    Love to see Rigo take the challenge and move up. If he doesn't, won't change my level of Rigotardation.

    I'm on the little yellow bus wearing an extra padded helmet till the wheels fall off.

      This is how I feel as well. Although the only way he gets back on TV is by moving up. If not, its his career, he can do what he wants and I'll have to settle for YouTube delays.

        They are the same in their relative weightclasses
        Mayweather didn't start his career at 147. You're conveniently overlooking that.

          Why does that matter?

              Lomachenko is right, he's attempting to establish his own legacy from 126 and up, why drop to a weightclass he has no business in? It's much more difficult to drop a division than to go up.

              If anything Rigo can move up to 126 and work out a re-hydration clause, I'm sure Vasyl would agree to it for the sake of the challenge Rigondeaux represents.

              Great fight regardless, a career defining type of clash that would be the signature win for either fighter. Personally I believe Lomachenko outworks Rigo and snatches the decision but Rigondeaux will never be counted out.

                  Why shouldnt he complain?

                  IMO he should be complaining louder and harder than he is. Just because he doesnt want to go to 126 doesnt mean the rest of 122lbs gets a pass on fighting him

                    and what exactly will complaining louder do for him at this point? He's been venting his feelings in regards to the matter for years now and all he did was manage to land the Donaire fight since. The only reason he landed that was because Nonito himself wanted to test himself and he figured he had a shot at beating Guillermo, to top it off Top Rank bought into the Donaire hype and allowed it to happen.

                    It sucks because it isn't only Guillermo's abilities that are making fights impossible to come together, it's his promoters as well. However, I believe Rigondeaux has some of the blame in the ordeal as well. Many opportunities were given up to seek other ventures and he ignored them just to remain stagnant. At the end of the day it seems like Rigondeaux's best days are behind him and at 34(or however old he may be), his time in the sport is diminishing quickly.

                    The worst part of it all is it seems like his Manager and Promoters are discontent with traveling to Japan... JAPAN. The place were they dished out 500k and brought him to millions of homes just a few months back, wtf?

                      I still dont know why Rigo should stop complaining about the rest of 122 not fighting him?

                      Even if they all have better options, it makes sense for him to keep talking about the fights. Eventually maybe one will get riled up enough to fight him, like Canelo did with Lara
