    100% Floyd. Way more competent in offensive fighting.

    Is this pre or post pressure cooker Rigo?

    Pre-chef Rigo loses
    Post-chef Rigo doesn’t get cleared to fight

    Rigondeaux easily. Look at how Corley, Judah, and even ancient Pac gave Floyd problems. Floyd would have Cuban Olympic flashbacks, and realise he’s in with someone far superior to him.
    I doubt Floyd could land a glove on him.

    Floyd and offensive fighting lol. Look at prime Rigo and his shot selection, look at Rigo’s combination punching when he was dominating the Olympics. Rigo is better than Floyd at absolutely everything, by a long way.

    Question here... Is this proportional, or all relevant measurements the same?!

    Because if Floyd were 5'7" like Rigo and have his same proportional size, he would have a 71" reach, basically ending the competitiveness knowing Rigo's and Floyd's fightstyles. Of course Floyd having a very thin frame that way, so much less muscle strength, but would win easy on points.

    If Floyd would have Rigo's height, weight and 67½" reach however, it would have been quite interesting without Vegas judging.

    Have to favour Rigo very strongly here. Nothing a slickster fears more than another slickster and Floyd always struggled against slickness and Rigo was slicker than oil on grease. Floyd excelled against aggressive big slow plodders with short/shorter reaches or fighters suffering from slickness deficiency but fact is he was given serious problems everytime a slickster was standing in the opposite corner to him.

    From the infamous sparring session with the super slick Paul Spadaforda who made him pull a gym no mas with his speed and slickness, glorified albeit slick club fighter Emmanuel Augustus who Floyd described ''my toughest opponent ever,'' Zab Super Judah who was schooling his ass prior to self-doubt creeping in after losing his previous fight to Baldomir and having been sparked by Tsyzu in a couple of rounds, and the four round boxing lesson rank novice Sugar ''Money''' Mac administered to him.

    Look how easily the 0-0-0 Sugar ''Money'' Mac was able to walk him into his educated counters and trust me Rigo is light years ahead in terms of slickness and power than that rank novice version of Sugar ''Money'' Mac. Can we honestly say that a Sugar ''Money'' Mac with even just one or two more bouts of boxing experience under his belt wouldn't have beaten Floyd, let alone one with as much experience as Rigo or Floyd?

    I wouldn't put too much stock in sparring. Spadafora wasn't that good. Dude went life and death with Sosa and Dorin. Sosa dropped Spadafora TWICE, and they weren't flash knockdowns either. Spadafora was badly hurt. Floyd had enough power at 135 to stop Spadafora.

    1) Floyd would have ducked

    2) Floyd would age Rigondeaux out 3 more years after Pressure Cooker KO1
