There’s many examples you could use. It doesn’t change the point, it’s far too early based on where he is to compare Chris Rigg to world class footballers.
Hughes got picked for England under 17's at 17.
Rigg was picked at 15, captain at 16.
The pedigree is completely different.

Started more games, won player of the month, scored more goals, had more interest all at a younger age than Rigg.

Not sure what you're talking about.

He played for 6 seasons in the Championship

How is it complete lies, he was starting for Derby at 16, he played more games for them at a younger age. How is it lies?

Hughes made his debut for the club's reserve team as a 70th minute substitute in a 6–1 Central League win over Walsall on 22 September 2011.
By the time he was Rigg's age he had made 1 or 2 league appearances.
He didn't though. Rigg is about a season ahead of where he was. He's loads better too.

What’s that got to do with anything?

Rigg started games for us at 16. He’s now a regular having just turned 17. Will Hughes was never ever as highly rated as Rigg
You said he had more interest. Clearly he didn’t
Er the best clubs in England have been massively linked with Rigg.
Do you seriously think he's going to be still playing in the Championship in 5 years time?

I think he means it probably means he was nowhere near as good and we a bit of a silly comparison. Maybe?

You mean exactly like Hughes at the same age?

Rigg was only 15 when he played against Premier League opposition in the FA cup. Hughes hadn't made his reserves debut by that age.Rigg started games for us at 16. He’s now a regular having just turned 17. Will Hughes was never ever as highly rated as Rigg

Hold on a minute, nobody said there wasn’t interest in Hughes. You said there was more interest in him than Rigg which clearly wasn’t true.
He's had a total 'mare.
