involved with Chocalito, Monster, Cuadras, Estrada?


Keep the excuses coming

and idc about your abnormal standards toward fighters you don't like, it is not expected from him to move up. Staying in 122 is the normal fukking thing to do if someone is small even for his own division whatever how good he is in that division.

No it's not, shut up


You don't even know that Rigo has ALREADY fought 3x at Featherweight in his career, but you in here not making any sense


Talking about "abnormal standards".....abnormal what? What is ABNORMAL about asking a fighter who's claiming he's being DUCKED to either move up or down just 4 lbs???


Aint nobody asking him to move up to 135, or even 130. Yall sitting in here rubbing each other's backs over TRAINING VIDEOS and then got the NERVE to get sassy when someone says he should move up or down 4 lbs and do this to better opponents than he's fought in the last 4 years since he's saying no one will fight him in the division he is now


Sit down somewhere, you sound foolish always trying to fit in with something and not making no damn sense




AND for the record, I said this SAME THING to Rigo...and unlike you being all scary about it, he liked it which could mean he would do it



View media item 13785



Talking about some "abnormal standards" when the man himself doesn't even disagree with that though of moving up to 126

We are talking about Rigeaux conceding 12 pounds tho not 4

We are talking about Rigeaux competing with Lomachenko, this checks both of your "what Rigeaux should do" boxes

What kind of trickery you on breh are you protecting Loma with distractions

 

[Newzz]

We are talking about Rigeaux conceding 12 pounds tho not 4

You don't remember us discussing this exact topic 2 years ago in here breh?


The fight didn't happen at 124, and it's not going to happen at 130....so I'd rather skip to the end of the movie and discuss where he goes from here. You're on Rigo's twitter page just like I am. You see him constantly saying that TR is afraid to put Loma in the ring with him, so why would I come in here and only talk about a fight at 130 even Rigo isn't positive would happen?


That's why Im saying he needs to move up to 126 period (or even down to 114-118), regardless of what happens with Loma, so that he can face better opposition than the no name Japanese Boxers we've never heard of before

We are talking about Rigeaux competing with Lomachenko, this checks both of your "what Rigeaux should do" boxes

You are a betting man Leon....what do you think the odds are of Loma vs Rigo at 130 actually happening? Especially since they've been down this road before, Rigo is saying 130 is too much for him and has already said a $1.5 million pot is not enough money for a fight between the 2 of em? You think ESPN is going to offer Rigo $1 million to fight on their network vs Loma?


I don't think the fight will ever happen, so im moving the topic of discussion into something more realistic.....Rigo moving into another division and securing better opponents, rather than staying at 122 where he cant get a fight according to him

What kind of trickery you on breh are you protecting Loma with distractions

How? I haven't posted one thing on Loma's page and not once have I said I DONT want them to fight. As a matter of fact, when it initially all started off (the talks) about 2-3 years ago, I sided with Rigo until he turned down the fight over money. Since then, nothing has changed over the last 2 years after Rigo fights:


Rigo tweets about Loma
Rigo says Loma is a great fighter who would fight him, but TR is scared to put him in with him
Loma sends back funny tweets at him
Rigo continues to twitter campaign


^^^Am I supposed to continue to say "Loma beats Rigo" over and over again? Or should we shift the topic to discuss "what's next for Rigo in the event he doesn't get Lomachenko?"

 

[patscorpio]

if only boxing public and powers to be can give Rigo the attention we've been giving him for the last couple of days on here lol
