I can see why nobody likes you Taeth. Are you this insufferable in real life? Seriously, that's an honest question before you bother reading the rest of my post, if you bother at all. The thing about being a dick is that you have to be smart, or you just end up looking twice as stupid as you originally would have. Would you bother to read my post? Don't act like I don't know who Guillermo Rigondeaux is, I've been talking to you in these threads for years about him and without going to the ridiculously absurd saying he has Pernell Whitaker's elusiveness with Roy Jones temperment and athleticism (I got the jist of that correct didn't I?), I've mostly agreed with you. Just because you lightweight follow the amatuers doesn't make you King Shit in Poop Castle. In fact, instead of telling me to go watch his fights, why don't you go back and read my post? I'm for the most part agreeing with you.
I don't have a problem with him coming up the way I a normal amatuer would, taking 10 or so fights before challenging for a title. Like I have said before, he's not only adjusting to fighting as a professional and not an amatuer, he is also adjusting to making the US his home. If he is going to make a run at the title, he might aswell wait until things have calmed down around him. That is my view, I don't care if he fights on ESPN2 a few times before going to HBO, I still think he can be a champion. Do you understand this?
My sole point was that most others see him as 27 and don't want to hear that, that's the way most people think. Most boxing fans don't take notice until a fighter has actually done something on the professional level. Perhaps rightly so, because plenty of great talents haven't panned out after their first 7 or 8 pro fights. Rigondeaux is an obvious exception imo. Most people don't want to hear people saying that he could beat Marquez or Vazquez but then sign to fight Giovanni Andrade, a C level fighter with a bloated record. That is cheap talk, talk people don't buy. I'm not talking about myself (as if I didn't make that clear enough in my first post), I have demonstrated my faith in his abilities time and time again over the past couple years and I DO think he is a star in wait, all you have to do is read the first few sentences I wrote.
I'm a bit dumbfounded here Taeth, I think you just needed someone to lash out at and just cranky that no one took your bait.
