When you carry vastly superior skills to everyone else in your weight category and there is little money in taking a risk to fight you, it leaves boxers such as Guillermo Rigondeaux in a tough position.

Rigondeaux probably edges Crawford for technical ability but unlike the American, he does not offer fan-friendly fights and it has left most promoters in the world not seeing any logical reason to face him, especially now he does not hold the WBA super-bantamweight belt.

One way or another, the Cuban will get his hands back on a world title but unless he alters his fighting style or brings more money to the table, he will be left having to chase low-key opponents to boost his profile around the world.

There is no doubting that he is an exceptional talent and could easily still beat each of his opposition if he is prepared to alter a style that earned him 475 wins from 487 amateur contests but either way, it seems unlikely that the 35-year-old will ever be beaten given that other world-class fighters are steered away in the other direction.
