    We all know rigo is the best boxer in the world today, a better boxer than mayweather, how would a fight look at 140 if mayweather came down rigo could go up to 130, theres no question rigo would win if he fought mayweather at 126 or 130 back in the day,

    would the weight be too big a jump?

    Yes, him being a left handed counter-puncher would **** Floyd off if they fought.

    It's a fantasy fight, but its probably more sensible at 130 where rigondeaux beats floyd hes just too skilled,

    Lara would be at good fight for floyd at 54 hope that happens, he has similar skills to rigo and alot bigger

    Were you get that ( WE ) **** from. I don't know that or believe that. Rigo gets his ass waxed at any weight. He's not fluid enough.

    Ivan Calderon could have beaten Vitali Klitschko via dominant 119-109 UD...



    ...well, besides the weight.

    how is rigo a better boxer than floyd ? some of you idiots hate floyd so much you will say anything to create someone on his level or better.

    if rigo was a 130 when floyd was there isd would be a great with floyd winning by wide ud or late tko. the wide ud comes from all the kd's not a schooling every round. close rounds but i would see at least 2/3 knock downs.

    i have seen only 5/6 rigos fights and i dint see anything he does "better" than floyd. he has a great defense too but he get hit clin too much and has been down too many times to be near floyds level.

    his offense is not 1 / 100th of floyds at the low weights. sh!t his offense isnt even what floyds is at jmw.. am i missing some of his great great technical performances against elites early in his career. i was pretty sure the only fighter that would even in the ball park of being elite was nonito.. butut maybe his AM career counts for him in the pros.

    if ggg AM dont count neither do rigos

    Can't tell if serious.

    Rigo's never fought above 122. Breaking news, I know...

    Mayweather would be too big for Rigondeaux. If you could somehow enlarge Rigondeaux into a welterweight keeping his same dimensions, yeah he would outbox Floyd. Rigs is fast. His counter punching is lightning fast. He has great feet, good power, and he is a southpaw.

    Rigo beating Donaire the way he did is better than any single fight Floyd has ,so im not sure I would use that comparison.

    It's not an opinion dude, any educated fan who knows boxing should understand the skills, and rigo is better than floyd in every area, hes more accomplished aswell, floyd could also never win two gold medals or world championships but has done well in the pros by picking and choosing fighters at the right time!!
