    If they were the same weight .I know its hypothetical. But see Rigo out hustling May weather over the full 12 rounds. He just has more subtle skills.

    Floyd doesn't get dropped or make as many mistakes as rigondeaux.

    It'd be very interesting to watch as a fan who appreciates the art of the sweet science, but it'd be a very boring fight to casual fans. They're both masters at their craft and i think it'd be a very competitive technical fight.

    I'd like to see Rigo move up the same amount of weights Floyd has.

    this is the biggest difference . . . I do not think Rigo is the top dog P4P yet (as TS suggest) maybe when Floyd calls it a day. BTW, dont get the haters started because soon OnepunchKO will be saying floyd is ducking Rigo:yep

    It would be one of the highest level boxing chess matches of all time if it ever happened. I think Floyd would win because both would get their hits in, but I think Floyd has the better chin and more pop in his punches at the lower weights than Rigo does.

    We have to see more of Rigondeaux...Rigo has great combinations in his sleeve and strong inside fighting when needed, you have to look at the amateurs to see this.
