BoxingScene.com has been informed that two-time Olympic gold medal winner Guillermo Rigondeaux (4-0, 3KOs) is on the fast track to a shot at WBA/IBF super bantamweight champion Celestino Caballero (33-2, 23KOs). I've heard his team is interested in going after Caballero by mid-2010.

Rigondeaux is regarded as one of the best amateur fighters in history. The statistical details jump around but he only lost four to five amateur fights, while winning hundreds more against the best fighters in the world.

There are several reasons for Rigondeaux being fast tracked. He had a late start in pro ranks. Rigondeaux is 29-years-old and turns 30 in less than a year. His team hooked him up with Freddie Roach, the best trainer money can buy. Rigondeaux is not your average boxer turning pro. With gold medals, world amateur titles and hundreds of amateur wins under his belt - Rigondeaux is more seasoned than most of the fighters in his division.
