    Who do you got?

    The Cuban Olympic boxing legend with great distance control, reflexes, timing, pinpoint counter-punching, and KO power or the Dominican (pre weight problem and complete ****-up days) with speed and timing of his own, solid power at 122, lots of upper body and foot movement, and an overall slippery and akward style.

    Guzman. This will come down to chin and Guzman had a great chin, Rigo doesn't. What Guzman did to Soto at his prime weight > anything Rigo has done so far in his career.

    Great technical battle, whoever makes less mistakes wins the fight, Rigo's chin looks shaky and theres no way he goes twelve rounds with Guzman without getting chinchecked, with that said i dont see a KO happening in this fight, i think its a very close fight with very hard to score rounds and little between them, this could go either way i pick Guzman with his higher workrate to win a very controversial split decision.

    Guzman at 122 was a beast. He could punch, was lightning fast, threw blinding combos, great defense, good workrate and was a big 122 pounder....... What does Rigo better and how would he deal with the fire storm of combos being thrown his way.

    Guzman=underrated

    Rigo=overrtaed

    Guzman TKO 7

    With all the tools and talent Rigo has he should be like Guzman...... Overwhelming and destroying guys with his skills, speed and power.

    Guzman, he also had power back then also, to go with his slickness and chin.

    Rigondeaux would win.

    Then those that picked against him would make themselves feel better by saying, "oh, but he's boring".
