    12 fights and he cleaned out Super bantemweight and is the undisputed champ.

    Floyd is more versatile than Rigondeaux

    Comparing them with regarding to stellar opposition. Rigo head above no competition. I can write a whole dissertation about rigo sublime skills. Most of which the casual boxing fans don't even notice.

    No, he doesn't.

    Pea > Floyd > Rigondeaux

    Rigo lacks the same in-fighting prowess.

    And like turbo said, I'd like to see him jump through as many divisions as Floyd (and Pea). He won't even go to 126 (catchweights :lol:) I like him, but **** off with this ****.

    the difference between rigo and floyd is that floyd had the frame and body structure to fill up some more weight. rigo is already too small for 122, his best fighting weight is at 118. even asking the man to move up to 126 is pushing it..:-(

    This is true. It's hard to envisage Mayweather getting shaken by a guy of Marroquins ability, or not dominating Cordoba for every second of every round.

    Regarding their last fight, I do think if Donaire came in focus with a much better game-plan, he might be able to beat Rigondeaux at least 1 time in 10 fights, whereas I see no possible way Guerrero has the tools to beat Mayweather.

    I can write an essay on the great fighters Super Mario Kindelan beat as an amateur, Yet he was fighting a 17 year old Khan in his last olympic finals, it still takes something extra to be an elite PRO fighter, I shouldn't have to say that

    Both are good skill wise, but Mayweather is better.
