A move to 126 would open more opportunities for the Cuban sensation, but there's plenty of good fights to be made at junior featherweight. Kiko Martinez, Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg would all qualify as attractive bouts, as would a rematch with Nonito Donaire (who might be moving down in weight).

"Guillermo Rigondeaux will not be moving up to 126 under my watch," Hyde said. "Rigo has been 122 pounds since 1999. He's a small guy who gains four pounds after weigh-ins. Under no circumstances will he fight (at) 126 pounds."

Responding to a BoxingScene story that ran Friday where Rigondeaux promoter , Caribe, said the fighter is ready for the likes of Vasyl Lomachenko and Jhonny Gonzalez, manager Gary Hyde shot down the notion of such matchups.

Rigondeaux is not a featherweight. I'm tired of boxers going to weight classes where they don't belong just because, and then using it as an excuse when they get defeated. Fight where you are comfortable.
