If he stays at 122 he's going to have an extremely hard time getting p4p status. I believe he's going to have a hard time getting quality fights in general. He's fighting Cordoba which is definitely a step in the right direction, but nowhere near the p4p radar. To get the best fights at 122 (Nishioka and Lee) he has to travel to Japan, which may not be congruent with his team's marketing plan.

This also goes against a time that has permanent fixtures Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, The war torn super six members, the reemergance of a heavyweight on the list, a back and forth battle for middleweight lineal titles. And other lineal contests.

Last but certainly not least, he is not a Golden Boy fighter.
Rigondeaux won't just stay at 122, and I think he could any of the guys to come to america because he will be a bigger draw than Lee or Nishioka and they will make more money in the states. He also states that he will be willing to go down and face Montiel and/or Donaire, or go up to 126 and face Gamboa, JML, Caballero, etc.

Morales, with the competition he's facing? He has barely started as a pro and he is facing a guy that beat Caballero before. That seems pretty good to me for his 7th pro fight.
